EPISODE SHOW NOTES
Do you suffer from perfection? Is it hard to let your manuscript see the light of day because it's not yet "perfect?" Are you striving to be the best beyond all measure? Well, stop it!
In today's episode, we are talking about that insidious condition known as Perfectionism and ways we have been dealing with it and things you can try.
What we cover:
Done is better than perfect
It's a form of procrastination
