It’s tempting to look at others in our industry to see if we’re doing things the right way, especially when others are more successful than us. We might look at what others are doing to decide what we plan to do in our business.

There are times when following others’ advice makes sense, yet there are also times when following our own intuition is better. In this episode, I want to talk to you about when to do things your own way, why it’s safe to do so and how to productively compare yourself to others in your industry. Tune in today!

If you’ve been avoiding a new or scary task simply because it doesn’t have a deadline, you’re not alone. As perfectionists, we struggle to follow through on tasks that feel unfamiliar or uncertain—especially when no one else is holding us accountable.

The problem? These are often the exact tasks that will move your business forward. And the longer you put them off, the longer you stay stuck.

In this episode, I’m sharing exactly why perfectionists procrastinate on non-urgent tasks and, more importantly, how to break free from this pattern so you can start honoring the deadlines you set for yourself—even when no one else is watching.

If you’re tired of waiting until the last minute (or never) to take action, this episode is for you.
