Summary

This week we’re diving into one of my favorite mantras: Done is better than perfect.

I was inspired by my decision to relaunch my Master the Gram Challenge. It’s been years since I last did it, and I had to remind myself to push forward without overthinking. I’m breaking down how I got it off the ground and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

In this episode I share:

How to break out of the cycle of overthinking or perfectionism and take action
Why clarity is key and how to make sure your audience knows what your product is, who it's for, and how it helps
The step by step process of setting up operations for your products, including exactly what resources I used to set up the Master The Gram landing page

Highlights include:

00:00 Intro

03:00 Setting up operations

06:00 Setting up marketing

09:30 Taking action is better than perfect

12:00 Tweaking after feedback

16:00 Having an accountability partner

20:00 Mastering self-talk

25:00 Walking through a sales page

33:00 Setting goals for the year

0:20.1	So today we're going to talk about one of my all-top favorite mantras that I've ever heard, which is done is better than perfect. Now, I know y'all have heard this before and I thought top of the year would be the perfect time to revisit that phrase, shall we, and really embrace it and get it into our bodies.

1:30.3	Like, that's how long it's been.
1:32.3	Time just flew by and I realized it was more needed than ever because so many people don't realize
1:38.3	how much of a blessing it can be in your life when you start to share what you're doing and you
1:45.0	start to let people know what's going on in your world, what you offer, who you serve,
