The Two Tools That Will Break Your Perfectionism Habit
Manage episode 516315112 series 3680389
You have a brilliant idea for your business, but the moment you're ready to act, perfectionism slams on the brakes. Suddenly you're second-guessing everything, talking yourself out of action, and watching imposter syndrome take over.
If you're a physician building a business, you're learning something new every single day. And that discomfort can trigger old patterns: the need to get it "right," to avoid mistakes, and to seek external validation. But the reality is that perfectionism doesn’t keep you safe… it keeps you standing still.
In this episode, I break down two powerful frameworks that will help you reframe perfectionism once and for all. You’ll learn how mindfulness and imperfection go hand in hand, why discomfort is a natural part of growth, and how your childhood definition of “perfect” may be holding you back from your full potential.
