Key Strategy on How to Get Over Perfectionism

30,000 feet in the air as I write this heading home from Minnesota.

Devon’s family has a cabin on a beautiful little lake near Brainerd.

We had a blast but I’m excited to get back to “Hotter n Hell” Texas to sleep in my own bed.

If you can’t tell, I’m stalling to get to today’s message because truthfully…

I have no idea what today’s message is.

When I’m stuck, I just start writing and usually something comes to me when I get into action.

Grrr. Still nothing.

Hmmm…

Okay here’s something.

This email sucks.

But you know what?

I committed to writing a training email every day. Sucky or not, a commitment is a commitment.

A bad training email is better than no training email.

Just like a bad workout is better than no workout and a bad prospecting call is better than no prospecting call.

I used to struggle with perfectionism.

Can you relate?

If so, maybe you need the coaching I had to give myself.

Perfectionism is a lie.

If you’re not taking action because of perfectionism, the REAL truth is…

You’re full of shit.

(Speaking to myself of course)

You can bullshit other people with your “perfectionism” crap but you can’t bullshit me.

Perfectionism was my cover up.

The cover up to my fear.

Fear of looking bad to other people.

Because I cared so much what other people thought, I would sit on my ass and do nothing.

How to Deal with Perfectionism

Thankfully, I got over my perfectionism lie and realized I would never be admired by thousands if I wasn’t willing to look foolish to a few.

If you’re committed to perfection and you haven’t taken action on the thing you know you need to take action on, you’re not really committed to perfection – you’re committed to fear.

Change your commitment and you’ll change your life.

If you want to learn how to control fear rather than have your fear control you, pick up my 7 Secrets book, download it immediately and turn to page 62.
