You stop preparing, take action, and actually apply what you learn. But what if you're afraid? Then start small. Set your alarm for 90 seconds and DO whatever you're scared of doing. After that 90 seconds, you'll never be at the same level of fear. The best way to deal with a perfectionist mindset is with massive action. It's messy, but you have to embrace it and do it anyways. Just remember that no matter what you are doing, it's not going to be great the very first time you do it - so just get it over with! Perfection is NOT a human quality and it's always going to hold you back. Show Highlights [1:45] - Where is Olenka's story? [3:00] - What holds business owners back from taking action?
