Ep 618: The Perfectionist's Guide To Creating A Growth Mindset (best of the podcast)
02/08/2026 | 47 mins.There's one thing that every perfectionist entrepreneur must learn if they want to succeed in business: how to create a growth mindset. This is the secret to being able to get out of your own way and take consistent action to your goals without burning out.
So in this episode I'm doing a deep dive into what the growth mindset is, common misconceptions about the growth mindset as well as the practical steps to create a growth mindset.
This is the episode on perfectionism and the growth mindset that I wish existed when I was struggling to build my business to six figures and wondering why I felt so scared to put myself out there.
If you are finding that overthinking, procrastination, burnout and fear of judgement are making it hard to build your business - this episode is for you.

It's something I've seen time and time again in my own business and I have no doubt you'll be able to relate to what I'm talking about in this episode.
In this best of the podcast episode, I share the aspects of my self-image that had been stopping me from being successful - from struggling to identify myself as an entrepreneur, to seeing myself as a disorganised person who was always late and bad with money.
I also chat about the things I did on a daily basis to reshape my identity and how you can do it too.

And because that's so hard to do consistently, without burning out, we don't do enough marketing and selling to make the sales we want.
In this episode I'm sharing why you want to build your business the unfancy way. And why this doesn't mean you have to come across as unprofessional.
