Between the interview I did with you and what we talked about on the webinar, you have begun to unwind who you are, what you are really capable of doing.

Next week we have a guest who will walk us through a technology that has helped thousands of people around the world to complete the past, and install a brilliant future.

In preparation for that, I want you to work on your perfectionism, and get some leverage behind a change. We touched on it during the webinar and it deserves a homework focus of it’s own.

Background

I used to have a self-imposed cap on my ability to produce artistic or educational material because of perfectionism. I held this belief that if I worked on it ‘just a little bit longer’ it would be ‘perfect’.

It never was.

More often than not the ideas fell by the wayside, were replaced by newer and shinier ideas that were like little infants needing my love and attention. Meanwhile, the ones that were really good enough to be out in the world, died on the vine.

A shame for so many reasons – not the least of while was they reenforced the ‘I’m not good enough’ belief I have about myself.

After some simple and consistent personal work I was able to ‘move the success line’ in my mind. This enabled me to feel the success for simply completing the project and getting it out – instead of basing the success on whether or not I thought it was perfect. I became obsessed with a concept we’ll talk about called “Speed of Implementation”.

This breakthrough has been responsible for comedy routines, my online business growth, my big email lists I have built in various niches, digital products I am selling online everyday, and even important stuff like accepting myself as ‘good enough’. Oh, and the change it’s made in me as a parent and partner, well, I could talk about that for days.

More important than anything it’s done for me and my customers, it’s modeled to my son that success is based on production, not perfection.

Assignment

In your journal I want you to list three ideas, projects, or relationships in your life that weren’t culminated because you didn’t judge them as perfect.

Take some time with this… I bet you can come up with a dozen. I’m only looking for three.

After you make the list, take each item and write:

• What was the cost of not finishing (including financial, personal, and creative costs)
• What might have happened if you had put it out there instead of waiting
• What message might you have taken on about yourself (probably subconscious) by letting it go instead of putting it out
• How is that message still ‘driving the bus’ in your life?

Answer these questions for each of the 3 ideas, projects, or relationships you listed.

If one of these is really juicy for you, [wlm_firstname], post it on the Facebook group. I tell you this is the kind of thing that festers in the dark recesses of the mind. Exposing it to the light will release it’s power and open the space for creativity and creativity. Plus, I assure you that others in the group will grow from knowing they aren’t alone.

Get some rest and exercise before our next lesson. We are going to really rattle an old habit in the way you talk to clients that is probably costing you a lot of money.
