Are you caught in a trap that you can't put your work out there into the online business world until it's perfect? Why? Who says it’s not perfect? Really what exactly is perfect anyways? What if you started to believe that complete beats perfect.
Check the boxes
Do you want to know why complete is better than perfect? Well, of course, you do. I know you do.
Here’s what I mean if you're waiting for some version of perfect, more than likely you’re still tinkering around with something you’re aspiring to create.
When you set the bar too high on the first go around it may never actually be finished in your eyes.
The sad thing is that newer entrepreneurs don’t realize you’ll never actually get it complete and you’ll never put it out there into to make an impact.
Complete Beats Perfect
How do I know? Silly, that was me when I started my entrepreneurship. It’s not perfect was my go-to excuse when I wasn’t ready to release my blog post, social media post, my offer, opt-in, the list can go on and on. Guess what happened, those thoughts kept me safe from judgment. The result? Nothing, but a whole lot of back and forth in my mind cause my own inner critic was way worse than anyone else.
Take the leap of faith
What if you take the leap of faith, and trust that God has you’re back? That’s what I had to do.
I had to believe that I could be an entrepreneur. I had to believe in myself, I had to believe enough for my husband who kindly supported me in the first few years when I fumbled around.
Here’s my big secret, my mantra.
Business is easy when I take messy imperfect action.
What is perfect?
But, here’s the thing and I've said it time and time again, my idea of perfect and your idea of perfect are two different things.
What?
You guessed it we both have two different perceptions and ideas on what perfect should be.
So what is my point? What are you not getting done or putting out there because you feel it's not up to your standard?
Someone else shoes
For a minute put yourself in someone elses shoes.
What if your offer as it is right now is what your dream client is needing.
Do you find that the right people are brought to you at the right time for where you are in your business?
When you stop getting tangled up in the little thing, running a business is a heck of a lot easier.
Shift from perfect
What if you shifted your mindset to consider everything as a work in progress? Instead of holding back, putting it out into the world as the starting point, and be satisfied adopt the thinking complete beats perfect.
Here is the magic, give yourself permission for revisions.
Doesn't it feel different to look at it from a new perspective? When you giving yourself permission for revisions, it changes your thinking.
It shifts your thinking on how you want to actually do and achieve those goals and projects.
Why not test it for yourself. Get curious and put something out there when it's almost perfect. Take the feedback and revise it to be better than before. Everything in business is a work in progress and complete beats perfect.
Little Side Note
Where are you getting tangled up in your life and business? When we get tangled up in all the little things it gets us out of balance. Doing B work is still considered above average, amiright?

Private Coaching
Why do I believe in the power of private coaching?
Because it is truly life-changing. When your coach asks you that mind-blowing question that suddenly allows you to see what you've been missing all along that was literally right in front of your face.
You just need someone with a different perspective to help you see it.
Are you ready to experience life from a different perspective?
