Perfectionism is killing your career progress: How to break free from it

Your career might be stuck because you’re trying to have perfection instead of progress.

Perfectionism can look like you’re being methodical or doing things properly.
But beyond the surface, the mental bureaucrat, the corporate compliance officer of your mind is obsessed with getting everything just right before you even start.
It sounds like:

  • “There’s a right way to do this.”
  • “I need the full plan first.”
  • “I don’t want to waste time by choosing wrong.”

It feels responsible, but it’s this mental over-optimization that halts progress.
While you’re refining the plan, questioning every option, deciding on the “best” action to make, you’re stuck in a thinking loop.

No career grows solely inside your head and progress doesn’t come from having the perfect plan. It does, however, come from taking imperfect action, learning and adjusting.

* Remove the fixation to do it right before doing it at all.
