[Planning Series] How To Follow Your Plans When You Don’t Feel Like It Leave a comment

[Part 5 of 5] There are courageous things you need to do to build your business that you might never feel excited about – like pitching yourself as a guest on one of your favourite podcasts or posting on Instagram when you’ve been getting low engagement or publishing your sales page when you’re still working on believing that your product is worth the money.

If you’re only able to do things when you’re in the mood to do them, your business won’t get much further than it is now. But changing that is simple when you know there are only three problems that make perfectionists get in their own way in their business: planning problems, productivity problems and persistence problems.

So far, this series has shared how to solve your planning problems. I’ve taught you how to stop procrasti-planning, what the Power Planning process looks like, how to plan your week when it’s rife with uncertainty and the importance of the Three Month Commitment.

In the final part of the series, I’m sharing how to solve your productivity and persistence problems so you have the full picture when it comes to getting out of your own way.

Doors close Friday: This is our final enrollment of the year for Perfectionists Getting Shit Done. When you sign up for PGSD, you’ll get instant access to the Power Planning Course so you can start planning properly as a perfectionist right away and start 2026 with PGSD by your side. Doors close at 11:59pm EST this Friday, 21 November. To sign up today visit samlaurabrown.com/pgsd.

Sam Laura Brown (Custom introduction)
You are going to love this. I just know this is going to be perfect timing that I am releasing these episodes today. So what I am doing is I’m releasing the five most popular episodes of this podcast, which is the Planning series on how to plan properly as a perfectionist, whether you have listened before, whether this is going to be your first time listening, if you have been getting in your own way, in your business, if you’ve been having a hard time showing up, if you know that you could be more successful if you could just actually follow through with the plans that you make. You know what to do. You’re just not doing it. This series is just going to be the best thing for you. So I want to invite you to listen to all five parts of this series. They are going to be profoundly helpful. And I also want to invite you to join us inside my program. Perfectionist Getting Shit Done. So we are actually in the last enrollment of this year, so doors will be closing at 11:59pm eastern time on Friday the 21st of November. So that’s only a few days away, and I want to invite you inside, because first of all, there’s obviously never a better time to get out of your own way than the present.

There is just being able to create the compound effect and like be in that momentum before the year is even over. I know we love to wait till January and all of that, but what if, instead of waiting for January to start getting out of your own way, you were out of your own way and on that path by January, so that come January, you’re not starting from a standstill. That’s what I want to invite you into in December, we also do an annual reflection as a community the year in review, and we do planning for the following year. So I want to invite you to be there for that, whether it’s being there live with us, doing the replay, no matter your time zone, doing that is going to set you up for the best 2026 and also, when you sign up for Perfectionist Getting Shit Done, you will get instant access to everything, including the power planning course, which you can watch start to finish in an afternoon and then be planning properly as a perfectionist, along with the support and the incredible community and other tools that are there for you inside PGSD as well. So I hope you enjoy this series, and I want to invite you to join us inside PGSD, before the doors close at 11:59pm eastern time this Friday, the 21st of November, you can go to samlaurabrown.com/pgsd, the link will be down there for you in the show notes to go and sign up today and join us inside.
