Welcome, guys and gals to the Mantox podcast. I'm Connor Beaton, the host and founder of Man Talks.

On this week's midweek mini episode, we are going to talk about perfectionism. That is right.

And the reason why we're going to talk about perfectionism is because recently I had a conversation

with somebody who's been in the event space and been

an entrepreneur for two decades. And him and I were talking and he said, you know, he was asking

me about the real talk summit, this, this huge conference that we put on in March. We had Gary Vaynerchuk

speak, Daniel Laporte. We had a whole bunch of Fortune 500 CEOs come and speak. And we had

1,500 people, 1,500 people from

around North America converge onto Vancouver to come and attend this event. And he was

asking me about how we did that because we put the event together within about five months,

which is pretty crazy and a little bit unheard of.

And, you know, he was basically saying, how did you do that?

And how did you accomplish those results?

Because that's like, that's crazy for me.

And I sat with it and my answer kind of surprised me.

I said, I just let go of the need to be perfect.

Normally I would put myself in a position where I wouldn't release a product

or a service or an event or anything until I felt like it was absolutely perfect. And I said with

this, I just let go of the need to be perfect. I knew that there was going to be things that I didn't

know about and I knew that there was going to be things that weren't going to be exceptional or world class and I knew that there was going to be things that were going to fail

and I knew that there were going to be lessons that I was going to learn about my event and there's

going to be lessons to learn about my talk because I spoke before Gary Vaynerchuk
