Lots of ideas, lots of action, nothing finished. But there's nothing wrong with you!

As perfectionists, we tend to do one of two things when it comes to business decisions. We either (1) tie our own hands behind our back and refuse to change the decision for fear of being flaky or (2) we change our mind constantly and never follow through long enough to see results. To grow your business you need to be able to update your decisions. In this episode, I'm walking you through my exact process for updating decisions without losing self-trust or being flaky - as well as three decisions I've recently made in my own business.
