Underachieving Perfectionists
from Intelligent Intoxication · host Terri Bradway
When what we’re capable of doesn’t match the results we’ve created, we’re underachieving. One of the factors impacting underachievement is perfectionism. Perfectionism is “refusing to accept any standard short of perfection.” Perfectionism may cause you to “wait to start” or “wait to finish” until you can do so without fault, error, or mistakes. I invite you to consider these questions: When might you be willing to be “done rather than perfect”? When might you be willing to complete B+ work? When might you be satisfied with “good enough”? How might it be true that you only need to know the one next “good enough” step? SUBSCRIBE to my weekly Wednesday newsletter… it’s more of a mini-course intended to intoxicate your self-awareness, satisfaction, and success. www.terribradway.com/newsletter I invite you to click on the link below to book your complimentary happy hour call: www.terribradway.com/work-with-terri When it comes to podcasting, the best way to “tip the bartender” is by heading over to Apple Podcasts and leaving a 5-star review. This helps me imbibe other listeners with the secret sauce of emotional intelligence. And, make sure to “order another round” by hitting SUBSCRIBE. If you’re thirsty for more than this daily shot and ready to intoxicate the hell out of your personal and professional life, I’d love to invite you to coach one-on-one with me.
