034: Perfectionism vs Progress: How to Let Go and Move Forward

Letting go and surrendering to the unknown can be scary. We can get so accustomed to staying within our comfort zones that the thought of venturing beyond them can feel intimidating and resistance can show up in a big way.

In this episode of Next Level Influence, Samantha Riley and Melanie Benson speak about perfectionism vs progress: How to let go and move forward. Hitting the next level of business growth is usually masked in fear and confusion which cripples many entrepreneurs to move forward.

Although surrendering to the unknown is terrifying, it can also be incredibly exciting. It can potentially be far more rewarding; it teaches us to push boundaries, experience new opportunities, and see the business from different perspectives.

Letting go of what you know and embracing the unknown transforms your life and business. It creates the space to ponder what needs to happen next, how to do things differently and explore the best way to reach your next level of success.
