Do you struggle with perfectionism as an entrepreneur?

So many of us do. We want our business to be perfect, not just for ourselves, but for our customers as well. 

Dr. Alessandra Wall knows a lot about this as she was a former Clinical Psychologist, which gives a unique angle to her business. 

She goes into perfectionism and the many guises it takes and how it is actually slowing you down. It feels like you’re moving forward but, in fact, you are only procrastinating in creating what you want to create.

Dr. Wall is the founder of Noteworthy, an exclusive executive coaching firm supporting powerful executive women from VP to the C-suite. Her goal is to ensure that her clients (and the women who work for them) can access the positions they deserve and, once there, build impact, grow their influence, and actually enjoy the fruits of their labor in and out of the office. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• How perfectionism is holding you back
• Techniques to manage your time as a business owner
• How to shift your mindset for greater success

Some women don’t find the balance between work and hustle in the everyday, but instead find it in different seasons of their life. Christine McDannell is one of those ambitious women entrepreneurs who has grown, acquired and sold over 20 businesses. She understands that some seasons need a hustle, whereas others can be more easy, and at some points you need to blend work and life to move the business forward. 

This episode will touch on how women always undervalue their business, while men overvalue their business and how women entrepreneurs need more confidence in business and a lot revolves around our mindset issues. She will also go into why having a strong vision is essential to a successful business and that the steps to get there are only a means to an end.
