I hadn’t thought to do an episode on how I built my podcast until my friend Alexander James (who I interviewed in Episode 340) started asking for the details. So I thought that I’d record an episode on how I built my podcast to 2 million downloads without following industry best practices.

This episode is about podcasting AND it’s about how you can be successful even when you’re not doing things the same way as everyone else in your industry - no matter what you’re working on. If you feel called to do things your way, this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I interview PGSDer Jenn Baswick all about how overcoming perfectionism allowed her to double her revenue without burning out.

Our most successful PGSDers are business owners who LOVE being productive and yet find themselves struggling to show up fully for their business due to perfectionism. And this was definitely the case for Jenn.

Jenn is a registered dietitian and before she signed up for PGSD, she’d tried everything she could to build her business. She invested in business programs to help her setup her business correctly and market it the right way plus she tried every productivity tool from to-do lists to time blocking to Asana to Notion. And yet her business still wasn’t growing in the way she knew it could…

Even though Jenn ‘knew’ what she needed to do, she wasn’t able to turn her knowledge into business growth - even though she was always busy working.

In today’s episode of The Perfectionism Project, you’ll hear from Jenn and I discuss:

✔ The hidden reason why to-do lists, time blocking, asana and notion didn’t work for Jenn

✔ All the ways overcoming perfectionism has made Jenn more productive

✔ When Jenn realised that overcoming perfectionism was a must for her business

In this episode I’m interviewing my client Arielle DeHaw on overcoming perfectionism and committing to go all in in your business. Arielle coaches gifted coaches and service providers on how to get out of their own way, overcome self-doubt and imposter syndrome, and reach their potential. Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD) helped her overcome perfectionism and learn how to get shit done, and once she had that, everything came together.

We talk about what her journey looked like with getting out of her own way in her business, how Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD) has helped her with that, and specific things she’s learned in the program.

We also discuss one of Arielle’s biggest hesitations when she signed up for PGSD: What if I don’t actually do this and don’t make the most of PGSD? Because she had times before where she felt really hopeful about something she was going to invest in and then she didn’t follow through because of perfectionism. And we talk about how she’s been able to follow through with PGSD even though she was a person who didn’t follow through with programs before, and how that has paid off for her.

If this is a hesitation you can relate to, you’ll find this episode helpful. Tune in today.

Welcome to Part 5 of my 5-part Momentum Series. In this series I’m going to teach you how to create momentum in your business in just six weeks without burning out.

Creating sustainable momentum on your own hasn’t worked. Thanks to perfectionism you’ve been getting in your own way, and your business and sanity has been paying the price.

It’s not because you’re not smart enough to have a successful business (you are).

And it’s not because you’re not capable of being a successful entrepreneur (you are).

It’s simply because you’ve been trying to be perfect instead of simply overcoming perfectionism.

I have something to help…

Today I’m sharing how to create sustainable momentum in just six weeks inside Perfectionists Getting Shit Done.

When you have our simple productivity process for early-stage entrepreneurs that is specifically designed to help you overcome perfectionism and get shit done without burning out…

And you have unlimited personal support, a like-minded community and lifetime access to the program so you can do everything at your own pace…

Creating sustainable momentum just happens naturally. Even if you’re someone who has struggled to show up for themselves and their business in the past.

Welcome to Part 4 of my 5-part Momentum Series. In this series I’m going to teach you how to create momentum in your business in just six weeks without burning out.

The cause of burnout isn’t long work hours, poor work-life balance, demanding clients or rushing to meet a deadline. Being all-in on your business isn’t what causes burn out either.

You can have momentum in your business without burning out even if you’re balancing your business with a full-time job, caring for little ones, a health condition or all of the above.

That’s why today’s episode is all about the hidden cause of burnout.

When you know how burnout actually works, you won’t be scared to create momentum in your business. Even if you’ve got a busy life to keep up with outside of your business.

I haven’t burned out in six years, even though burnout used to be the bane of my existence. And even though I have a successful business and have three little ones to take care of when I’m not working.

I’m going to teach you my secret to never burning out again. All you need to do is hit play.

Welcome to Part 2 of my 5-part Momentum Series. In this series I’m going to teach you how to create momentum in your business in just six weeks without burning out.

And in today’s episode, we are going to be talking about how to stop treating your business like a hobby. I’m going to help you identify if this is you, and this is without any shame or judgement.

And I’m speaking from experience when I share this. I used to treat my business like a hobby and that's all it ever was until I changed my mindset around it. So I really want to help you understand the importance of treating your business like a real business, including how that looks like and what to do so that you can start taking that approach.

Because if you are taking a hobby approach to your business, then you won't actually be able to create the full time business that you want to. It really is such an important mindset shift.

If that sounds like you, this episode is going to be so helpful. All you need to do is hit play.
