Girl Makes Fire: Holistic Business Tools for Solopreneurs with Deborah C. Smith

#2 - Taking Imperfect Action

Deborah C. Smith Season 1 Episode 2

As small business owners and solopreneurs, its so easy for us to get stuck in analysis paralysis. It's easy to look at our peers as competitors and feel like we’re not ready to share our work… 

That little voice inside our heads can be hypercritical and we get stuck feeling like we don’t like our images, or our voice doesn’t sound good or the quality of a video is not good enough. We fear the unknown outcome of our efforts and let too much time pass. 

In today's episode, Deborah explores the importance of overcoming those fears and ideas that keep us from moving forward with our creative business ideas and offers concrete tools to use when you're feeling stuck.  

The episode breaks down into three main parts:

- The benefits of taking action even when you don't feel ready
- The importance of consistent action (even if its messy and imperfect)
- Three tools to help you get moving when you know you're stuck due to fear of failure or being seen as "not good enough"

The power of getting into action is something a new business owner just getting started should harness and use to their advantage.

The faster you fail, the faster you learn the better way to do something and the quicker you come into alignment with the correct method for you.

Remember: its about progress, not perfection!
