In this episode I share the truth about perfectionism.

Get excited because this is tiny leaps.

Big changes. being changed. Welcome to another episode of Tiny Leaps, big changes where I share research-backed strategies

you can use to get more out of your life. My name is Greg Klunis and being a perfectionist is often seen as either

like a really good thing or something that holds you back. And it really comes down to like who you ask and what their view of the word is.

The idea of being a perfectionist can be seen as this like unrelenting drive for creating the best thing, putting the best

thing out an attention to detail that is unmatched caring about things.

It can be spun that way, or it can be viewed as not putting things out,

as worrying about details that don't matter,

as holding yourself back for some reason.

Now from my perspective, if I were to give my opinion on this, it's kind of both.

And the truth is you need both sides of it in order to make things happen consistently.

You need both. You need both the perfectionist brain, the I want to work hard and create something good brain but you also need

the ability to ship to put things out and be willing to face the criticism and the inevitable errors and mistakes that you'll only find

once it's out in the world.

Now, I don't personally identify as a perfectionist, but I know that you might.

And that's why I want to talk about this today, because even if you do,

or maybe someone you love does,

we need to do a better job understanding what perfectionism is and how to actually use it in our day-to-day lives.

And before we start, I want to give a quick shout out to Jeffrey Robinson.

He's a listener of the show I spoke to recently, and he shared the initial insight,

the initial thought that led to this episode.
