I'm working on a new project. It's been slow because I'm very busy moving out of states as you may know. But the project is maturing and here are a few spoilers of it: - If you like being roasted you will like this one. Roast & Promote is all about finding the flaws in your work. This new project is all about finding flaws in your workflow. If you can see and correct the flaws on both your work and your workflow you WILL succeed! But that takes courage to admit you're doing something wrong - It's an integrated software + community experience - Roasty will be there That's it for now. More about this project soon!

Exciting - keeping eyes peeled for more!
Why you? Sell your offer through you as a person!
This is a pitch exercise. You're selling something right? And there are plenty other people selling exactly the same thing that you're selling in a slighly different way. It's almost impossible to be innovative nowadays because everything you can think of is already being done by someone else. But here is your main leverage: someone else is not you! So why you? What is special about you? What are your qualifications? What are your experiences? What are your unique perspectives and qualities that makes that ideal client relate to your offer throught you? Sell you offer (feel free to add links, emojis, videos) throught the person that is behind it.

I chased the dream of climbing the career ladder, with great success - 7 promotions in my first 7 years. But I left a trail of destruction behind me - because I was following someone else's path, using someone else's playbook; doing what I thought was needed. I asked for feedback - expecting high praise - and receiving a reality check instead. The tough words of some of my peers made me realise my actions and my heart were not aligned. I made changes to my life and my career that mean that I can say I've loved every job since. And along the way, I've shared what I've learnt with over 10,000 people - helping them build careers that they can be proud of. I combine practical tools, and techniques with creative inspiration so that taking action in our careers feels like fun not a chore.
What is perfectionism?
[ROAST MY LESSON] Expanding a little on the subject on today's poll, this is a deep subject that I was talking to @Aimee Jardon in her community. Most people think that perfectionism is a positive thing. It's the cliche answer you give to the HR in a job interview when they ask you what your biggest flaw is. "Oh I loose too much time in the details, I got to make everything perfect." But beyond the cliches, this is indeed a flaw that can damage our career, our relationships and even our spiritual evolution. Not just a quircky thing you tell recruiters. A lot of people confuse perfectionism with diligence and caring. They are diferent things. The problem of perfectionists is not being able to tolerate flaws, not wanting to be perceived as flawed and being afraid of failing. And all of that is paralysing. You can spend hours and hours wanting to reach the most perfect result you can get, because you're diligent and realy care about your craft, and that's great. But if you're afraid of failure and obsessed with achieving absolute success, to the point of scraping and giving up on taking action, than that's a problem. It takes courage to suck at something, to face negative feedback, to see the flaws in our craft and learn from our mistakes, to realize we're not as good as we thought we were, but that's the only way we can grow. How many times did we ditch a great opportunity because we were afraid of being perceived as not enough? If we go deeper into philosophical / religious territory, wanting to be perfect (or even being perceived as perfect) is a fatal sin in itself. It's what caused the fall of Lucifer. The fallen angel wanted to be in the place of God, the only perfect being. The refusal of accepting our own flaws is a sickness of our ego. Being diligent is not being being afraid of flaws, being a perfectionist is. It's a sin derivated from vanity, and one that we all have to face and fight inside ourselves.

I think it is in Factfulness that Hans Rosling talks about the fact that perfectionism means using resources in one area that would actually have been better used somewhere else. Taking a step back and realising that pursuing perfection in the current thing is definitely having a disproportionate negative effect somewhere else helps us reset!
Hey hi
Little personal news: I'm moving to a different state. I've been living at a different state than my family for the past 4 years. Now im moving back to be closer to them for 2 reasons: - Raising a child away from family support is super hard. - We got our own apartment there, so that means no more rent. Just a small debt for a quick 30 years, it will go by fast. So I'm not giving up on this place. Just too busy trying to box everything, sell some stuff, find a painter to deliver our rented house and other moving arrangements. I'll be back to the old rhythm in a couple of weeks hopefully with better support for everything and more time to work on my projects and give all of you the roastings you're looking for.

Hope it all works out smoothly! Having the support you need around you is so important! And as your Skool builds you'll be able to pay off that 30 years much quicker!
