It’s all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses. I wouldn’t have a successful business if I hadn’t figured out how to make great business decisions even when I was scared of getting it wrong.

This is Part 3 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It’s all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses. I wouldn’t have a successful business if I hadn’t figured out how to believe in myself when there was literally no proof that I could achieve my goals.

info_outline[Part 5 of 5] There are courageous things you need to do to build your business that you might never feel excited about - like pitching yourself as a guest on one of your favourite podcasts or posting on Instagram when you’ve been getting low engagement or publishing your sales page when you’re still working on believing that your product is worth the money.
If you’re only able to do things when you’re in the mood to do them, your business won’t get much further than it is now. But changing that is simple when you know there are only three problems that make perfectionists get in their own way in their business: planning problems, productivity problems and persistence problems.
So far, this series has shared how to solve your planning problems. I’ve taught you how to stop procrasti-planning, what the Power Planning process looks like, how to plan your week when it’s rife with uncertainty and the importance of the Three Month Commitment.
In the final part of the series, I’m sharing how to solve your productivity and persistence problems so you have the full picture when it comes to getting out of your own way.
