how do you overcome perfectionism?

Hi y’all, In this week’s goal setting chat, I had the chance to talk to Stephanie Gieseke with Sparkle Rise Thrive. Stephanie is a business coach that helps with process improvement and solving complex business problems to help businesses thrive. She had a lot of great goal setting tips, but one that stood out to me was a common pitfall she sees with perfectionism & goal setting. I can certainly relate to this, but I’m trying to work on seeing progress in any positive change even if it falls short of my big, hairy audacious goal. For those that had

what to do when you don’t reach your goals

Who doesn’t love a fresh start? I love setting a new goal or tackling a project, and part of that desire comes from an innate pull for self-improvement. But what happens when we fall short and how do we keep going? The process of setting the goal usually involves identifying something that will help me be the version of myself I aspire to be. I will typically set a timeline with actionable steps.  But admittedly, I fall short of a lot of goals I set and the disappointment ensues. Y’all may remember my gratitude challenge for myself – “write something

challege = change

It’s tough to be uncomfortable, but it’s in those moments, that we truly grow. There have been plenty of times these past few months that I’m tackling something new and feeling incredibly challenged. Uncharted territory is difficult, but once I emerge from it, I feel accomplished. I’ve stretched a muscle that hasn’t been worked (maybe ever). I’ve never been incredibly active on social media, but with Rightside, I’ve wanted to start building a digital presence. Y’all, let me tell you, I’d be embarrassed by my google search history. Rightside was my first insta story ever – and I had to
