Dreaming big - and then actually going for it - is a vulnerable act for a perfectionist. But it's essential if you want to build a successful business that you actually like.

That's why, in today's episode, I'm sharing 3 practical steps you can take that will support you to dream big - even if you feel delusional, if you're scared of failing, if you're worried you'll just burn yourself out or you're scared of disappointment.

You're invited to join us inside Perfectionists Getting Shit Done for our annual review and 2026 planning calls that are happening next week.

Do you feel like having a full-time job means you can't be all-in on your business? Or that it means you're not taking your business 'seriously' enough? If that's you, you want to tune into this episode.

I recently coached a PGSDer who felt like the fact that she needed to get a full-time job to support herself financially meant that she wasn't being "all-in". And what I shared with her completely blew her mind and gave her so much relief.

So in today's episode I'm sharing why having a full-time job is often part of being all-in on your business. I'm also sharing how I personally navigated building my business while working a full-time job and the perspective that allowed me to stop resenting my full-time job (or feeling like a failure at business because I had one).

When I started my business, what I craved more than anything was the freedom to be the real me, the freedom to express myself and the freedom to grow.

In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts on freedom as an entrepreneur as well as what business looks like now as a mum of 4 kids under 5, making a full-time income on part-time hours and feeling safe to show up as myself in every part of my work.

I talk about leaving my accounting job with no proof things would work, the quiet self-belief that kept me going and the kind of courage it takes to back yourself before you have results.

If you've ever felt the pull to have a business where you can be the real you, this episode will help you reconnect with what you're really building for.
