In this powerful episode of The Mission of Greatness podcast, we dive into the concept of choosing purpose over perfection and why the relentless pursuit of perfection often holds us back. As a seasoned psychologist, I break down the myth of perfection, explain how it leads to self-doubt and procrastination, and explain why embracing the process is the real key to fulfillment.

We’ll explore:
The psychology behind perfectionism and how it limits growth.
How different generations define purpose, success, and fulfillment
Two inspiring real-life stories of individuals who embraced progress over perfection—Lisa, the baker who turned her passion into a thriving business, and David, the entrepreneur who failed his way to success.
Groundbreaking research proving why focusing on purpose leads to greater achievement and well-being.
Practical strategies to overcome perfectionism and take action toward your goals.

It’s time to stop waiting for the “perfect moment” and start living with intention.

Perfection is a myth. Purpose is real. Stop waiting for the"perfect" time, plan, or version of yourself.Start where you are, with what you have, and commit to the process.
