Show Notes

Did you know you that you can be a perfectionist and not have a perfect life?

It's true!

If you know the difference between a debit and a credit, you just might be a perfectionist.

This week you'll learn that:

  • The accounting profession is a breeding ground for perfectionism.
  • Perfectionism isn't about arrogance or a lack of humility, it's about the fear of not doing enough or being enough.
  • Whether it shows up in your tendency to procrastinate, your lack of self-confidence or the feeling of burnout, striving for perfection as a female accountant mom is a much bigger issue than you may realize.
  • Taming perfectionism doesn't mean giving up on success or settling for mediocrity.
  • The key in taming perfectionism is understanding how your negative-focused brain has been judging you like a drill sergeant who never has anything nice to say about you because they think that's the way it will motivate you.
  • The best thing you can do is to manage your mind, take back control of the script and write a story that feels better to tell yourself and share with others.
