Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up everybody and welcome back to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex and today we're gonna be diving into a mindset killer that's holding way too many people back, chasing perfection. So here's the truth guys, perfection is a myth. The cost of chasing it isn't just wasted time, it's actually wasted opportunities, lost momentum and dreams left on the shelf.

Look, let's talk about why chasing perfection is the quickest way to start your progression and how to break free from that. So first things first guys, perfection delays action. When I launched my first business, I didn't have everything figured out. My branding wasn't perfect, my systems didn't work, but guess what? I took imperfect action anyways. If you're waiting for the perfect time, the perfect product, or the perfect opportunity, you're gonna be waiting forever, okay? Done is always better than perfect. And second, chasing perfection kills momentum. Make sure to check out my YouTube channel,

Momentum is one of the most powerful forces in business, but every time you stop to tweak, overthink, or obsess over the details, you're slowing yourself down, guys. Successful entrepreneurs don't chase perfection, they actually chase progression. Small consistent wins will get you farther

than trying to be perfect at something guys, before it ever hits the market. And look, this is the most important part of this pod right now. Perfection is fear in disguise. Let's be honest here, most people chase perfection because they're really just scared. Scared of failure, scared of judgment, scared of not being good enough.

But here's the thing, you'll never know if you're good enough unless you put yourself out there. So success rewards the bold, not the perfect guys. Bottom line here, chasing perfection is costing you time, money, and opportunity. Start being messy, learn as you go and refine along the way guys. That's how you level up here. So thanks for tuning in to Level Up Podcast. I'm Paul Alex reminding you that progression beats perfection every single time.

You gotta stay bold guys, you gotta stay relentless. And as always, keep leveling up. Thanks for listening up to Level Up Podcast.
