This is Part 3 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to believe in myself when there was literally no proof that I could achieve my goals. I was quiet, I was shy, I was scared of putting myself out there and no one expected me to leave the corporate path I had started down. I'd been successful in my studies but there was no evidence that I'd ever be able to make a full-time income from my business - and yet I've been doing that for 6 years now.

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to believe in yourself even when you're scared of failing. And the answer isn't to out-work your self-doubt. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

This is Part 2 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to put myself out there even when I was terrified of getting laughed at. I was never the person who didn't care what others thought about me. I cared deeply. So much so that it made me get in my own way and struggle to market my business (or even offer anything for sale).

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to feel safe to put yourself out there - even when your friends, family and colleagues can see your social media account. And the answer isn't to stop caring what other people think. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

As an entrepreneur, you are creating something that didn't exist before. Which means you're creative - whether you want to admit it or not. So what should your creative process look like? And what if it doesn't look like everyone else's? That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

In this episode, I'm sharing what I've learned about creativity from more than 10 years in business and how I've leaned into my Connected Creative Process to create my best work. I share the specifics of my Connected Creating Process and what's happened when I haven't let myself follow what naturally works for me. I also chat about why I've stopped trying to have a neat and tidy creative process and why you don't need one either.

This year I didn't get the 'fresh start' to the year that I'd hoped for. In case you didn't either, I'm sharing a concept called New Year Delay and how to overcome a bad start to the new year. Whether your New Year Delay lasts a week, a month or a whole quarter - this episode will stop you feeling shit about it and will teach you what to focus on (and how to think) so that you can end up exactly where you want to be regardless of the way the year started.

If you have a limited amount of time each week to work on your business, what's the most productive thing to do with your time? And how do you avoid feeling so much pressure to pick the right thing that it shuts you down completely? That's what I'm talking about in today's episode.

I work a limited business time each week and so do the majority of my clients. When this is the case, task selection is more important than ever. But it's got to be done in a way that doesn't make you freeze or have you jumping frantically from one task to the next.

Tune in to hear how my clients and I think about this so we can make the most of the limited time that we have. If you're a perfectionist and you're building a business, you want to listen to this episode today.
