150: The Perfectionism-Procrastination Loop
from Your Virtual Upline Podcast
Do you ever find yourself stuck and not wanting to move forward? Or maybe you are just not taking enough action because you're obsessed over making sure everything looks perfect? If you answered YES to either of those questions, then you're trapped in the Perfectionism-Procrastination loop. I've worked with thousands of network marketing leaders, and I now know that the THE biggest enemies on our journey to success are PERFECTIONISM and PROCRASTINATION. Perfectionists think anything short of perfection is unacceptable. Perfectionists spin this need as a 'good thing.' But, in reality, perfectionism is just a delay tactic….one that's seen as 'acceptable' by society. But, it's also one that won't grow your business. If you are a perfectionist, I want you to know this -- perfectionism isn't just about having high standards. It's defining your success in such a narrow way of thinking and then punishing yourself for any type failure. Perfectionism, if left unchecked, can kill both your personal and business growth long-term. And procrastination is actually a BYPRODUCT of perfectionism. WHY? Because perfectionists fear being unable to complete a task perfectly, they put it off as long as possible. The higher the fear of failure and ridicule, the more perfectionists procrastinate, and this is where the Perfectionism-Procrastination Loop begins. So, how do you break the Perfectionism-Procrastination Loop? Well, I cover that and more in today's podcast episode! Listen now!
