    Ep 591: How To Get Shit Done When There's No Deadline

    If you work well under pressure but struggle to take action when there's no deadline, this episode is for you. Most of the tasks that actually grow your business don't come with external pressure. So they get pushed back. Again and again. In this episode, I break down why that happens and what actually needs to change if you want to consistently follow through without relying on last-minute urgency. This isn't about becoming more disciplined. It's about understanding the perfectionist pattern that keeps you stuck - and shifting the way you approach your work so you can take action even when no one is watching. If you're a perfectionist building a business, you want to listen to this episode today. READY FOR MORE?

    Building a business is a big brave thing - especially as a perfectionist.

Laura also shares her story of how PGSD helped to pick her back up after a big fail so she could go on to create wild success. And she gives her best advice for PGSDers on how to connect with the PGSD community and the different ways that can look.

    Ep 585: [Personal Development Series] How To Get Clarity Even When You're Scared of Making The Wrong Decision

    This is Part 4 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses. I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to make great business decisions even when I was scared of getting it wrong. I used to umm and ahh, procrasti-research, procrasti-learn and second guess myself. I wanted to get every decision right because I didn't want to embarrass myself, I didn't want to waste precious time and money and I didn't want to publicly put myself out there if I was only going to change my mind one week later. In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to make great business decisions even when you're scared you'll get it wrong. And the answer isn't just to make an 'imperfect' decision. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.
