If I'm not aiming for perfection, what is the goal? ⁠

⁠

I felt it necessary to do a follow up to last weeks episode as sooooo many of you connected with the idea of perfectionism ⁠

⁠

perfectionism isn't productive ⁠

⁠

it sounds "good" ⁠

⁠

but if you're trying to create perfection it is always at the expense of your own self-worth and it's the reason why you don't have the confidence you want ⁠

⁠

when I hear creatives talk about their perfectionism tendencies I know their not making the money or the success they want ⁠

⁠

This rule is true 100% of the time ⁠

⁠

So what's the difference between the creatives who are broke and struggling to the ones who are leading fulfilling careers? Those known as a visionary in their space? ⁠

⁠

They aim for excellence ⁠

⁠

ALWAYS. ⁠

⁠

In this episode I'll show you how to do the same in your creative business⁠

⁠

so that you can produce results that make bank ⁠

In this episode we deeeep dive into the power of your words and what your words are really costing you. PERFECTIONISM. Now, I'm a ex-perfectionist so this comes with love and respect , but you've gotta know that operating from this place is costing you and your creative business big time.

If you call yourself a perfectionist you're likely to;

• Have a creative business (but it's more like an expensive hobby) and you're not sure what it's going to take to get to the next level
• you haven't launched your brand because your still *working* on it
• Your afraid what people will say when you do eventually get the courage to launch

Your business is a vehicle or abundance but it can't bring in the pounds if it just an idea in your google drive
