the messy truth about my "perfect" systems

and mistakes I see many creators make

I spent 8 hours this week talking to business owners.

Every single one had the same core problem…

The problem of perfectionism

They were paralyzed by perfectionism.

One person showed me their 5 offers.

Another had a beautiful website.

Meanwhile, I was selling my courses using just a Notion page 😅

You might be thinking…

"That’s different, I’m not like you. You’re just built different.”

But trust me, I’ve been there.

Almost didn’t launch my course

Because I was scared of being called a scam.

But then someone told me

“Stop gatekeeping your knowledge. You can help so many people.”

That’s when I realized:

My perfectionism wasn’t just hurting my business.

It was preventing other people from finding a solution to their problems.

Think about it like this.

If I wanted my emails to be perfect,

You wouldn’t be reading this right now.

Because I’m typing this email on my phone while on the bus.

And the YouTube video that brought me $2k?

Filmed on a wobbly train to Niagara Falls,

Using just my iPhone.

(The video got less than 200 views, but the right people saw it.)

Here's what I learned from those 8 hours of conversations:

The people making the most money

Aren't the ones with the prettiest systems.

They're the ones who don’t wait for permission.

They care about getting results,

Not obsessing over “perfect” details.

If this inspires you,

I challenge you to take action on ONE thing you’ve been procrastinating this week.

Will check in on you again next week,
