FL 39 – How to beat perfectionism and move forward in your online business

Author: Shane Sams April 14, 2015 Duration: 30:38
In today's podcast we're going to talk about how perfectionism can hold you back from launching your business and start building for the future. People have used perfectionism as an excuse for not getting started for far too long in the world of online business. We love seeing people move forward, and getting over this "excuse" is critical for so many people just to make those first $10 or even $100. You will learn Why the little things might not really matter to your audience. A story of how not being "perfect" can still play out ok. Why you should not make the changes first. Practical ways to overcome perfectionism Why you need to only focus on what you're the very best at.

On today's podcast, we're going to help you stop pursuing perfection and move forward in your online business. SHANE: Welcome to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast where life always comes before work. We're your hosts, Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Join us each week as we teach you how to flip your lifestyle upside-down by selling stuff online. Are you ready for something different? All right, let's get started. What's going on guys? Welcome back to the Flipped Lifestyle podcast. Great to be back with you again this week. We are going to tackle a subject today that is kind of a universal struggle for everybody that gets into online business; we hear so many people talk about this topic that we thought it would be great to just go into a full-blown podcast about it and see if we can help people move forward in their online business and that topic is perfectionism. It's trying to make everything just right, getting everything perfect before you launch. Writing the perfect email before you put it into your auto-responder sequence and how perfectionism is actually really, really bad for your online business and you've got to deal with this if you are ever going to be successful online. But before we do that, Jocelyn is going to read a success story from one of our audience members. JOCELYN: And by 'some people' in that little speech, he means me. SHANE: Jocelyn is the perfectionist; I have never struggled with perfectionism but Jocelyn does. We'll talk about that later. JOCELYN: Okay, so today's success story is from Chris and we actually spoke to Chris not too long ago. He was one of our consulting clients and he says, "S&J, I sold three courses at 97 dollars so far and counting. I can't thank you guys enough.

Hosted by Shane Sams, the Flipped Lifestyle™ Podcast is a conversation about building a business that actually fits around your life, rather than the other way around. It’s born from the real-world experience of Shane and his wife Jocelyn, a family who created a million-dollar income entirely online. They focus on the practical mechanics of selling digital products and running membership sites-essentially, creating valuable information and community that people are willing to pay for. This isn't abstract theory; each episode digs into the systems, mindsets, and sometimes surprising tactics that worked for them as they built a location-independent career. You’ll hear candid discussions on the challenges of shifting from a traditional job to a self-directed online venture, managing family dynamics alongside business growth, and the ongoing work of sustaining success. The aim is to provide actionable insights for anyone feeling stuck in a conventional routine and dreaming of a "flipped" reality where work supports life on their own terms. Tune in for a straightforward, often humorous look at the entrepreneurial journey from a couple who is still actively living it, sharing their lessons so you can chart your own course.
