LEVEL UP YOUR SELF-LEADERSHIP: CELEBRATE PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION - THE SELF-LEADER’S MINDSET

Welcome to Episode 326 of the Walking Leader Podcast with your host David Guerra.

Growth does not come from flawless execution, it comes from consistent effort. In this episode of the Walking Leader Podcast, David explores why perfectionism is one of the biggest threats to your self-leadership journey, and how celebrating progress can help you build momentum, confidence, and real results.

Through stories, examples, and reflection prompts, David helps you redefine success, focus on daily improvements, and find motivation in the journey and not just the finish line.

Listen and learn:
- Why perfectionism kills momentum and confidence
- How to replace perfection with progress-focused thinking
- Practical strategies for reflection and daily improvement
- How to build consistency and celebrate growth in yourself and others

Plus, the five journaling prompts to help you reflect on your progress and strengthen your self-leadership mindset:
1. What progress have I made this week that I might have overlooked?
2. When was the last time I held back because I wanted something to be perfect? What did that cost me?
3. How can I reward effort — my own or someone else’s — even when the outcome is not flawless?
4. What would my next step look like if I was not afraid of making a mistake?
5. How will I measure progress, not perfection, in the week ahead?

Remember, perfectionism is a trap, progress is a path. Lead yourself forward, one step at a time. 

 SO, KEEP GOING BEYOND THE GRIND & KEEP GOING BEYOND THE HUSTLE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY TO BE THE WALKING LEADER.

AND TO BE A LEADER WITHOUT EQUAL YOU MUST BREAK FROM THE CROWD!
