Do you keep telling yourself you’re a perfectionist—but deep down, you’re just overwhelmed, uncertain, or scared to get started? So many people blame “perfectionism” for their lack of progress when what’s really holding them back is fear, fatigue, or unrealistic expectations that crush momentum.
In this episode of The Motivation with Brendon Burchard Podcast, Brendon breaks down the truth about perfectionism—and reveals how to escape the cycle of procrastination, self-criticism, and doubt that keeps you from taking bold action. You’ll learn:
The Myth of High Standards: Why perfectionism isn’t about excellence—it’s about fear of inadequacy and control, and how to shift toward a learning mindset instead.
The Overwhelm Trap: How uncertainty and emotional overload disguise themselves as “perfectionism,” and practical steps to regain clarity and confidence.
The Progress Principle: How to stop beating yourself up and start building real momentum by focusing on consistency, not flawlessness.
