This six-week mastermind program will cover how to overcome the common causes of perfectionism so you can embrace a Done is Better Than Perfect mindset. The format will include a review of the previous week, followed by a 15-minute lecture and member-focused hot seat brainstorming.

Week 1: Why We Are Perfectionists
Week 2: Fear of Failure. What are the consequences?
Week 3: Imposter Syndrome
Week 4: Defining Done
Week 5: Embracing iterations
Week 6: Putting it all together

Each week will have a short homework assignment about that week's topic. Most assignments are a few brief questions to help you identify how these common themes affect your ability to move projects forward. I will also provide a few handouts or worksheets to help you. — Homework is not mandatory, but you will get the most benefit from the group if you do the work.

One of the key benefits of a mastermind group is the hot seat.

If you're not familiar with the hot seat, every group member has a set amount of time to present their question or problem and the group brainstorms a solution.

You are not required to take a turn in the hot seat, but it is the best way to get help with your specific situation. — Other people may have a similar problem, but it's unlikely they will have the exact same needs and resources.

To ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate, I am limiting the group to a maximum of 10 people.

One of the biggest lessons I learned in design school it's the importance of knowing when to click save and step away from the keyboard. It's a lesson that's carried me through multiple businesses and it's a skill that allows me to keep projects moving forward. (Even when that little voice is begging me to make one more revision.)

Over the next three months, I'm going to share my favorite tricks and tips to help you overcome your inner critic and take control of your success.
