For most perfectionists, it feels reckless or even harmful to publish ‘imperfect’ work unless a last minute deadline forces our hand. Whether it’s a piece of content, a client deliverable, a sales page, a piece of art or just about anything else. We don’t want to let go of it until it feels ready. And by ready, we mean perfect.

But this comes at a great cost to our business and to ourselves. We’re exhausted, we’re dependent on external deadlines and pressure to keep us motivated and we don’t get enough practice to become insanely good at what we do. We don’t make sales, we don’t help people and we don’t get to show ourselves what we’re capable of. All because the emotional piece is missing.

I have built a successful business because I have created the emotional capacity to publish ‘imperfect’ work. I let my ideas meet reality before they feel perfect to my perfectionist brain. And I emotionally allow myself to have imperfect work out in the world. I wouldn’t be at almost 500 episodes and 3 million downloads of this podcast if that wasn’t the case.

Creating the emotional capacity to publish ‘imperfect’ work is something that anyone can learn. I know because I wasn’t this way when I first started my business. So today I’m going to help you develop this emotional capacity too.

Tune in to learn the real reasons why you struggle to hit publish, the perfectionist thought errors that make perfectly good work feel incredibly flawed and the practical things you can do to create the emotional capacity to put your work out into the world.

Today I’m helping you explore the areas in your business where you feel like you have your hands tied behind your back.

It’s an important lesson for all entrepreneurs, especially those who have been getting in their own way. Tune in today.
