Ep 404: Perfectionism, Power Planning + PGSD with Kristen Cain (best of the podcast)

In this episode I'm interviewing Kristen Cain, a style coach and committed PGSDer, on all things perfectionism and Power Planning.

Kristen heard me talking about PGSD on this podcast for an entire year before she signed up.

Kristen listened diligently to every episode, worked hard to apply what she learned to her business and started to make progress with her perfectionism handbrake.

If anyone was going to change their life with the help of the podcast, it was Kristen.

During that year as a podcast listener she rebranded her business, created a new website, started offering mini styling packages and began showing up on instagram more often (though she still ghosted her followers from time to time).

But in Kristen's words, she was in a familiar place for perfectionists: "I was doing all the pretty, fun things so that I didn't have to do the scary stuff that would actually help me be successful".

Here's what happened once she joined…

Within 3 months of being inside PGSD, Kristen was planning properly as a perfectionist:

✔ Kristen had a clear goal that gave her direction, clarity and focus

✔ She created pricing that she felt confident in AND got her styling clients better results

✔ She started signing styling clients with her new packages and pricing

✔ And she made her investment back

Within 6 months of being inside PGSD, Kristen was having her most successful year in business (ever).

She was consistently uploading videos to her YouTube channel every week, sending her weekly newsletter without fail, confidently promoting her services and was even approached by a random person at the grocery store who'd been loving her IG lives.

And 1 year after joining PGSD, Kristen is signing $2,000 styling clients directly from her YouTube videos.

This is something she never thought would be possible for her.

This kind of growth is possible for you to…

To build your business to $100k you need to get out of your own way. And anyone can learn how inside PGSD.

If you resonate with what Kristen and I talk about in this episode - and what I talk about on this podcast - and you're ready to get out of your own way then I invite you to join us inside PGSD.

If you feel behind on your $100k goal, it's just because nobody's taught you the different productivity rules that apply to perfectionists.

To make $100k you need to work smarter, not harder. And to do that you need to get your perfectionist mindset on your side.

If your week is filled with lost time even though you're always busy working, it's time to take control of your productivity. The process for getting out of your own way is simple - plan properly as a perfectionist, get into a growth mindset and release your perfectionism handbrake. And it's easy when you know how!

My group coaching program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD) is designed to get perfectionist entrepreneurs to $100k. Inside you'll get the coaching and productivity tools that address your perfectionism head on so you can create sustainable, long-term productivity - and build your business to $100k and beyond.
