In this episode, I’m interviewing PGSDer Olivia Fox, who’s so generous with what she shares. Olivia walks us through the practical ways that she’s used the tools inside PGSD to help her increase her business revenue while having a better work-life balance at the same time.

Olivia experienced an impressive 181% increase in revenue from the previous year, all while enjoying a better work-life balance and a healthier relationship with herself.

This episode gives you an idea of what’s possible when you stop using advice that doesn't work for your perfectionist brain. You may not realise it, but traditional productivity methods like to-do lists and time blocking make you procrastinate, overthink, hold yourself back, and make it harder to move past the fear of judgment.

There are so many subtle ways we can procrastinate. Olivia shares what she does in her power planning each day to stop procrastinating, complete the courageous tasks and finish work at the time she said she would.

If you have courageous tasks you know you need to do right now and you're just not doing them, then this episode is for you. Olivia and I talk about how she gets herself to do those courageous tasks. We discuss how you actually go from being someone who intellectually understands what is required to build a business, to being that person who feels safe enough emotionally to build your business the way you want to.

Additionally, Olivia openly shares how uncomfortable it used to be for her to talk about money, let alone think about how much money she was capable of making and wanted to make. In Olivia’s words “...the growth goal and power planning combined, are like chef's kiss to feel so much more comfortable, and like I'm not saying you're never going to feel awkward about it again. But it does provide a lot of clarity.”

I'm so passionate about giving perfectionist entrepreneurs the tools that help them create a healthy work-life balance, feel safe to show up, be seen and trust themselves throughout their journey, even when things don’t go perfectly.
