Oh. My. Goodness.?
You tinkerers. I love you!
You’re sooooo close…..
Just a FEW more tweaks….
You're just waiting on this ONE testimonial…
You're getting new headshots as SOON as the weather turns….
You haven’t QUITE settled on a headline/tagline/lawn ornament/the right earrings/banner/logo/website/backsplash/signature/ yet….
Happily-ever-after-perfection is JUST up ahead, you say, I can see it!!!!!!
******So here's the good news........
You're a worker. A doer. A tooth and nail and other hard things kind a human.
You know your LInkedIn Profile could slowly, but dramatically change the attention, love, thought leadership, clients and all around creamy goodness you get from LinkedIn.
The credit, trophy, ribbon and badge are already yours, my friend.
But this Perfection Gremlin (I blame Hollywood and early 80s TV sitcoms) has you under his spell.
Now we just have to redefine the word FINISH.
What if you weren't finished but you posted anyway?
(Because pst, NOBODY is waiting for you to post this........not even your Mom, especially not your Mom!)
Or what if you called me for one long last look at it?
What if you just stopped, suddenly seeing the downward spiral you're riding through the sky of self-loathing?

And then forgot about it for awhile.
How would that feel?
Note: A good plan, violently executed now, is better than a perfect plan next week.
Want a little help? A little validation? A little "OMG yes, you know what I'm talking about" moment?
I'm here.
COMMENTS: What have you been sitting on? Your profile? A post? Your headshot? Just publish it. Today. Dare ya.
