Perfectionism
To avoid feeling like a fraud, the Imposter Complex has us hide out in certain behaviours: procrastination, diminishment, comparison, leaky boundaries, people-pleasing, or in your case: PERFECTIONISM.
When you’re mired in perfectionism, you constantly feel you’re not ready to do the next big thing on your list. You might be invited to do it, have people clamoring for it, but all along you suspect that you’re a fraud.
And so, to prove your “worth” you dig in with over-preparing, refining, polishing, perfecting. You try to learn EVERYTHING (and I mean EVERYTHING) about the subject matter lest anyone find you out. It’s never enough. You think about canceling (a LOT). You become anxious and exhausted and it’s all too much.
If you’re a coach, service provider, or entrepreneur, this might show up as not wanting to launch your next offer until it’s “just right,” avoiding speaking engagements because you’re “not ready,” or living in a constant cycle of research and learning instead of just doing the thing.
I have so much more to share with you, so if you’d like to learn more, pop your email in here. I’ll share:
