[00:00:29] Okay, so I’m simply driving to see my good friend Sophia. We catch up at the moment each three or so weeks and simply do some basically peer teaching, speak about enterprise issues. It’s actually energizing for me, so I’m excited for that. And I simply needed to document an episode about one thing that I coached on inside perfectionist, getting shit completed final week that I feel it was final week.
[00:01:01] Anyway, doesn’t matter. Very lately. And I simply needed to share what the important thing takeaways had been. As a result of if you’re a perfectionist and also you’re constructing a enterprise and you might be somebody who loves private growth, you’re keen on the concept of studying and rising and difficult your self. You wanna have the ability to do arduous issues.
[00:01:23] You wanna enhance your capability for what you’re capable of deal with. Like if that’s you, that is gonna be very related. I additionally thought although, earlier than I share that. That. I needed to speak a bit about how I met Sophia, as a result of making enterprise associates is de facto essential and I feel that it’s simply useful to listen to how different folks do it.
[00:01:44] So for instance, you possibly can clearly do this in a neighborhood, like an internet neighborhood and issues. So PGSD, we now have lots of people who make associates inside that neighborhood, they usually do, I feel we now have a gaggle who nonetheless like years later, are doing Zoom calls collectively. Um, however do both in-person meetups, zoom calls, that form of factor.
[00:02:04] So it’s nice to have that form of place. And in addition there are different methods to satisfy folks as nicely. So for Sophia particularly, what occurred was that I discussed this may’ve been, oh, should have been 2023. I’m fuzzy on the dates, however. Someday round them. I simply talked about on the podcast like I’m truly wanting to satisfy extra people who find themselves at the same stage of enterprise to what I’m and catch up and like do this form of factor.
[00:02:36] And she or he simply dmd me and was like, Hey, I’m truly nearly to maneuver to Brisbane. And I heard you point out on the podcast, so I reached out and Did you wanna have a catch up? And so we ended up having a catch up, like we went to Grilled, which is simply. To Burger Place. I met up and had a lot to speak about and due to share.
[00:02:59] After which additionally I used to be postpartum with the twins at that time, so I feel it was fairly some time earlier than we met up once more. After which only in the near past we’ve began assembly up. Each three weeks and simply form of having that, um, like a distinct kind of format and having or not it’s extra common. ’trigger we’re simply discovering, each time we caught up, we had been going via the identical issues, regardless that the circumstances could be totally different.
[00:03:20] And yeah. So anyway, I needed to share that as nicely as a result of generally, like say for instance, on this case, for the primary yr or so, we caught up perhaps each three or 4 months and now it’s totally different to that and we’re catching up extra usually. Additionally issues evolve and alter and all of that, um, as nicely. However generally you simply want to love, put it out to the universe that you just wanna meet different people who find themselves at the same stage of enterprise to you, after which it might probably simply occur.
[00:03:54] So anyway, I’m comfortable about that. Excited for our catch up and simply, I really like chatting via issues after which like attending to do some teaching as a result of oftentimes what I’m saying, I’m like, oh, notice to. I must additionally implement that after which getting coached and simply being like, oh, that is what I’m fighting for the time being, or like what I’m engaged on and like, are you able to assist me give it some thought in a greater manner or in a different way or like, what am I not seeing?
[00:04:19] Or issues like that. So anyway, that’s what I’m doing at this time and Okay. What I needed to share about, um, the best way to assume, basically the best way to consider difficult your self and rising, however doing that in a. Actually supportive manner and never a manner that’s going to make it truly more durable so that you can develop and study and evolve.
[00:04:47] So I’ll share some specifics. So this PGSDer that I used to be teaching, we now have a variety of totally different sorts of entrepreneurs in this system. It’s, for those who don’t know, it’s actually a productiveness program for perfectionists who’re constructing companies and we deal with. Serving to you get shit completed in an aligned manner.
[00:05:07] Getting out of all of the like shoulds and musts and feeling behind and comparability and disgrace spirals and like most PG sds even have a large worry of. Placing themselves on the market and visibility, that’s a quite common perfectionist factor. Not each perfectionist experiences that, nevertheless it’s quite common. Um, and so for those who’re afraid of being seen and placing your self on the market and all of that, then it may be actually arduous to promote, to advertise your enterprise, to make key selections.
[00:05:34] We do a variety of assist and steerage and, um, give instruments round resolution making planning correctly as a perfectionist with energy planning, resting with out guilt, which is clear relaxation, and notably what I wanna. Speak about that pertains to this episode is having a momentum undertaking. So that’s one thing particular that we train inside.
[00:05:55] Perfectionist, getting shit completed as a technique to assist you to haven’t this like infinite to-do checklist of one million stuff you wanna do, however having a structured, um, undertaking in a manner that works in your mind as an alternative of in opposition to it. So it makes it simpler to get stuff completed as an alternative of like having a very good intention of like.
[00:06:15] I’m gonna launch an electronic mail checklist freebie, after which it simply by no means occurs. Um, or it takes two years for that to occur. However having a structured course of that’s versatile, that’s supportive, that’s in alignment with the objectives that you’ve and the way you’re employed finest. It’s not like. Right here’s this formulation and attempt to match your self to that.
[00:06:34] It’s actually, right here’s how you can create a undertaking for your self that can make it simpler to not simply begin, to, not simply work on, however to additionally full that undertaking. And then you definately do in PGSD, A collection of momentum tasks, basically to construct your enterprise. There’s six week tasks that you just do this transfer your enterprise ahead to your objectives and.
[00:06:55] Our pg SD is love them. Anyway, this pg s yr that I used to be teaching, she is a musician and she or he has a momentum undertaking round doing, I imagine it was two reside reveals or like open mic reveals that she needed to do and to study, oh, perhaps it was only one, one open mic, however to study two new songs to have the ability to do at that open mic, the place she would go.
[00:07:21] It wasn’t somebody asking her to do the open mic. It wasn’t a selected date. It’s capable of occur any Saturday that she will be able to nominate herself to do the open mic. So there’s all of the perfectionism that may give you that when there’s no exterior deadline, when there’s nobody like explicitly asking you to do one thing or telling you want, okay, are you able to come and do that open mic, and might you carry out these two songs and do it on this particular day when it’s truly you self-selecting, which is a very huge piece of entrepreneurship that.
[00:07:54] Numerous perfectionists can actually get in their very own manner with that. So one factor that got here up with that, she was saying that I’ve these two new songs I wanna study, they usually don’t really feel like I’m prepared sufficient. I don’t really feel like I’m prepared sufficient or like they’re polished sufficient for me to carry out them. However I actually wanna like problem myself and never simply do songs which can be already in my consolation zone and I wanna have the ability to do that open mic.
[00:08:20] And I’ve completed them earlier than, however solely when requested. So that is totally different in that sense and a key lesson, and I’ve referred different PGSDers to love listening again to this teaching name, therefore why I needed to speak about it right here. However a key distinction that must be made and that I feel is de facto useful to know as a perfectionist.
[00:08:41] And particularly as I mentioned, for those who’re somebody who loves studying, rising, difficult your self, that what we will do. Is put in all of those circumstances and standards, and I referred to as it on that decision, like readiness standards for I shall be prepared when X, Y, Z, after which we are likely to not truly let ourselves or procrastinate on the factor that may make us prepared in order that we now have an excuse to not be prepared.
[00:09:10] And in order that, particularly you probably have an id of. Somebody who actually desires to have a profitable enterprise, somebody who’s dedicated to that, somebody once more, who loves studying and rising, that it may be actually painful to see your self need to do one thing and be able to do it, after which not do it. That may really feel very jarring in a way when your id is that for those who had been prepared.
[00:09:35] Would do it since you’re somebody who does that. However then for those who truly enable your self to be prepared, it’s gonna be scary to place your self on the market. It’s gonna be unfamiliar. Your mind, even for those who’re very secure in that have, like at an open mic. Very bodily secure, however your mind perceives it as unsafe as a result of it’s unfamiliar.
[00:09:58] Additionally, I feel simply primarily like placing ourselves, separating ourselves from the gang and like placing ourselves in entrance of a crowd is a factor that for many human. Triggers some form of bodily response as like, this isn’t secure, regardless that it truly circumstantially is as secure as you might be just about wherever else.
[00:10:17] So anyway, all of that to say we will create these and I’ve undoubtedly completed this. Create this sort of like readiness standards. I shall be prepared when X, Y, Z. So simply as one other instance, and I talked about this in an episode, I dunno if it’s come out but, however that I discovered myself having this sort of like readiness standards when it got here to identical to exhibiting up and sharing recording episodes, creating content material once more, and being again within the swing of that, that my readiness standards was like.
[00:10:52] And it, it at all times sounds very justified. It was like, I must have a system, like we should be systemized about how we put out the content material. And like, um, for the podcast for instance, regardless that as I used to be creating this, I used to be like, I do know that is me with my perfectionism hand break, but additionally. I nonetheless did it.
[00:11:13] Sorry, simply sharing that so that you just don’t assume I’m like some excellent one that by no means will get in my very own manner. Uh, the hot button is simply noticing it and having the ability to get again out of your personal manner and doing that with kindness and like self assist and all of that. However anyway, being like, okay, we have to have like.
[00:11:30] Six totally different sorts of episodes on the podcast, like an epiphany episode and such as you in all probability have come throughout this sort of factor the place it’s like having totally different classes, um, episodes which can be case research and issues like that. And we have to have like these totally different classes after which I can batch create within the totally different classes.
[00:11:48] And actually what I do know has labored finest is I simply discuss and I naturally will say issues throughout the totally different classes which can be wanted. I naturally promote. I naturally. Am useful and useful in what I’m sharing, however my mind needed this construction to form of like give me an excuse to not do it but, as a result of it felt uncomfortable, regardless that I’m so snug proper now recording this, that it felt uncomfortable to identical to, let.
[00:12:16] The straightforward stuff be sufficient. In order that was only a facet instance of what else it might appear like and the way it lately regarded for me. So for this PGSDer, her standards was that she wanted to study these two new songs and she or he desires to study songs is sweet causes for that. But in addition what we checked out, and that is about like how you can assist your self to do arduous issues with out making it such an enormous deal that.
[00:12:46] You wanna freeze up? Not all perfectionists will go into the freeze response. There’s like combat, flight, freeze, or fawn. If you really feel, uh, like your nervous system is activated and also you go into that, like self-protection and a variety of us as nicely, like we do it in several methods in several circumstances.
[00:13:03] Just like the overseas response is basically like folks pleasing as nicely. So a variety of us are acquainted with that, however a variety of perfectionists in PGSD will extra so go in direction of the freezing facet after which go into like. Productive procrastination and extra of like a purposeful freeze. So we don’t wanna have you ever arrange issues in a manner that places you.
[00:13:26] Right into a purposeful freeze or places you into productive procrastination or nevertheless you wanna be occupied with it. And it’d come up in a different way for you, however we simply wanna be supportive of ourselves whereas additionally inviting ourselves to develop and evolve and turn out to be the one who can run the enterprise that we wanna have.
[00:13:46] So with this, what I mentioned to her, and what I simply wanna share right here is that like, do we now have to have or not it’s new songs? Sure, you possibly can. Study the brand new songs that also could be a part of your momentum undertaking, continue to learn the songs. And we might additionally like have completed teaching round having her truly get these songs to the place they wanted to be.
[00:14:08] What would the plan be for that? Having that be a plan that she might truly observe via on, um, that wasn’t identical to forcing herself to do it as a result of she wasn’t, she was nonetheless studying it, however she wasn’t practising it as a lot as she needed to, if I’m remembering accurately, as a result of. Then she’d be able to do it.
[00:14:27] And that’s scary. So we deny ourselves being prepared, so we now have an excuse to not do it both. Numerous occasions this comes up of like, nicely, I simply haven’t selected my area of interest but, or my avatar but, or I simply haven’t determined the proper goal market, or I simply haven’t selected what the podcast identify can be.
[00:14:42] That is sort of a readiness standards. After which we deny ourselves. From truly assembly that standards as a result of it’s scary to satisfy it as a result of then we now have to do the scary factor. So I mentioned, let’s make it a bit much less scary. The open mic. And we explored like her relationship with open mics, she’d completed them earlier than.
[00:14:59] So like for me, I used to be like, that may be actually scary as a result of I’m not a singer and I haven’t completed an open mic. So even when I used to be singing a tune, I knew again to entrance that that may be like an enormous expertise for me, so to talk. Like a really new expertise. For me. For her, it wasn’t as a lot as that, that she’d completed it earlier than.
[00:15:20] Somebody had requested her to do one and like she had expertise with it, however not self-selecting and never doing the sorts of songs that she was planning on doing. And so we checked out, okay, what if, as an alternative of attempting to simply soar to love what’s the utmost problem as a result of our mind desires to do this in that like all or nothing pondering perfectionists have of like, okay, I would like to love do all of it the best way to the toughest model.
[00:15:44] As a substitute of like, what if I had like a staircase to having the ability to do new songs at an open mic? And so we had a take a look at like, what might this appear like? And simply to share. So you possibly can nonetheless have this sensible instance. It was truly having the ability to be like, couldn’t you simply carry out songs you already know rather well?
[00:16:05] As a result of doing the open mic in a self-selected. Method is a brand new factor for you. Like that’s one thing that feels uncomfortable in all probability when you’re on stage. Or undoubtedly when you’re off stage, such as you’ll be like, okay, that was high quality, nevertheless it’s one thing that looks like an enormous deal already and we don’t wanna have like two sorts of massive deal directly.
[00:16:26] Typically that occurs circumstantially, however on this case, like why add within the further problem if that was simply gonna make you delay Really stepping as much as the problem. So we mentioned let’s do an open mic. Are you able to do one this Saturday or the. Following Saturday, and might we simply have you ever carry out both one new tune?
[00:16:48] There’s additionally choices, so both carry out the brand new songs you’ve discovered to one of the best of your capacity and let or not it’s okay if it’s shitty and to your mind doesn’t sound adequate as a result of in all probability your mind is simply listening to all the issues in it as an alternative of listening to all of the sufficiency and all the pieces that. Is so nice about it.
[00:17:06] So might we simply truly have you ever do the songs however do them shitty once more? It’s not truly shitty. It’s, and I’ve talked about this within the episode I did about publishing imperfect work. It’s not truly shitty. Your perfectionist mind simply thinks so. So until you get used to publishing stuff you assume is shitty.
[00:17:25] You actually received’t have the ability to make progress as a result of your mind is simply, I really like this quote. I heard someplace about like, perfectionism isn’t about being excellent, it’s about like having, like, I’m so butchering, no matter it was, however like having the ability to spot imperfection so a lot better than anybody else. Um, so anyway.
[00:17:46] Your mind, like you’ll simply need to get used to, for those who wanna do any form of quantity of labor or produce any form of physique of labor, it doesn’t matter what trade you’re in, you’ll have to get snug emotionally with publishing work that your mind says is shitty. And that work is definitely oftentimes nice work.
[00:18:05] It’s adequate, it’s truly useful for folks or impactful for the enterprise. However your mind is gonna have all this chatter about it as a result of it actually doesn’t need any form of further alternative for disgrace to return in since you’re already feeling so ashamed, like essentially, that we’re attempting to keep away from as perfectionists, like getting any further disgrace on prime as a result of that feels insufferable to deal with after we’re already so busy shaming ourselves.
[00:18:31] So with that mentioned, being mentioned, you might do it shitty. You possibly can do one new tune, the one which’s extra, uh, like the place you need it to be or like extra within the regular style of songs that you just do, and one, like tried and examined. You possibly can, like, I might wake you up in the course of the night time and you might carry out it.
[00:18:50] A type of songs. You possibly can do two songs. That you’ve got completed earlier than and never do any of the brand new songs. Continue to learn them. However like simply let your self be prepared as a result of proper now you truly are able to do the open mic and we don’t really need that standards of studying two new songs to be hooked up to the open mic as a result of that’s making it arduous to take motion and really do the open mic, and we simply wanna have you ever doing that.
[00:19:16] So we checked out that. One thing I additionally mentioned to her as nicely, in case it’s useful to listen to and so that you can apply to no matter. Context you will have for your enterprise is that oftentimes we simply basically have this standards for like newness of issues. I used to be saying like we might have you ever, and I’ll speak about having a quantity of experiences in a second as a result of that’s actually essential, however we might have you ever do an open mic each week and do the identical songs.
[00:19:44] Each week. And who do we all know Who does that? One of the best bands on the earth. That’s how they do it. Once they go on tour, they don’t. Attempt to study new songs each time they’re performing songs. They know how you can carry out. They’re very snug with, after which they produce other occasions they’re studying songs.
[00:20:02] They’re creating songs, they’re doing all of that. But it surely’s okay to go to an open mic and do the identical songs repeatedly and once more. That is sort of a huge factor within the music. Trade that you are able to do that, and in addition you possibly can problem your self to do new songs and issues like that, however we solely wanna actually have you ever doing that.
[00:20:23] When you’re snug with the open mic and the open mic doesn’t really feel like an enormous deal, then as soon as that’s normalized and that’s simply one thing that you just do and also you’re comfortable to simply self-select and nominate for an open mic, then you definately go to, okay, now I’m gonna study a brand new tune. Or choose one thing that’s not within the style or no matter.
[00:20:43] In order that over time you might be far more shortly attending to the purpose the place you’re at an open mic doing two new songs as an alternative of getting this like perfectionist superb that we now have of like, oh, I wanna have the ability to go to an open mic and carry out new songs proper off the bat. After which it by no means occurs as a result of it’s such an enormous deal to your mind and to your nervous system.
[00:21:04] That you simply then delay studying the songs or like, oh, I simply heard this different new tune. Possibly I ought to study that one as an alternative. There’s so many various ways in which we subtly and convincingly take ourselves off path. Um, it’s like if you’re attempting to determine in your area of interest, this can be a key factor that we assist pg SD is with, as a result of a variety of perfectionists get actually caught on just like the area of interest and the avatar and all of that.
[00:21:26] But it surely’s like for those who determine on what your area of interest is, however then you definately’re like, oh my God, I simply got here throughout this different factor. Or I’m undecided if I ought to phrase it this manner or that manner. And. You simply find yourself form of like so busy on the lookout for the proper factor that you just determine nothing and also you don’t truly then get to evolve as you go since you’re desirous to have the proper factor proper off the bat.
[00:21:48] So there’s like emotional work that should occur with that that we information. PTSD is thru as nicely. Uh, like letting your self emotionally be okay with both having it really feel imperfect or like having truly had made that call as an alternative of simply, ’trigger it’d be like, nicely, when, once I lastly determine Anish, then I’ll have the ability to achieve success.
[00:22:08] That’s a lot extra snug to our, like, principally defending our potential and our self picture and the way we see ourselves. In case you’re somebody who’s. Sensible and succesful. A lot extra snug to be in indecision and be like, if solely they may determine, as an alternative of to truly determine and doubtlessly discover out or threat discovering out that you just had been unsuitable otherwise you didn’t make this good move.
[00:22:31] So anyway, all of that to say that we wanna have you ever have the ability to work your self as much as issues. And I simply wanna wrap up by speaking about having a quantity of experiences as a result of one thing else that I recognized and we talked about on this teaching name was that her plan. Was to do one open mic, and she or he knew that she was gonna do one other momentum undertaking after that one was full, which it almost was.
[00:22:55] She was in just like the fourth week of it, perhaps the fifth week of the sixth, that she was gonna do one other one. However she hadn’t but determined what that may be. And so what I mentioned to her is, if we’re desirous to get you acquainted with doing the open mics. And have that turn out to be regular. What wouldn’t it be like as nicely to do that present upcoming open mic?
[00:23:16] In case you knew that within the subsequent following six weeks you had been gonna do three open mics? It could be each different week. There could be three all collectively after which three weeks off. However you had been gonna do three open mics. You possibly can let or not it’s straightforward by doing songs that you just already know, however what for those who knew you’d, you wouldn’t simply be doing it this one time.
[00:23:34] How does that make you’re feeling? And it’s simply nice to strive that on and be like, how does that make me really feel? And oftentimes having a. Larger quantity of experiences or quantity of creation releases the perfectionist hand break round. This must be excellent as a result of I’m solely doing it as soon as or I’m not doing very a lot of it.
[00:23:55] It additionally provides a lot stress. In case you’re not doing it fairly often, you aren’t having a lot follow, you aren’t having a lot expertise, so it’s a lot more durable to have or not it’s higher. Since you don’t have almost as a lot expertise or follow as for those who had been doing it usually or like that familiarization in your mind and your physique with like what that have is and like normalizing, regulating your nervous system round that and familiarizing with it.
[00:24:20] So if we mentioned, okay, what for those who had been gonna be doing an open mic each different week? And this isn’t such an enormous deal. So that you wanna be noticing for your self and always in PTSD, like pointing this out as a result of it may be arduous to identify for your self when you find yourself making one thing an enormous deal. And it’s not truly an enormous deal, nevertheless it looks like such an enormous deal that that then makes you get in your personal manner.
[00:24:45] And so we wanna have the ability to make one thing that looks like an enormous deal to make it in our brains much less of an enormous deal, as that will increase our want and motivation. And willingness to truly do the factor. As a result of if it looks like there’s quite a bit at stake in our perfectionist brains with the all in nothing theme mindset, we’ll have a tendency in direction of making issues a very huge deal.
[00:25:09] Um, so we wanna like body issues, and that is as nicely how energy planning works, issues like that, that we wanna have issues that really feel like an enormous deal truly not be an enormous deal to your mind. So that you’ve extra willingness, capability, want, functionality to truly do them. In order that was one thing as nicely that we talked about and one thing you could be occupied with.
[00:25:35] I’ve talked about it earlier than with content material creation, how having the next quantity of content material is definitely very useful for, I’d say nearly all perfectionists, that almost all perfectionists, if we take the strategy of like much less. However higher, which is what lots of people train, like have much less content material, however have or not it’s larger high quality.
[00:25:55] For a perfectionist, that places a variety of stress on every bit of content material. That makes it additionally actually arduous to get higher, particularly for those who’re new to creating content material or in your first. Few years of making content material since you’re not getting a lot follow and now it needs to be prime quality and your perfectionist mind is telling you shit that isn’t true about what it means for one thing to be prime quality as a result of there’s a distinction between one thing, a bit of content material that’s actually useful and one thing that your mind perceives as secure and ideal to share.
[00:26:28] Or actually finally secure to share. And we conflate that with like, if it’s excellent, it’s secure as a result of then I received’t be judged, then I received’t decide myself, then I received’t really feel ashamed, et cetera, et cetera. So we actually wanna be taking a extra however worse strategy, which. It’s arduous for many perfectionists to listen to, however we wanna be doing extra however worse till you will have sufficient expertise to do much less however higher and have that not create a variety of stress to have that not make you get in your personal manner.
[00:27:00] To have that not put you right into a freeze, to have that, not have you ever get in your head and overanalyze and do unhelpful issues like that. Like we wanna be in additional however worse. And once more, your perfectionist mind. Will simply be like, that’s all about your personal notion.
