If you don’t know anything is wrong, how can you change?
One of my favorite quotes from Maya Angelou is “Do the best you can until you know better. When you know better, do better.” I have taken that to heart in so many ways in my business and as a coach. I have stopped focusing on perfection so much and focused on taking imperfect actions.
For example, I took imperfect action this past week when I launched The Visibility Podcast! (The first episode came out last Thursday!) I kept thinking that I would launch a podcast someday, but a friend inspired me to do it now! I had a lot of things ready to go behind the scenes, but it was still a lot of work to get it ready for launch.
I had to fight every doubt in my head that was focused on the things that weren’t perfect and instead focus on what was right. The important thing was to get it out into the world, not that it was perfect. I share this with you because there are still moments when I do something new that those same doubts that kept me hidden in the past, will show up once again. The difference is that this time I didn’t hold myself back, I made a choice to do it even with all the doubts and fears.
Where are you still letting perfection or the doubts in your head hold you back from doing something that you want to do?
You can make the choice to take an imperfect action that moves you forward!
Listen to The Visibility Factor Podcast!
Did you hear that The Visibility Factor is a podcast now too? It comes out every Thursday! It is a show where business leaders and anyone seeking ways to raise their visibility can come to learn how to take action in their own authentic way! I would love it if you could listen to it! If you feel called to subscribe and rate and review it that would be a bonus!:)
