How to Overcome Perfectionism in Your Business
How to Overcome Perfectionism in Your Business
Living a creative life is ever-evolving. Staying on the creative path and/or the business path requires that you learn to overcome perfectionism in order to grow.
I had a gemstone jewelry design business for nine years. Now I paint and draw and hula hoop and dance and I love going to see art. Oh, and I also do some performances and improv. And apparently, according to Spotify, I listen to more music than 70% of users (but I’m not musically inclined.)
As a business coach for creative and holistic type businesses, I get to be very creative in my work doing graphic design, content creation, writing marketing copy, and helping my clients come up with ideas and tweaking them.
When it comes to habits like self-care, money, and business, I love helping people figure out how to evolve their behavior in ways that work specifically for them.
I find that mindset, patterns, self-image, and identity are huge factors in how far people can move forward with their vision.
It’s not as much about talent as people think.
Some of the biggest challenges I see that people have, and I’ve dealt with myself are, perfectionism, self-sabotage, and procrastination.
“Perfectionism is a twenty-ton shield that we lug around thinking it will protect us when, in fact, it’s the thing that’s really preventing us from taking flight.”
~Brené Brown
If perfectionism is stopping you from putting anything out there, you won’t get very far.
There are so many sneaky ways that you can sabotage yourself that it’s unbelievable. You know yourself really well, so you may be really good at tricking yourself into repeating old patterns.
“The ability to overcome resistance, self-sabotage, & self-doubt is way more important than talent.” -Steven Pressfield
And procrastination is how these things show up most often. It’s often a reflection of a lack of clarity, lack of commitment, lack of support, perfectionism, and/or self-sabotage.
“If you want to master a habit, the key is to start with repetition, not perfection.” ~James Clear, Atomic Habits
If you’re a creative or holistic entrepreneur who is led by your heart, soul, and vision, people need what you’re offering. And you need to bring it forth for them and for you.
That’s why I created a new four-day challenge for people to experience ways to overcome these 3 challenges.
It’s called the GYHOOYA 4-Day Challenge. GYHOOYA stands for Get Your Head Out Of Your A$$!
It’s the first week of January to make sure you have dislodged your head appropriately to start off 2023.
You will learn practices to overcome perfectionism in your business.
“Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.” ~Vincent Van Gogh
Start small and go big in 2023.
