As creatives we often think perfectionism makes our work better, but it's actually costing us clients, opportunities and genuine connections with our audience. While you're perfecting, polishing, and waiting for everything to be "ready," your ideal clients are working with someone else - someone who showed up, shared their work, and made that human connection. In this episode we explore why "good enough, shared" always beats "perfect, hidden."
Key Moments:- [02:19] The real cost of perfectionism: missing clients while you perfect your work
- [03:57] Why people hire you, not just your skills - the power of authentic connection
- [05:57] The ceramicist story: how perfectionism was blocking growth and visibility
- [08:58] Behind-the-scenes content gets more engagement than polished perfection
- [11:52] This week's experiment: sharing "good enough" instead of perfect
Notable Quotes:
"People don't just hire your skills. They hire you. And perfectionism often hides the very personality and authenticity that makes you memorable and trustworthy."
"Your clients want to work with someone they trust, someone they feel comfortable with, someone who feels real and approachable. And perfectionism actually works against all of those things."
