Hello, Jen here. This is podcast episode number 244. Hi, how are you?

I am excited to be recording a podcast after being offered just a little bit with my heavy and his recent hip replacement and all that jazz.

So I'm excited to be here and I'm going to be talking today about the difference between if you're especially for those of you who are in business about perfect and just flat out good enough.

Flat out good enough and the reason that I want to chat about this is because the idea of making sure that something is perfect before you put it out into the world, whether it's a brand new Facebook page, whether it is a course that you're offering, whether it has looked at this.

If you're watching me on YouTube, it's been so long since I've recorded a podcast that I just forgot to pull the mic up close to my face. So there's that.

But here I am. Okay, we're going to try this again. So anyway, there are so many women in my coaching group who are stalling on getting their stuff out into the world because they're wanting it to be perfect.

I think that for a lot of people, especially if you're in my age, okay, let's break it all the way down. Okay.

So as a woman who just turned 50, I was raised in an era where work ethic was everything and doing things I was raised in a home we're doing things to perfection was pretty thinking important.

You know, we didn't get average grades. We got all A's there, you know, a couple of these like you, you just you went above and beyond.

You there were we're not shortcuts. And I think that a lot of people who are my ageish, okay, so some of you young and maybe many different.

But we were raised just in a different time where, you know, doing things, we were held to a different standard, maybe a second way to put it where the expectation was really high of us to have things done to a perfect way.

So I think that that's great sometimes, right. But then you become an entrepreneur, you become an entrepreneur. And if it's been ingrained in you to make sure that everything looks a certain way, functions certain way, you're doing things the very best your ability that it's going to be perfect.

Entrepreneurship is the exact opposite of that.

Entrepreneurship is a whole lot of what's good enough.

Entrepreneurship is a whole lot of just tricking yourself to get that thing done and out the door.

Knowing that you can try to perfect it as you go along. Whoa, whoa, I've got stuff happening here on my phone. What's happening. That is a, that's a Marco Polo from my friend group.

Are you guys a Marco Polo? My girlfriends had to convince me to do it. But gosh, we started at the beginning of COVID when we, you know, all the beginning and everything was shut down for those first six weeks, at least in Kansas City it was.

And we couldn't see the other and stuff. So we started Marco Polo wing and I love it. So got five of my closest girlfriends on a Marco Polo and that's the Marco Polo noise.
