Perfectionism is Holding You Back, with guest Jeff Meister

Episode 62 “It was when we were talking about the subject of what's holding you back that I narrowed it down to exactly what. Until the day came that I could say to myself, but more importantly, publicly, “I am holding me back.” Not Gail not anybody in my life. You know we can go down the list, but in the end, we are the ones that either take the steps forward or stay in our heads and keep thinking over and over again until everything is just right. And it never gets to be just right. You may hear fear is holding you back and you think, “that's not me. I don't have a problem with that.” What I discovered was that little booger, fear, is tough to me, but I still have that hurdle to get over. The fear is perfection. I'm a recovering perfectionist. I am proud of the quality of work that I do. I'm very careful and I win sometimes, and I fail sometimes to make it just right. Just right isn't perfect anymore, just right is for a purpose. Now, if I'm making a list of things to remember, I just write it down and don't lose it. I don’t have to look for facts and get the details together right now. Perfectionism has more than one way to present itself, and the obvious one is you keep polishing something until it's just the best it can be.” Jeff Meister Is a Personal Growth and Development Coach, writer, and blogger.
