Perfectionism kills progress

Setting a high goal for yourself is not bad in and of itself. Holding yourself to a higher standard than your clients is healthy. It is how we ensure that our clients are consistently blown away by our exceptional service.

It is when those standards cripple us. When we hold ourselves to an impossible standard that this trait becomes destructive. Are you consistently never satisfied with your work because you feel like you could’ve done better? Do you have difficulty delegating because you know you can do it exactly the way you want it done?

Maybe you even delay getting a photo shoot because you want your photos to be perfect. I’ve heard it all. From losing weight to finding the right outfit, it’s too hot/cold outside. I don’t know how to “pose” right. Waiting for your office to be renovated. There are plenty of reasons not to get a photoshoot but there are even more reasons you should!

There is no better time to do a photoshoot than now. Clients love seeing your progress. Maybe you are in between offices. Share that journey with your clients! It is my job to make YOU look good. That includes suggesting what to wear, how to pose, and ultimately bringing your brand’s vision to life through photography.

You are not alone in this desire; you must strive for perfection! Your high attention to detail and high standard has gotten you where you are today! You can ALWAYS do better but learn from your mistakes and celebrate your successes! This is the only way we can gain valuable lessons from our experience!

The best way to celebrate your success is to treat yourself and your brand to a photo session. It will not only boost your confidence in yourself, but it will also give your brand all the high-quality content that you deserve!

The three best ways to fight against perfectionism with a branding session:

  1. Celebrate your success and milestones

    • Every win for your brand deserves to be celebrated no matter how big or how small it is. A photo session will capture these moments for you and your audience to celebrate them together!

  2. Share how you’ve learned from mistakes

    • Over the years you and your business have grown so much. There are a lot of painful lessons that you’ve learned over the years. Your audience wants to see you vulnerable and genuine! You can take a photo of something you did in the past that you wouldn’t do today and use it as a teaching moment.

  3. Share your journey with clients

    • People like to be involved in your personal journey! It is crucial to share the process as well as the product with your clients. Shoot lifestyle pictures of what you do while your out of the office and how it affects the way you run your business for a powerful impact on your audience!

Perfectionism kills progress in so many ways. Booking a photo shoot will give you the confidence boost you’ve been looking for. Your clients will be able to follow your journey and learn the person behind the business. At the same time you will get top quality content for all your visual branding. Websites, social media, brochures and business cards.
