Perfectionism isn’t a standard - It’s an excuse

Let’s cut straight through the fluff:

You’re not a perfectionist.
You’re scared of failing.

Perfectionism isn’t about high standards.
It’s about fear. Fear of criticism, rejection, embarrassment, or looking stupid.

You dress up that fear with fancy talk:

• “I’ll ship when it’s ready.”

• “I don’t want to compromise quality.”

• “I just have high standards.”

But really?
You’re just protecting your ego.

And it’s costing you momentum, money, and opportunities every single day.

Perfectionism Isn’t Excellence - It’s Paralysis

Here’s the harsh truth:

Perfectionism isn’t a virtue.
It’s self-sabotage in disguise.

You tell yourself you’re “making it better,” but here’s what you’re actually doing:

• Avoiding criticism

• Dodging judgment

• Delaying discomfort

And the result? You get nothing done.

Meanwhile, the person who’s brave enough to ship something imperfect is building an audience, getting feedback, making sales, and moving forward.

Perfectionism protects your ego but destroys your future.

Why You Really Haven’t Shipped Yet

You say things like:

• “I just need a better logo.”

• “My website needs one more revision.”

• “I’m still tweaking the copy.”

But let’s get real:

You’re hiding behind perfection because you’re terrified your first try won’t be good enough.

Spoiler: It probably won’t be.

And guess what? It doesn’t matter.
Because your tenth try will crush your first - but only if you get to number one first.

Perfectionism doesn’t help you win.
Shipping repeatedly helps you win.
