Ep 585: [Personal Development Series] How To Get Clarity Even When You're Scared of Making The Wrong Decision

This is Part 4 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to make great business decisions even when I was scared of getting it wrong. I used to umm and ahh, procrasti-research, procrasti-learn and second guess myself. I wanted to get every decision right because I didn't want to embarrass myself, I didn't want to waste precious time and money and I didn't want to publicly put myself out there if I was only going to change my mind one week later.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to make great business decisions even when you're scared you'll get it wrong. And the answer isn't just to make an 'imperfect' decision. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.
