There is no one who always does what is right,
not even one.

—Romans 3:10

I know you’re probably like me… You want to present your best and operate in excellence. You want to live as the Bible describes—a life worthy of the calling you’ve been given.

And that’s all good.

But do you know one of the biggest blessing blockers I see?
It’s perfectionism.

God doesn’t require us to be perfect before we step into our purpose.

We add that pressure ourselves… especially us women.

I believe perfectionism is actually a sign of distrust—a sign that we don’t trust God to perfect that which concerns us. The Bible tells us He will do that, and we don’t have to worry about it.

God only asks our surrender, obedience and trust.

Perfectionism runs rampant in women. We never feel prepared enough, smart enough, thin enough, or good enough. This keeps us stuck in the paralysis of analysis.

Does this sound like you?

Do you keep getting ready to get ready?

Here are my 5 best tips to overcome perfectionism:

1. Stop perfecting, start practicing. Start leaping. Be OK without holding those highest of high standards.

2. Lower the bar. Women tend to raise the bar so high it’s almost too high for us to reach. I’m going to give you one secret I tell my clients: Paid is better than picky! The people who tinker and keep perfecting never make money. They never launch.

3. Learn to delegate and give tasks to others. Outline the process for them—but remember that no one ever will do it exactly like you do. Keep in mind…. Christ had a crew.

4. Get support. You need people around you who believe in you. Don’t end up in isolation—you can’t manifest your purpose by yourself.

5. Start before you’re ready. Ready does not exist. Listen… there is NO such thing as being fully ready.

Stop waiting for a sign that you’re ready. If God has given you a recurring tug, that is all you need. That is your DIvine Okay. That’s your approval that you are ready for such at time as this and you have been called.

You’re walking in the shoes of Esther and Daniel and Moses—and none of them felt ready, either!

God only requires that you say YES.

Hey, superwoman… you really can take off that cape now.

Just say yes and take the first step.

Godfidence is using the power within you to manifest the life that God has always intended around you.

He’s getting ready to bless your socks off.

“Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be censured.”
–Titus 2:7

Simply put, a thought leader is someone who has a message to share–and shares it in order to change, inspire or improve the world.

Thought leaders also invest in their leadership, learning skills and tools to better deliver their message and master the business side of being a messenger.

Thought leaders are focused on their purpose, their voice and their message. They’re too busy to compare or worry about what others are doing.

Finally, thought leaders are bold enough to take on the leadership mantle and take on the discipline and training to put themselves in a position to be heard.

But the one thing they’ve got to do is share that message!

Can’t ignore that tug to bring your message to the world?

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Christ came so that would we have life and have it more abundantly. I bet you can quote that Scripture by heart, right? But there’s a big difference between saying it and seeing it… and an even bigger difference when you can be seizing it.

For those of you who feel called into the marketplace to have more impact or influence—or called to do more for your family, financial abundance is a necessity. But so many people DON’T have it. They don’t have what they need.

In my life, I take 5 foolproof steps that allow me to operate with a whole lot more abundance and fruitfulness and I want to share them with you today on today’s episode of Godfidence TV. I’ve never seen them fail.
