Do you fall into the "Perfection Trap"?
A belief that you need to unlearn is “You need to be perfect to succeed”
“Perfect” can take many forms socially...
“I need to say something really profound in this meeting.” “I could say that thing, but it’s not interesting enough.” “I could ask this question, but it might sound silly.”
"Perfect" is that imaginary bar that you need to jump over to give yourself permission to speak up.
It's a trap!
This belief can hold you back because it makes it harder to take action and practice.
Why is this important?
The more you practice, the better you get.
If you can unlearn this belief, you'll take more action and unlock opportunities in your professional and personal life.
I cover how you can unlearn this belief on the newest episode of the BMC podcast! NEXT STEP:
