The Perfectionism Project Sam Laura Brown

Getting out of your own way in your business will have a profound impact on your children. This is true whether you have young children like me or you have older children or your children haven’t even been born yet.
Tune into this episode to learn what it means to get out of your own way and why I’m so committed to being an example of what’s possible for my children. I also share why being a ‘perfect’ parent isn’t helpful for your children and what to focus on instead.
Plus you’ll hear about the 12 Week Power Planning Challenge that’s happening inside my program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done starting on 1 July so you have the tools and personal support to make getting out of your own way a reality.

There are two reasons I’m sharing a coaching call excerpt with you from my program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done:
Firstly, because if you’re a perfectionist entrepreneur then you need to know about false problems. Our brains create problems to keep us busy and distracted. This way we can subconsciously avoid solving more uncomfortable problems in our business or we get to avoid doing uncomfortable work. In this call you’ll  hear me spot a false problem that my client was having and help her work through what’s really going on for her in her business. 
The second reason I wanted to share this call is because it’s such a great example of the power of being inside Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. We perfectionists love to be self-sufficient in our mindset work. We feel embarrassed for others to see our messy brains and feel like getting help from others is a sign that we aren’t smart enough to do it on our own. But when we’re completely self-sufficient, there are blindspots that never get uncovered because it’s too uncomfortable for our brains to see them.
Being able to get coached on one of our weekly live calls or listen to the 200+ coaching call replays on the PGSD Private Podcast means that you’ll no longer be confused about why you aren’t getting shit done, keep burning yourself out or are struggling to get to your goals. When you’re inside the program you’ll be able to finally see your blindspots, without feeling bad about them, and then solve for what’s really going on. This is the secret to getting out of your own way in your business.
A big thank you to the PGSDer I coached on this call for giving us permission to share it on the podcast.
Perfectionists Getting Shit Done is currently open for enrollment. To find out more and sign up for the program today visit samlaurabrown.com/pgsd.

In this episode, I’m sharing 12 thoughts that helped me create content in a really easy, enjoyable, sustainable way that has proven to be really effective for my perfectionist brain. I wanted to record this in response to a PGSDer who posted about starting a podcast inside my group coaching program Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD). These thoughts will help you create content simply and easily, and they can also be applied to other areas of your business to empower you to show up fully.
Because yes, there might be some technical things that you need to set up when it comes to content creation. But trusting yourself - or what we call self-trust - is the most important ingredient so your perfectionist brain can create high-quality content easily.
I’ve made over $2 million in my business, most of which has come from this podcast, and the times I’ve made the most money and the most impact with people have been when I’m in a high level of self-trust.
Tune in and find out why this is the case for perfectionists, and discover the 12 thoughts that will make content creation easy and effective.

In this episode I’m sharing a detailed behind the scenes look over a $250k launch, because this is such a great example of the advanced work that you can do on releasing your perfectionism handbrake. This will help normalise the ups and downs of launching (regardless of what kind of business you have) and demonstrate the next-level mindset work perfectionists need to do once you’re showing up and putting yourself out there.
Tune in to listen to ‘real-time’ updates that I recorded as we prepared for this launch and through the launch period. I talk through the launch plan and strategy, advanced Power Planning, advanced troubleshooting and more!
What you will hear in this episode is an example of what we’re going to be doing in the PGSD Advanced Coaching Group. In PGSD Advanced, you're going to be working closely with me and a group of other like-minded perfectionist entrepreneurs to get out of your own way in a whole new way. I'm so excited because I haven't actually taught what I do behind the scenes for my mindset work before. I've been demonstrating it through podcast episodes like this launch debrief episode that so many people love, but I haven't actually had a way for you to do that work with me.
We have already done early enrollment for the PGSD Advanced Coaching Group and spots have started filling, but we will announce the official enrollment dates soon. If you are ready for the advanced work, then stay tuned to the podcast. You’ll get all the details so you can decide whether or not it’s for you.
