There’s a lot of talk in the entrepreneurial world about the dream of “being your own boss.” But what happens when you finally become your own boss… and realise you’ve turned into the worst boss you’ve ever had?

This episode introduces a different way of thinking about how perfectionism is showing up in your business. It’s a metaphor that’ll help you really see why you keep getting in your own way – and what to do about it. Because when your perfectionism handbrake is on, it doesn’t matter how motivated or disciplined you are. You’ll still feel behind, burned out, overthinking everything, and wondering why nothing is working.

In this episode, I’m walking you through what it means to be both the boss and the employee in your business – and how perfectionism can make both of those roles way harder than they need to be. I’ll show you how to start being the kind of boss you actually want to work for (no matter where you’re at right now), and why that shift alone can change everything.

Inside PGSD, we teach you how to be the kind of boss you’d actually like to work for and the kind of employee who gets shit done without burning out.

If you’ve been spinning your wheels and wondering what you’re missing, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on and how to finally get out of your own way.
