Consulting Mastery

The myth of perfection


Listen Later

Are you a perfectionist who's paralyzed by the need to make everything "world-class" before launching? I've seen countless consultants sabotage their success by waiting for perfection. Here's the truth: your obsession with flawless systems and polished processes is actually holding you back from real progress. But there's hope. In this episode, I reveal why perfectionism is killing your business growth and share battle-tested strategies to break free from this self-imposed prison - all from someone who's helped over 1,000 consultants overcome this exact challenge.

Show notes:

  • Why waiting for "world-class" systems before launching is actually self-sabotage in disguise

  • The psychological trap that makes smart consultants rationalize their perfectionism (and how to escape it)

  • Real talk: Why your marketing, onboarding, and delivery will never be "perfect" (and why that's okay)

  • The counterintuitive truth about how successful products and services actually evolve

  • A seasoned perfectionist reveals her 3-step framework for getting out of your own way

  • The crucial difference between striving for excellence and being paralyzed by perfectionism

  • Why your definition of "perfect" might be completely wrong (and what to focus on instead)
