Overcoming Perfectionism in Your Creative Business
Perfectionism might feel like a commitment to quality, but for many creatives, it’s actually a form of fear. That “almost ready” project sitting in your drafts? It’s likely delayed by the belief that it’s not perfect enough to publish.
We dig into why perfectionism is the biggest threat to your creative business and how to reframe it so you can take bold, imperfect action. With strategies like the “time limit mindset,” small momentum-building actions, and a simple launch mindset shift, you’ll be ready to let go of the need to get it just right and start showing up as you are. Your work deserves to be seen, not stuck in perfectionist limbo.
