What does that mean? How long have your been thinking of doing something? How many times have you planned it out? How many times have you stopped because it is too overwhelming?

That has been me, and I had even had a complete plan and all these detailed notes and processes, I would not complete any of it.

Perfections or having all the answers to be successful is a myth. Yet, this is one of the most significant components of procrastination.

Now my motto is: LEAN IN! DO IT MESSY!

Lean in means being uncomfortable with the process, and that's okay. However, I am not perfect, and there is no perfect plan, and I am ecstatic about that. Why? I had had some of my most significant accomplishments when I showed up and was uncomfortable.

Let me be honest! Doing it messy is scary; however, you take perfection pressure off you.

This new thinking means a mindset shift of being open to failure. Failure leads to learning, exploring, fine-tuning, changing, or rebuilding. Failure does not lead to giving up, defeat, loss, or underachiever.

So remember, the next time you are contemplating goals or changes.

LEAN IN! DO IT MESSY!
