Podcast #424: Procrastination is Bullshit!
Perfectionism can hinder progress and keep individuals stuck, whether it's a long-term issue or a specific project that never feels quite right. The key message is that perfectionism is an obstacle that must be overcome by taking immediate action. As a recovering perfectionist, the struggle to move forward is real, but it's essential to push past these self-imposed barriers.

Listeners are encouraged to accept a challenge presented in the latest Monday Motivation podcast episode, which focuses on overcoming perfectionism. The message is urgent, warning that hesitation could lead to missed opportunities and a life of regret. The choice to act now or delay is left to the audience.

The blog post also highlights an upcoming virtual workshop titled "Make Your Success Non-Negotiable," aimed at helping participants achieve their goals. Additionally, a recommended article titled "4 Psychological Tricks to Reach Your Goals" is shared, offering strategies that have proven effective for others. The post concludes with a personal update on the author's progress towards their goals, emphasizing the importance of action and perseverance.

The time to play it safe is over. This community demands action, clarity, and accountability. Set a goal for 2025 that makes your heart race and daringly share your 2024 recap alongside your audacious objective for the new year.

Push beyond limits, wreck old patterns, and build habits that make 2025 your breakout year. Submit your reflections and goals by January 3rd for a chance to win a personalized coaching session, but remember, this challenge is ultimately about claiming your own growth.

OMG I am IN LOVE with this new Goal setting AND tracking software!
I came across this software while searching for something to help a client as she's more "visual" and wanted to SEE her financial progress. I was trying to create an interactive graph, and am SO GLAD I found this instead!

It will help you create your goals, set up an action plan AND you can SEE your progress!
This BADASS BEAST won't replace me lol, but it will HELP YOU hold yourself more accountable!
And the best part? It's ONLY $68 for the year!

Check it out and let me know what you think! 

Cheers!
