In this episode of the "She's Making an Impact" podcast, Terra shares an inspiring and practical message on overcoming perfectionism and embracing the principle that "done is better than perfect."  As we start a new year, let's focus on obedience to God's calling, take action on goals, and trust Him with the results. It's time for us to stop spinning our wheels and start making an impact by releasing our gifts and talents to serve others! Episode highlights include:   Done is Better Than Perfect The importance of finishing tasks and releasing them rather than endlessly tweaking and striving for unattainable perfection is emphasized. Progress is better than stagnation. Obedience Over Fear Fear of the results often holds us back, but it's essential to trust God with the outcomes of our efforts and focus on being obedient to His calling. God's Desires in Our Hearts Psalm 37:4 shows how delighting in the Lord aligns our desires with His will, empowering us to act in faith and confidence. Taking Action on Goals Real-life examples highlight the challenges of perfectionism, such as hesitating to submit a resume or launch a project, and the importance of pushing past those mental blocks to move forward. Using Your God-Given GiftsThe encouragement is clear: trust that the skills and talents God has placed in you are sufficient to make a meaningful difference when shared with others. ___________________________________________________________ Connect with Terra:  If you want to talk business, go to helpmecoachnow.com and set up a time to chat about your next best steps in this journey.  For prayer requests or to discuss your relationship with Christ, text Terra at 865-309-4737. ___________________________________________________________ Ready for more?

Have you ever found yourself turning a straightforward task into a lot of unnecessary steps? Overcomplication sneaks into our lives more often than we realize, sapping our time, energy, and peace of mind. Ways We Make Simple Complicated Overthinking: Doubting decisions, analyzing every potential outcome, or seeking perfection. Adding Unnecessary Steps: Turning a direct path into a winding road by over-planning or layering extra processes. Fear of Saying No: Accepting too many commitments or responsibilities, complicating schedules and priorities. Procrastination Masquerading as Preparation: Spending excessive time gathering information or resources instead of starting. How to Stop Making Simple Complicated Adopt a Minimalist Mindset: Focus on essentials and strip away the unnecessary Set Clear Boundaries: Learn to say no politely but firmly. Limit Overthinking with a Time Limit: Give yourself a specific amount of time to make decisions or complete tasks. Practice 'Done is Better Than Perfect': Accept good enough instead of striving for unattainable perfection. Simplify Communication: Be direct and clear in your interactions. Reflect and Streamline: Regularly evaluate tasks or processes to eliminate inefficiencies. Value simplicity as a way to reduce stress and increase productivity. Start small. Choose one task or decision today, and ask yourself, 'How can I make this simpler?' You might be surprised how much lighter life feels when you stop making simple complicated. I'm Nicole L.

The question is this: if the Titanic crew had performed all the safety drills they were supposed to, if there had been enough lifeboats and if the passengers had been drilled in lifeboat procedures, would so many have perished when the ship went down? Some people have noted that a routine safety drill on the fateful Sunday morning was not held. This has been attributed to several factors including high winds and the morning church service on the ship. Even with that, however, there was only lifeboat accommodation for about half of the passengers and crew onboard. Was the ship thought to be so well-designed that safety preparedness could be relaxed? Probably not. But the safety regulations for passenger ships that we have today came in part out of the hard lessons of the sinking of the Titanic. In fact, the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) was established in 1914 following the disaster, and mandated, among other things, that ships carry sufficient lifeboats for everyone onboard. So what's relevant in this story for us? If you've ever worked hard to make your piece bullet-proof or crash-proof or otherwise “unsinkable,” you may have been ignoring some of the important preparation to help not only prevent performance disaster, but to recover from it. When you're preparing to play a piece, expecting that mistakes will happen and learning to recover from them is the most important part of your practice. You can hope that you won't make any mistakes, but if you haven't prepared for how to meet them if they happen, you're playing a dangerous game. The icebergs are there and you may or may not hit them. But just as some emergency preparedness may have saved lives aboard the Titanic, your harp emergency preparedness could save your performance too. On today's show, we'll explore the myths around mistakes, perfection, excellence and safe performance preparation procedures. There's a lot for you to learn in this episode, so grab your cup of coffee and let's get started. And - safety first! - don't forget to buckle your seat belt!

Just when you think everything is going perfect, you find out there are still some issues you need to work on. But, that's why we call this podcast Better Than Perfect, instead of perfect. You can't have a perfect relationship, but you can always have a better one. In this episode, we talk about our mistakes and what we learned.

As we do what we can to accomplish our most important goals, it's easy to get overwhelmed and scared for a variety of reasons.  Our fear often keeps us stuck in procrastination.  On this episode, I talk about some of what gets in our way and how we can specifically let go of perfectionism…thus allowing us to take courageous action, have more freedom, and create the kind of success we truly want.   Resources: We're All in This Together (book), by Mike Robbins Mike Robbins Website Mike Robbins Blog Mike Robbins Podcast Mike Robbins on LinkedIn Mike Robbins on Facebook Mike Robbins on X Mike Robbins on Instagram Mike Robbins on TikTok Mike Robbins YouTube Channel

Bec and Zoe recap on the interview the week prior, the impact it's had on them as individuals, and how they both drew different ideas from their guest and implement changes in the endeavour to change it up, or give it a go. Then there is always a ramble involved (usually by Bec) where they chat about what's been happening and how they have or haven't managed their current juggle, in their attempt to not be super, but a woman.  Rebecca Bull – Creator / Executive Producer / Co-Host Zoe Weir – Co-Creator / Co – Host Sophie Jackson – Producer  Social Media – Naughty Nancy Social Media Agency Website / Brand Design – Foster Creative Video Editor – Luke MorganSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's better than perfection? Celebrating the journey of humble people who grow, repair relationships, and model repentance! 

In this continuation of our two-part series, Neil and Sam share ten years of brutally honest lawyer advice, offering insights into essential strategies for running a law firm. They cover practical tips for overcoming perfectionism, the value of mentorship, and how to effectively use modern tools. They also touch on navigating the challenges of the first year, providing actionable advice for long-term success. Whether you're starting or looking to enhance your practice, this episode is packed with valuable guidance to help you thrive.Key Takeaways from Neil and Sam:Surviving the First Year: What They Don't Teach You in Law School: New lawyers face unexpected challenges and must realize high earnings come later. Starting a firm is easy, but growth is tough. Focus on learning, gaining experience, and networking over branding. Seek mentorship, embrace the learning curve, and view mistakes as valuable lessons.The Downside of Perfectionism: Perfectionism can hinder progress. Aim for excellence by prioritizing tasks and setting realistic goals. View mistakes as opportunities and delegate to avoid burnout. Sam is currently writing a book, "Done is Better Than Perfect," that explores these concepts.The Unseen Benefits of Mentorship: Mentorship offers invaluable guidance and networking for growth. Seek mentors who inspire and challenge you, and be open to their advice. Sharing knowledge as a mentor enhances your skills and benefits others. These relationships can significantly impact your career and offer long-term rewards.The Importance of Continuous Learning: Continuous learning is crucial in law. Stay updated through continuing legal education (CLE), workshops, and conferences, and embrace new technologies. Networking at these events is invaluable, and investing in education boosts both career and personal growth. Sam and his team at My Legal Academy demonstrate that staying ahead opens doors to new opportunities. "The first thing you have to recognize is that the first year is going to be tough. It's not going to be easy, and you're not going to make a lot of money." — Neil Tyra"The value of having a consistent mentor is somebody who cares about you, who helps you and guides you along the path of where you want to go." — Sam MollaeiJoin Lawyer Club FREE, where lawyers and law firm owners come to reclaim control of their firms and their lives!

Tom loves to innovate, it's who he is, and for him, its an unquenchable thrist. The pressure he puts on himself to create something new, is sometimes unhealthy. At the same time, Tom will also tell you that if he would've understood how hard it was going to be to turn Salt into what it is today, he wouldn't have done it.  Innovation from an emotional and psychological perspective, can be in a word--brutal. Creation is a terrifying task! So... how does one cope, and continue to stay productive? Does Tom have a method to overcome the emotional and psychological challenges that so many (if not all) creative thinkers and innovators face? He sure does!  Listen NOW to find out what his methods are. Here's a hint, these things are really simple!   Get started using Salt in just a few minutes!

It's easy to put so much pressure on ourselves when trying to get something perfect. Sometimes the desire to get something exactly right can lead to not finishing at all. Sometimes striving for finished is better than striving for perfection. Don't half-ass it, but get it done.

If we wait around until "the time is perfect" or "the draft is done" or we get "the perfect take", we'll never try out for that team or ask that girl/guy out or make that movie or send in a self-tape audition... or release that podcast episode or write that book. So let this week be a reminder to you that if you are just in the game, you can pat yourself on the back for giving it a whirl. Could you be better? Sure. Do you want to strive to be better? Absolutely. But maybe right now your best is just wherever you are at the moment. One thing I've learned as I've gotten older: beating myself up is not as constructive as I thought it was... so go easy on yourself, get some rest, and then get back in the game with higher intensity when you can. In the meantime, don't throw out everything you've worked for with last week's garbage and trash yourself for not being perfect. No one is perfect. There's no such thing.10,000 NOs podcast is now in it's 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt's 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond).

If you've ever skipped a workout because you couldn't do the entire plan that you wanted to, re-filmed a video for your business a hundred times without ever even posting it, or spent hours on an email, hemming and hawing, re-writing, editing, tweaking - this episode is for you, my friend.   I used to be the epitome of a perfectionist, and I wore that label like a badge of honor as a perfectionist as a pastry chef. When I changed careers and started my online wellness business, I had to learn how to ditch perfection and instead take action and show up consistently. When I applied the same techniques I discovered to my personal habits, like meditation and working out, my life began to slowly, yet sustainably transform in a way that I'd never experienced before.  In this episode, I'm sharing how you can take action and show up consistently by stopping yourself from striving for perfection, and instead enlisting the mindset of ‘done is better than perfect'.
