933.Fear of Failure vs. Perfectionism, and the Dinner Question Sara Blakely's Dad Asked

Fear of failure and perfectionism get treated as the same problem, but they show up in very different ways. One keeps you from starting. The other keeps you from finishing. In this episode, Brian breaks down where the two overlap, where they split, and a simple question that tells you which one is stalling your most important project right now. He then lays out practical moves for each, built for busy entrepreneurs who need to ship the work instead of polishing it forever. Brian also brings in research from Thomas Curran and Andrew Hill on how one form of perfectionism has climbed sharply over the past few decades, and why it matters for the people we lead and the kids we raise. For parents, he closes with the dinner table question Spanx founder Sara Blakely's father asked her growing up, and how to bring it into your own home and your team meetings. \-- Get on the list to receive Brian's monthly newsletter: https://nodaysoff.com/subscribe/ Tune in to this podcast every weekday morning for 10 minutes or less as Brian shares lessons and stories about how to make positive changes in your life and business, one day at a time.
