Do you ever feel like you're always busy working, but at the end of the week, you're left wondering where all the time went? It's time to take control of your productivity and work smarter, not harder.
When you find yourself constantly working but not seeing much progress towards your goals, it's likely that you're not managing your time and productivity effectively. With strategic tweaks and adjustments along the way, you can steadily work towards achieving your goal of making $100k.
As a perfectionist entrepreneur, you need a different approach to productivity than everyone else. Perfectionism is a strategy to avoid shame. It makes us (1) overthink, (2) procrastinate, (3) burn out, (4) have an all-or-nothing mindset and (5) fear judgement.
In this episode I explore the five signs of perfectionism and how they can impact your productivity. Whether you tend to overthink, procrastinate, burnout, have an all-or-nothing mindset, or fear judgement, this episode will provide you with practical strategies to help you overcome these obstacles and make progress towards your goals.
What works for others may not work for you, and you need a productivity approach that takes your unique personality traits and work habits into account.
The truth is, nobody has taught you the productivity rules that apply to perfectionists. That's why I'm excited to announce that enrollment for my group coaching program, Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD), will open on 12 June 2023.
By embracing a personalised productivity system that meets your specific needs and preferences, you can take control of your time, work more efficiently, and achieve your business goals without sacrificing your well-being.
