As top-performing female entrepreneurs with high standards, there’s one common behavior I see in my clients, my team, and myself: the urge to be perfect.
Many of us have the thought that our past success came from producing perfect results. Once we have this thought, it starts a perfectionist cycle. We pressure ourselves to never make any mistakes.
