#62 - Taming Perfectionism

Did you know you that you can be a perfectionist and not have a perfect life?

It's true!

If you know the difference between a debit and a credit, you just might be a perfectionist.

This week you'll learn that:

• The accounting profession is a breeding ground for perfectionism.  
• Perfectionism isn't about arrogance or a lack of humility, it's about the fear of not doing enough or being enough.
• Whether it shows up in your tendency to procrastinate, your lack of self-confidence or the feeling of burnout, striving for perfection as a female accountant mom is a much bigger issue than you may realize.  
• Taming perfectionism doesn't mean giving up on success or settling for mediocrity. 
• The key in taming perfectionism is understanding how your negative-focused brain has been judging you like a drill sergeant who never has anything nice to say about you because they think that's the way  it will motivate you.   
• The best thing you can do is to manage your mind, take back control of the script and write a story that feels better to tell yourself and share with others.
