Perfectionism as a Creative Entrepreneur

Perfectionism will Kill You
Most creative people are motivated to make incredible work. We might even strive for perfection.
In this episode, I’m talking about how perfectionism is actually holding you back as a creative entrepreneur. I share a vulnerable story about my own perfectionism, talk openly about real fears you may be having, and some actionable ways you can get past them, and get the most out of your money and keep moving forward. I’m also sharing how the topic of perfectionism relates specifically to the IRS (guess what? The IRS doesn’t ask you to be perfect!), to your estimated quarterly taxes, and why you should stop worrying about being perfect when it comes to your taxes.
