Your Perfection is not helping you
Oct 19, 2024 1:19 pm
Hi ,
Digital Economics Dispatch is here for you.
You are not starting things because of your fear of making mistakes.
The perceived failure in your mind impacts you in a big way.
As a creator, you are afraid of making mistakes.
You want everything to be just perfect because your name is at stake.
You have a habit of doing everything with perfectionism.
This simple fear is holding you back.
Fear of failure is widespread among creators and entrepreneurs.
In the Journal of Business Venturing, 33 percent of aspiring entrepreneurs cited fear of failure as the main reason for not starting a business.
As a content creator or digital professional, this can make you a perfectionist, a procrastinator, and reluctant to take risks and try new things.
Every day when you are working on the job, you believe, “Let me be out of this job,” but fear keeps you at bay.
You do not want to try. You do not want to risk.
You do not want to risk your reputation.
You do not want to risk-bearing failure on your head.
You want 100% sure results.
You have so high expectations of yourself that you believe you cannot fulfill them.
Why?
Because they expected you to be a “Superman.” The real you is a “procrastinator, loser, and non-action taker.”
You do not want to see the accurate picture but keep yourself engaged.
You are engaged in meetings in the office.
You are engaged in work.
You are engaged in parties during weekends.
You are engaged in activities with your family.
You do not like yourself.
When you were looking for your first job.
Did you have this attitude about yourself?
Were you perfect?
Were you a “superhuman?”
When did it develop, then?
It developed during your working life. When you started working and continued working for a few years, you developed an image of yourself.
The image of accomplishments.
The image of a go-getter, action-taker, Mr and Miss Perfectionist.
You lived up to your expectations.
The moment you started the journey of the creator, things changed.
Now you think, What happened to me?
Is this the same me?
Is this the same as “,” who was a Superman?
Fear grips you, and you are back to your routine.
A study by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor found that countries with higher levels of fear of failure had lower rates of entrepreneurial activity. [Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. (2021). 2020/2021 Global Report]
You missed many opportunities and faced stagnation in your career and business.
