EPISODE 3

Taking pride in something we're good at and something we're really interested in makes us want it to look the best. We may even have an image in our brain of what the best looks like. But sometimes, it's hard to live up to that image and we end up being a perfectionist. But perfectionism can really hold us back in our business and halt our progress and ability to put out awesome things into the world that can help people. For many years, I used to say that my “perfectionism was the death of me”, and without realizing it started killing my entrepreneurial spirit and almost even my business. In this episode, I share how perfectionism is something that ADHDers struggle with a lot, where it stems from, and 3 simple tips I discovered on how we can manage it.
