When we're following planning advice that doesn't work for perfectionists, we struggle to know which tasks to prioritise. We have SO MANY ideas and we want to do them all, perfectly, right away.

But we don't trust ourselves to pick the right tasks to focus on or to do them consistently. We also don't trust ourselves to handle the success, money and the attention that would follow…

Because of this, we prioritise the familiar and easy tasks on our to-do list and lament the fact we don't have more time to get to the important marketing tasks we know we need to do.

But once you know how to identify your needle movers, busywork and procrasti-learning are naturally replaced with self-trust and ACTION.

That's why the fifth and final episode in my 5-part planning series is on how to identify your needle movers when everything feels important.

By the end of this episode, you'll know which questions to ask yourself so identifying your needle movers is easy. You'll also have a new way of thinking about needle movers so that you don't feel so much pressure to pick the 'perfect' task or pressure to work on.

As a perfectionist entrepreneur who wants to make a meaningful contribution to the world, the kindest thing you could possibly do for yourself is to honour your potential, rather than protect it.

We perfectionists get in our own way because we're scared to find out that our best isn't 'good enough'.

We procrasti-work, overwhelm ourselves and burn ourselves out because we're terrified that giving a full, balls-to-the-wall effort might come up short - and that we will end up finding out we're unintelligent and unlovable.

But when you're planning properly as a perfectionist, you'll naturally be using your calendar as a tool for kindness.

Being kind to yourself as you plan is about doing the most important tasks in your business in a consistent, sustainable, productive and courageous way.

Proper planning makes execution 10x easier and more effective - and dissolves resistance, overwhelm and procrastination.

And if that isn't a recipe for reaching your potential, I don't know what is.

In part four of my planning series, I share practical tips and advice to help you be as kind as possible to yourself with your calendar (because true kindness will make you MORE productive and successful, not less).

If you often feel the urge to rebel against your calendar and plans, this episode is for you. Listen in today.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The difference between kindness and letting yourself do whatever you want
• Why being kind to yourself makes you more productive and successful, not less
• Practical ways to be kind to yourself with your calendar during your work hours
• Why being kind to yourself will automatically happen when you're Power Planning

The only reason you're not doing the things you know you need to do is because you haven't been planning properly as a perfectionist.

The resistance, the procrastination, the overwhelm, the burnout, the struggle to focus - 90% of that automatically dissolves when you're planning in a way that gets your perfectionist mindset on your side.

You don't need more time for your business, you just need to learn how to plan properly as a perfectionist.

And anyone can learn.

In fact, learning Power Planning is just like learning to drive - it might be new at first but once you learn it, you put that skill on autopilot and get the benefits for a lifetime.

I walk you through the 3 steps of Power Planning - including why each step works for perfectionists - in the third part of my planning series.

Listening in will help you follow through with your plans (even when navigating big life transitions), make execution 10x easier and more effective, and make you more productive without putting your personal life on hold.

If you NEVER follow through with your plans and you're tired of getting in your own way in your business, this is for you.

In this episode I'm talking to one of our PGSDers, Christy, about her journey to becoming a full-time entrepreneur with the help of PGSD.

Christy Romano is a Certified Health Coach on a mission to help perfectionists nourish their bodies, break free from anxiety, and love the skin they're in. Through her healing journey she learned effective strategies to rewire her anxious mind, overcome perfectionism and take care of her body holistically. She's now guiding her clients as they build a healthy, balanced lifestyle to thrive inside and out.

Christy joined PGSD in 2020 and went full-time with her business in 2021. I'm excited for you to hear the ups and downs of Christy's business journey, especially if you're also navigating the journey of going from full-time work to being full-time in your business.

This important episode is going to normalise what often happens when you make this transition, including the decisions to be made, the questions to answer and the feelings that come up. This will show you how the experience can look like so that when you go through it with your own business, you never mistakenly think you're off track.

Rachel is an artist that enjoys capturing people and characters in her illustrations and loves to share her creative journey with others. She joined PGSD because she had spent years dreaming of pursuing art full time but was too afraid to put her work in front of potential customers and start selling.

With the help of PGSD and Power Planning, Rachel finally opened her online art store and made her first sales - all while working fewer hours than she had before. I'm excited for you to hear how Rachel used Power Planning to grow her business and become the artist she wanted to be (without feeling stressed).
