Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable: Why Perfect is the Enemy of Progress

Getting Your Mojo Back – The 6:AM Edition

Part Four: Get Comfy Being Uncomfy

The old me would have waited.

Perfect website.

Perfect comms all pre-planned.

Perfect workshop mapped out down to the last detail.

And sure—it looked good on the outside. But inside? Exhausted. Rigid. Drained before I’d even started the real work.

This time, I did it differently. I sat in the uncomfortable. I pushed play before I felt ready.

Because here’s the truth:

👉 I know I’ll deliver a good workshop no matter what.

👉 I know I can sort the details along the way.

👉 And I know perfection is a moving target that was slowing me down more than helping me.

In business today, you need to be agile. To learn fast. To adapt. To respond to the room, the season, the moment.

And do you know what? Jumping in before I was ready made everything better.

✨ The Female Founders Forward Focused workshop is now more boujee, more celebratory—uplifting the women in the room as much as it’s about doing the work.

✨ The Future-Focused Horse-Based Business workshop is sharper, more tailored—helping in the stable and in the office to truly move the dial.

It’s not perfect. But it’s powerful.

And that’s the point.

Because at the end of the day, taking one step forward is what matters. Just 1% better every day adds up to far more than waiting for perfect ever will.
