Are you struggling with perfectionism? Join the club! In this episode I hope we can all learn to embrace “done is better than perfect”. I’ll share a story about a retreat I recently went on with a few entrepreneurial friends that has inspired me to shift my mindset.
What if doing less was actually better? What if the tasks we needed to do for our business were easy?
Related to this, in Wear Wag Repeat Society last month we were talking about work/life balance. I asked how everyone would spend extra free time if they had it. I’d love to hear about your answer, and I’ll share mine in this episode.

How Perfectionism is Slowing You Down (in a bad way!)
Recently, I was discussing the concept of work-life balance and what we would do if we had more free time. It got me thinking, how simple can we make things? What can we get away with? And could less actually be better?!
For example, the other day I was working on my new canine enrichment activity pack mini-course. I was adding all sorts of elements like videos, step-by-step guides, captions, transcripts, and even designing thumbnails in Canva. But then I came across a successful entrepreneur who sells one of her workshops with just a recorded video, no editing, no transcript to download, and no slides. And you know what? People still buy it and find great value in it!
It made me realize that maybe I’m putting in more effort than necessary.
Could I possibly get away with less? Could I get this helpful information and education out to people sooner? Could I start generating sales faster? Now, don’t get me wrong, I would never put out something that I’m not proud of. But I am considering if I could simplify things without compromising quality.
I’m also trying to bring this new mindset to my blog. I used to spend way too long finding the perfect keywords and writing super long blog posts. But now, I’m thinking, what if I just go for it? What if I do my best within a time constraint of maybe 2-3 hours, hit publish, and then go on with my day?
It’s all about finding that balance between doing enough and striving for perfection. Have you ever thought about what you could get away with while still delivering value? And what you would do with your new-found free time? I want to hear about it!
