This is Part 2 of my 5-Part podcast series for perfectionist entrepreneurs. It's all about why personal development is the secret to building your business and my simple personal development process that works for perfectionists who are building businesses.

I wouldn't have a successful business if I hadn't figured out how to put myself out there even when I was terrified of getting laughed at. I was never the person who didn't care what others thought about me. I cared deeply. So much so that it made me get in my own way and struggle to market my business (or even offer anything for sale).

In today's episode, I'm sharing the simple personal development work that my clients and I have done to feel safe to put yourself out there - even when your friends, family and colleagues can see your social media account. And the answer isn't to stop caring what other people think. That doesn't work for perfectionists! So instead, I'm sharing a simple and practical approach that does - as well as some personal stories that I know you'll be able to relate to.

If you're a perfectionist and you're building a business, you want to listen to this episode today.
