    Ep 614: How I Decide What To Do With My Business Time

    If you want to see behind the scenes of me building my business as a perfectionist entrepreneur, you're going to love this.  I recently started a business vlog series on Youtube called Making My Next Million where I'm documenting exactly that. It's a very raw and real look at the ups and downs of building a business when you have a perfectionist brain. My goal is that these vlogs inspire you, educate you and help keep you company as you build your business.  Today I'm sharing the audio from one of my most recent business vlogs. In this episode you'll hear me coach myself to figure out my Needle Movers and decide what to do with my business time. I also share how I overcame the resistance that had been showing up for me when it came to returning to Youtube. If you're a perfectionist and you're building a business, you want to listen to this episode today. WANT MORE?

    Listen in as I coach PGSDer Kristen Cain (@kristencainstyle on Instagram) out of overwhelm and into clarity. Kristen requested coaching because she was feeling overwhelmed with all of the options she had for her business. She was able to figure out what to focus on next to build her business, her pricing, how to package her services and more. This episode is such a great example of one of the many ways that the PGSD coaching calls enable you to get out of your own way in your business. Thank you Kristen for giving me permission to share this call on the podcast. Note: This episode was originally published in July 2021. I'm sharing it again because it's still incredibly helpful to hear today. Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (PGSD) is now open for enrollment but doors close on Wednesday, 24 June at 11:59pm EDT.
