Are you waiting for the perfect moment to chase your dreams? That perfect moment isn't coming.

Perfectionism has become one of the most misunderstood concepts in our lives. What many of us proudly wear as a badge of honor—being detail-oriented, having high standards—is actually a mindset trap keeping us stuck in place. As I share in this deeply personal episode, perfectionism isn't about excellence at all. It's about fear: fear of judgment, fear of failure, and fear of the unknown.

I've been there myself. From hesitating to post content online because it wasn't "good enough" to delaying my entrepreneurial journey until everything felt "just right," perfectionism has been my own personal roadblock. When I resigned from my 14-year corporate career last January to pursue entrepreneurship full-time, I quickly learned that success isn't a straight upward line—it's a rollercoaster of highs and lows that requires embracing imperfection along the way.

The real magic happens when we shift our perspective from viewing mistakes as failures to seeing them as valuable learning opportunities. True failure only happens when we give up on our dreams because things didn't go perfectly the first time. By adopting the mantra "done is better than perfect" and focusing on progress rather than perfection, we open ourselves to growth, joy, and ultimately, achievement. Remember, nobody starts anything as an expert—we all begin as beginners, and that's exactly how it should be.
