Why Waiting for Perfect is Costing You


Listen Later

Are you holding back on launching your dream because it’s not “perfect” yet? What if the real secret to success is simply taking action even if things look a little messy? Hey UNCAGED CLINICIANS! Welcome back to the podcast—I’m David Bayliff. If you’re new, we’ve been here since 2018, talking business, life, and how to make an impact as clinicians. Today I’m flying solo (Josh Payne recently stepped into full-time ministry—so proud of him!).

I want to talk about something that holds so many back: perfectionism. If you’ve ever waited until everything felt “just right” before taking action, this is for you. We all want things to look polished—but waiting for perfect keeps you stuck. I’ve seen great clinicians hesitate because they thought they needed the perfect website, business cards, or setup. Truth is: you don’t.

Here’s what I’ve got lined up for you in this episode:

  • Josh Payne’s exciting new path and our ongoing friendship

  • How chasing perfection can paralyze your business growth

  • Why focusing on aesthetics can distract you from real impact

  • Real client stories about action vs. perfection

  • How to reframe your mindset and prioritize movement over perfection

  • The one thing you should really focus on when starting or scaling

If you remember one thing from today: Perfect is the enemy of progress. Your clients, community, and patients aren't looking for perfect — they’re looking for someone who can help them. Take that first messy step. The world needs what you have to offer! Thanks for tuning in to Uncaged Clinician — and as always, make it a great day!
