Are you brave, or are you trying to be perfect?

When I was at the National Association of Realtors Convention, I heard Billie Jean King speak.

I was fascinated by her topic, where she shared about how we have been trained to tackle life from a very young age.

From her perspective, boys are raised to be brave, and girls are raised to be perfect. That’s screwed up, you know? There are exceptions - we know some boys that are raised to be perfect, and some girls who are raised to be brave.

But how does that upbringing reflect in our work? How does it impact our choices?

This week on the Selling the Dream podcast, I’m encouraging you to choose to be brave, not perfect! You’ll see how striving for absolute perfection will hold us back from being able to achieve.

Which are you choosing in 2020? Brave, or perfect?
