It Isn’t About Being Perfect -It’s About Being Perfectly You
For most of my life, I thought excellence meant perfection. If I could just get it right – the timing, the copy, the offer, the tone, the framework, the output, the guarantee – then things would fall into place. Clients would say yes. Partners would stay.
