Overcoming Perfectionism in Business

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Today I’m tackling an issue many of us deal with - perfectionism - and how to overcome it. Perfectionism can feel like a necessary part of becoming successful, but in fact, it’s an obstacle that stops us getting what we really want. Instead of focusing on our own goals, perfectionists can get distracted by unrealistic expectations, procrastination, and anxiety about how others judge us. In this episode, I’ll take you through five daily ways to resist and overcome perfectionism and make your path to success clearer and easier.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">After a quick reminder that there are still seats left for the workshop in January, I start things off by going through some of the characteristics perfectionists tend to display. These include black-and-white thinking, chronic procrastination, and people-pleasing, all of which create a toxic feedback loop that prevents the perfectionist from ever achieving their goals. In order to combat these toxic tendencies, I suggest a list of five daily ways to overcome perfectionism, including setting reasonable expectations instead of impossible standards, not making assumptions, and learning to handle feedback and criticism. Finally, I recommend online therapy as a great resource to help you deal with some of the issues I talk about today.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">You can be part of the Amazon Files and Mommy Income community by joining our</span> <a href= "http://mommyincome.com/joinus"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Facebook group</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">using code word ‘TALK’, where you can learn more about bundling, ask questions, and participate in the conversation with other sellers.
