Is perfectionism holding you back in your design business? Many designers struggle with getting things just right, but the truth is, perfectionism can lead to procrastination, missed opportunities, and increased stress. The pursuit of perfection often becomes the enemy of progress. What if you could get more done and experience more success by aiming for 70% instead of 100% or 110%?

In this episode, I introduce the 70% solution, a mindset shift that helps you let go of perfectionism and start making progress. You'll learn how to balance striving for excellence with getting things done, why perfectionism leads to mental chaos and overwhelm, and how applying the 70% rule can help you deliver exceptional work without the constant need for perfection. Plus, I share how iconic business leaders like Jeff Bezos use this strategy to make better decisions faster.
