Listener Fave: Perfectionism's Upsides and Downsides

<p>You&#39;ve probably told yourself you&#39;re a perfectionist like it&#39;s a badge of honor. Detail-oriented. High standards. Won&#39;t put your name on anything that isn&#39;t right.</p><p>But what if perfectionism isn&#39;t your superpower? What if it&#39;s the reason your website still isn&#39;t live, your inquiry response takes three hours to write, and you&#39;ve been &quot;almost ready&quot; to raise your prices for six months?</p><p>This episode is one of our most listened-to episodes ever, and we&#39;re bringing it back because summer is exactly when perfectionism tends to win. Busier schedules, less margin, more reasons to delay the thing you know you should do.</p><p>Katy and I are both perfectionists. Different kinds, it turns out. And in this episode, we get honest about what that actually looks like in a real business and a real marriage, including how each type quietly sabotages your growth in ways you might not even recognize yet.</p><p>If you&#39;ve ever delayed a decision because the timing wasn&#39;t perfect, or finished something only to immediately wonder if it was good enough, this one was made for you. You&#39;ll walk away with language for what&#39;s actually happening when you stall, overthink, or avoid, and a clearer picture of where your particular brand of perfectionism is costing you the most.</p><p>Summer is short. Don&#39;t spend it stuck.</p><p><br></p>
