How to Overcome Perfectionism and Get Things Done

Striving to be perfect is something almost all of us struggle with and try to justify in our own lives. Some women openly admit to being a perfectionist.

As women, we need to be cautious of this because if we strive to be “perfect” we could be standing in our own way of achieving our goals.

      Thank you Therese. This blog post is a great one to launch the site with too. In fact if I was a slave to perfectionism I could never have gotten the website finished. Perfectionism is a trap and being able to let go of it really does allow you to achieve your goals. I too look forward to lots of great dialogue with women!!!! Laurie
