You spend hours polishing a deliverable nobody notices. You build a beautiful AI-powered strategy and never implement a single piece of it. You refuse to start because you can't do it "right."
In this episode, I break down how perfectionism quietly steals your time, masks deeper fears, and keeps your best work trapped in draft mode, plus the exact tools I use to release the pressure and start shipping work that actually moves deals forward.
🎯 In this episode, I riff on:
↠The sneaky ways perfectionism shows up in high-performing sellers
↠Why "I made the strategy but never executed it" is the most expensive form of procrastination
↠How perfectionism becomes the perfect mask for ADHD and neurospicy brains
↠The Scrum concept of "gold plating" and how AEs do it daily with POVs and outreach
↠Brené Brown's 20-ton armor and what perfectionism is really protecting you from
↠The "if I can't do it perfectly, I won't do it at all" trap that keeps your pipeline stuck
↠Why aiming for B-minus work is the most underrated productivity hack in sales
↠The offensive truth: nobody actually notices the difference between your A+ and your B-
↠Why your B-minus is still higher than most people's standard
↠Time boxing 2.0: deciding in advance exactly how long a task gets before you start
↠Why traditional time boxing fails and what to do instead
↠The visual timer trick that helps ADHD brains finally feel time passing
↠How to identify the fear underneath your perfectionism (hint: it's usually fraud-fear)
↠The mantra that changes everything: done is better than perfect
↠Passive action vs. massive action and why shipping imperfect work is the only way to get real data
↠Why high achievers confuse polish with progress
