Perfectionism is killing your progress...
In this episode, Monique de Maio breaks down why small, intentional decisions are the key to real growth. Whether it’s your health, career, or personal goals, making consistent micro-decisions compounds into massive change over time.
Key Takeaways:
Perfectionism leads to procrastination: Stop waiting for the “perfect” time—just start.
Small actions create big results: A 1% improvement every day leads to exponential growth.
Live intentionally, not on autopilot: Your daily habits dictate your future.
Time management is everything: Prioritize what brings you joy and cut out the fluff.
Saying no = making space for yes: Drop non-joyful commitments and free your time.
The secret to success? Stop focusing on how progress looks—and start focusing on how it feels.
