The Perfectionism Project

Ep 430: How To Stop Procrastinating On Getting Started


Listen Later

I've worked with 1,000+ perfectionist entrepreneurs and something we all have in common is that we procrastinate. We'd rather not do something at all than do it imperfectly. And this is a big problem when it comes to business! More often than not, there's no external deadline to force us into action so we can end up procrastinating on important projects for months if not years.

In this episode I'm sharing advice to help you stop putting off that project you've been wanting to start - whether it's starting a podcast or a Youtube channel or launching a new product or service. Tune in to learn how to finally get yourself moving yourself forward, even if you don't feel perfectly inspired or motivated to do it.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

  • Why I've still been able to succeed even though I've put a lot of things off

  • The reason it's not your fault you've been procrastinating + what to do about it

  • How to think about planning courageous tasks so they're easier to do

  • What to expect when you start a creative project
