The Perfectionism Project

Today I want to chat with you about whether or not you should take a break from working on your business over the holidays.

I know this is a contentious subject for perfectionists. We don't like to rest, we don't like to take breaks, we don't like to feel unproductive - especially if you have a full-time job or a part-time job that you get to have a break from over the holidays. You might be putting extra pressure on yourself to be making the most of the time off you have off your job so that you can build your business.

I want you to go into the holidays knowing that you've made an intentional and strong decision about whether or not to take a break from your business. Tune in to find out exactly how to do that.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• How you can practice simplifying your business instead of overcomplicating it
• An exercise to help you release the expectations that are keeping you stuck
• Warning signs that you need to rest
• The questions to ask yourself so that you can make a clear decision to rest or work

Today I'm talking about when to change your sales tactic and most importantly when not to.

Recently, in the PGSD forum and on PGSD coaching calls, I've been talking to quite a few PGSDers who feel that the answer to their lack of clients is that they need to change their sales tactic.

I really want to talk to you about why changing your sales tactic may not necessarily be the best idea. I'll also talk about how long I recommend trying with one tactic before you pivot and change to something else as well as a recent personal experience I've had.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The one thing you need to focus on strengthening before changing your sales tactic
• What I recommend doing to book 1:1 clients easily
• The power of committing to your current sales tactic
• What this looks like for me behind the scenes

Today I'm sharing with you 10 subtle ways your all-or-nothing mindset is keeping you stuck - especially when it comes to business.

This is something that I see a lot in our PGSD coaching calls - all of the subtle, hidden ways that the all-or-nothing mindset manifests itself when it comes to business. A lot of times we think of the all-or-nothing mindset in terms of health and fitness but there are a lot of subtle ways that it shows up.

The more we recognise these ways the better equipped we are to stop that all-or-nothing behavior and actually get into the growth mindset which is going to help us create results. So in this episode, I'm sharing 10 examples with you for how your all or nothing mindset is keeping you stuck.

In This Episode You'll Learn:

• The subtle ways the all-or-nothing mindset is holding you back
• Why you feel like you aren't making any progress with your goals
• Tips and tricks to break the all-or-nothing cycle
• The common mistake that is stopping you from learning and growing

Until recently, I was always racked with guilt whenever I wasn't being 'consistent' on Instagram. I'd been told time and time again that consistent content was the key to business success. And the fact that I kept 'falling off the wagon' made me think I'd never be successful.

If you've been feeling wrestling with showing up on Instagram, this episode is bound to make you feel like a weight's been lifted from your shoulders.
