The Built For Pressure Podcast

Why Your Perfectionism Is Killing Progress (And Feeding Imposter Syndrome)

Perfection isn't what you think it is.

In fact, it's likely the exact thing holding you back.

In this episode, I unpack why high-performing professionals often wear perfection like a badge of honour — but underneath it is fear, ego, and a false standard that’s stopping progress in its tracks.

We’ll break down:

Why perfection is a mask for fear and uncertainty

How chasing the “perfect time” has kept you stuck for years

The five ways perfectionism is quietly sabotaging your growth

Why momentum dies when perfection takes the wheel

The difference between elite standards and toxic expectations

The mindset shift that separates stalled professionals from relentless performers

"If you're waiting until it's perfect, you're also avoiding the version that would teach you the most."

And if you’re tired of being in your own way, we’ve built something to help.

If you want a copy of our Leadership Audit — a 5-minute checklist to recalibrate your performance, reset your standards, and give you a clear edge moving forward, then DM the word AUDIT and I'll send it for free.

Perfect is the pause button. Progress is the play.
