There’s something thing that stands in the way of a coach who wants to build a
fulfilling, successful coaching practice…
Time. Or rather a severe lack of time.
I’ve seen plenty of coaches who have more than enough talent, credibility, skill

Coaches who are driven to make a difference and who are giving it their all in a
highly competitive industry. These are outstanding people who have everything

Unfortunately, they have a mindset about time that gets in their way. It’s an

perfectionism is a character trait that you should be proud of but it’s not.
I’d go so far as to say that perfectionism is procrastination in disguise. You might

your sales pitch perfect before it goes out into the world.
This is a dangerous mistake.
When you hold out for perfection, what you’re really doing is spending valuable
time on something that’s ready to ship. You’re likely going over the same piece of
content or strategy or technique again and again and again, even though you
should have moved on to the next thing on your to-do list.

do the tasks that need to be done so you can build your practice and achieve the
kind of success that you deserve.
So aim for imperfection. Try your best to avoid making mistakes and by all
means, check your work but don’t spend an excessive amount of time doing
