The Perfectionist Mindset: Why “Just Right” Conditions Never Come in Business

• Are you waiting for perfect conditions before you...do the thing?

In this episode of The Fitness of Business, we dive into the hidden weight of perfectionism and how it shows up for entrepreneurs. From waiting for “perfect conditions” before starting (whether it’s running again or launching a business idea) to constantly comparing ourselves to where we used to be, perfectionism can feel like discipline…but often keeps us stuck.

I'm joined by Sam Field, therapist, consultant, and founder of Field Therapy, whose work focuses on connection, nourishment, and collective care. Together, they explore:

• Why so many business owners identify as “recovering perfectionists”
• The difference between high standards and paralyzing expectations
• How to spot when perfectionism is serving you—and when it’s sabotaging you
• Practical ways to move forward, even when things aren’t perfect

If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I’ll start when…” or hesitating to launch until everything looks flawless, this conversation will remind you: progress matters more than perfection.
