The Unstuck Career
Progress Beats Perfection Every Time
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, we shine a light on the “progress over perfection” mindset—a powerful shift that just might be the key to getting unstuck in your career. Have you found yourself overthinking and delaying goals because you’re afraid of making mistakes (or even worse, having others see you fall short)? I share real stories from my own journey—including a crispy chicken disaster and some less-than-stellar first social media posts—to remind you that greatness starts with being willing to be bad at something, no matter your age or experience.
We'll explore why overthinking is so common, and how the fear of being “seen learning” actually holds us back from launching ideas, taking courageous steps, and creating something new. This episode will inspire you to abandon the performer mentality and step boldly into the role of builder and creator, no matter how imperfect your first try may be.
If you’re ready to stop waiting until everything is perfect, tune in for practical challenges and encouragement—including how you can launch “version one” of any project with just a phone in hand. Let’s get you moving forward in your career and life today. Want to connect or get support in becoming unstoppable? Visit kenwilliamscoaching.com for more info.
