Why Perfectionism Keeps Your Business Stuck (Even Though You're An Overachiever)


Listen Later

You can be successful on paper and still feel stuck.

In this episode, Skye talks with entrepreneur and investor Kassidy Warren about leaving the corporate “safe path,” taking real risks, and the identity shift required to stop playing small. They unpack rejection, procrastination, reinvesting before results, and what it actually means to turn pro — especially with an ADHD brain.

If you’ve built something stable but know you’re capable of more, this one will hit.

What we cover:

  • The hidden cost of corporate stability and “golden handcuffs”
  • Why procrastination is fear in disguise
  • How to handle rejection without shrinking
  • The mindset shift from amateur to professional
  • Acting before you feel ready — and why waiting keeps you stuck
