Perfectionism is Killing your Progress.
You might be thinking, “That’s not me — I don’t chase perfection.”
Okay. Then let me ask you this:
→ How many unpublished videos are sitting in your TikTok drafts?
→ How many takes did your last Instagram Reel have?
→ How many ideas have you overthought instead of executed?
Sure, we all want to achieve excellence. That’s called having standards.
But high standards mean nothing without action!
The 3 Categories of People
Most people sit in one of three categories:
The ones who don’t try at all. They know nothing will ever be perfect, so they don’t even bother. It works for some people, I guess —but it also leaves most of them lost in the storm.
The perfectionists who never start. They want to produce flawless work but end up procrastinating, self-sabotaging, or making excuses. They don’t apply themselves because they’re scared to fail. They’re scared to be uncomfortable.
The ones who know failure is part of the game. They accept that not every piece of work will be perfect. They fall, they get back up, and they repeat. Some days, they fail more than once. Some weeks, it’s every damn day.
But here’s what I know: failure has a limit. Eventually, you learn. Eventually, you adjust.
Perfectionism? That’s a never-ending trap. It leaves you stuck, chasing an outcome that isn’t even real.
This Newsletter? It’s About Walking the Tightrope.
This journey — your journey — our journey is about getting where you actually want to go. Not in a perfect, fairytale kind of way. But by learning how to walk the tightrope, dodge obstacles, and move forward without being paralyzed by the need to be perfect.
Because perfectionism is possible — but only in the same way that landing a water bottle flip is possible.
You remember? Flip the bottle a hundred times and eventually, it lands. And when it does, you better have the camera rolling.
But expecting to land it on the first try? That’s delusion.
Chasing Perfection is the Fastest Way to Burn Out.
I promise you — the perfect outcome,
The perfect timing,
The perfect product,
The perfect job,
The perfect relationship —
All of it will come…
But chasing it? That’s how you burn out faster than a McDonald’s ice cream machine.
Instead of obsessing over perfection, obsess over the version of yourself you’re working toward.
Because when you lock in on that? The results come anyway.
And before you go — let me ask you one last thing:
Are you thinking about the perfect outcome right now?
Stop thinking. Stop waiting.
Take the step.
I’ll leave this here…
