Your perfectionism is holding you back - in more ways than one. You don't need another degree or the latest and greatest camera to get started. Waiting for the right set of circumstances is just you letting fear take over your life again, and if you want to manifest your goals, we have to do the work to overcome that fear. 

 

Perfectionism is nothing more than fear of not being good enough. Perfectionism is us trying to control the outcome of any given scenario. We are trying to prove ourselves, and because we are trying to prove ourselves, rather than believing that we are already worthy, we are tying our worthiness to the success of this goal. That isn't going to get us anywhere. To manifest our dream lives, we need to overcome perfectionism. 

 

In this week's episode, we're talking about the #1 strategy to help you overcome perfectionism and manifest your goals. Manifesting from a place of fear isn't going to give you the results you want. So in this episode, we're going to work through a few different scenarios with the best strategy you can use to overcome that habit of perfectionism.
