How to kill perfectionism

I have found that perfectionism and procrastination are two sides of the same coin. They are, in fact, twins. We frequently delay in tackling a task, we say, because we want to make sure that we doing everything perfectly. However, deep down inside, we have to come to terms with our own self-doubts and lack of confidence.

Think about whether you hesitate when it comes to something you know that you’re good at. When we excel at an activity, we jump right in. If the activity is something that plays to our strengths, there is no reluctance to start. To overcome your hesitation, you first need to acknowledge your fears and face them openly. Then you can dispel them as you take bold, massive action toward your dreams.

How to let go of perfectionism

Letting go of perfectionism can be difficult. What you need is a goal that is too big to give up on. Once you have a goal you really want to achieve and are motivated to work toward, you can stop perfectionism and start moving forward.

Begin your online business with the equipment and knowledge you have now. As you work you will understand what you need, and then those tools and knowledge will become available. It is normal to be nervous as you undertake this new enterprise. It is only by stepping out of your comfort zone that you will be able to enter this exciting new one. You can make things happen and start to see your goals get nearer and nearer with each step you take.

How to beat perfectionism

Give it a knockout punch. The death blow to perfectionism is taking action. Start your business now. You don’t need to be an expert to start. You don’t need to be a marathoner to take the first step on your journey. Napoleon Hill, the famous author of the all time best-seller “Think and Grow Rich” said it succinctly “Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.”

Everyone has to start somewhere. One good example is a heart surgeon. I bet the now-esteemed cardiologist was a little bit hesitant when she did her first quadruple bypass operation. But she had confidence in her training and knew that the only way she would develop her skills and build confidence was to start doing it. And if you needed her in an emergency, you wouldn’t be worried about what her GPA was in medical school.

Examine your passions. What do you truly want to achieve in your lifetime? That may be just the place for you to begin your new business. Of course it is usually beneficial to have a record of achievement in some area – in academics, in athletics, in service to others, or in the arts – because that indicates that you have a history of discipline towards reaching your goals. But you definitely don’t need to be an expert business person before you start to grow your business.

This is the point where I can help you. I can give you the guidance and tools so that instead of procrastinating, you can get moving now toward business success. Never forget: perfectionism is the enemy of all you hope to accomplish.
