003: Just Stop and Export: Don't let perfectionism steal your joy

When starting any type of business, the fear of failure and imposter syndrome can be overwhelming. But in creative businesses, when the end product is something you created with your own heart and hands, that fear can be paralyzing and lead to perfectionist tendencies. 

In this week’s episode of the Vid Biz podcast, I am covering why perfectionism is so common in creative businesses and how to overcome it. I’m breaking down: 

• The perfectionism trap that many creatives fall into when they first start their businesses and why;
• One mantra that I use in my own life and business when I am feeling perfectionism take hold;
• How your perfectionism is stealing the joy from your business; 
• The uncomfortable mindset you need to adopt to run a successful creative business. 

About the host: I am Mike Myers, a full-time filmmaker and photographer based in Ohio. The purpose of this podcast is to connect those who might be starting a creative business, or maybe you've been doing it a while, with a community of other like-minded creatives and business owners. Starting and operating a successful and sustainable business is no walk in the park, and I'm here to share my guidance and experience with you.
