Perfectionism and Celebrating Your Wins Most of us are trying to be perfect and set high standards that are likely we could not meet and maybe even get disappointed with ourselves because we could not meet the expectations at all. Some of us create many big goals and focus on the destination rather than the small and significant steps we need to take to get us there. In this episode, we will talk about perfectionism and celebrating our wins. Growth Mindset podSam Webster Harris explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.

Takeaways * If you want to do something really meaningful, it will by definition almost always be hard. * Chase the things that challenge you – keep going and throwing yourself at things that seem impossible. * Mistakes are only that if you don’t learn from them, consider them learnings instead. * There will come a point in your business where you need to shift from “we’re all friends here” to a clear hierarchy with a well-defined structure. * Equally important to building your business is keeping in touch with people in the field and keeping them informed as to what you’re doing. - - - Connect with Roeland Decorte Future Industries (https://decorte.co.uk/) LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-roeland-p-j-e-decorte-340066185) Twitter (https://twitter.com/decortedr) - - - Growth Mindset podSam Webster Harris explores the psychology of happiness, satisfaction, purpose, and growth through the lens of self-improvement.
