870: Beyond Perfection: 4 Gifts of Embracing Imperfection

from Shameless Leadership · host Sara Dean

Hi Perfectionist Friend, I SEE you. I know you. Sometimes, I am you. You likely find yourself often feeling stuck. You’re tightly holding onto dreams, but unable to take steps toward them. You feel the weight of chronic decision fatigue as you try to determine what the next “best” or “right” step is. So you find yourself waiting. Waiting until the time and conditions are juuuust right. Yet, somehow that time never comes. I know you want more - but with less worry, nervousness, and anxiety.   I see you worrying about what others might think if you flop. I see you anxiously stuffing your dreams into deep hiding places because you think you might fail. Perhaps you desire perfection so deeply you cannot make a decision or take any action because… FEAR. Perhaps you spend inordinate amounts of mental energy on a decision because you think making the wrong decision could ruin everything. One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned in motherhood and entrepreneurship is that perfect sucks. In fact, perfect stops me in my tracks and keeps me stuck for far too long. And, imperfect action is ridiculously liberating.
