This is part 2 of my 5-part series on how to *actually* stop procrastinating. If you're struggling to move forward with your business because there's a big decision you need to make first then you need to listen to this episode (part 2)...

Maybe you need to figure out the perfect niche, your messaging, your branding or you're still deciding which social media platforms you should be on.

You've probably been signing up for webinars, listening to podcasts and buying programs to help you BUT rather than feeling clearer, you feel more confused than ever and more pressure to get it just right…

You don't want to make the wrong decision, you want to get it right from the beginning so you have the best chance of succeeding.

If you're like the perfectionist entrepreneurs I work with, there are a few big decisions that have been keeping you stuck. It's counterintuitive but your human brain feels discomfort when making a decision that involves you changing your circumstances - even if that's a positive change. Your human brain doesn't want you to make more money and it doesn't want you to put yourself out there. It wants you to stay safe and that means staying in familiarity, even if you hate having to work for someone else and not being able to rely on your business financially.

By the end of the episode, you'll be able to use my simple 5 step process for making decisions and use it to make a decision that feels good for you, in a timeframe that doesn't freak your perfectionist brain out.

You can use this today to get yourself unstuck.
