the behavior that was panning out for me was I had such high expectations that everything had to be perfect. And then I thought, well, it's not going to be perfect. So, you know, I was just looking out for everything that was like less than perfect or wrong. And then I realized that actually usually in the end, whether it's perfect or not is irrelevant.

I do quite a good job of most of the things that I do and I'm proud of them afterwards, but I've caused myself so much stress in the run up to it. And, you know, the closest people around me may be felt some of that stress too, that that really just wasn't worth it. And I gave myself the data and the evidence that usually the projects that I pay my attention to turn out really well.

So I kind of just learned to drop the stress around perfection that was coming with that. And I think a big learning that I had as well is that things don't always pan out how you plan. So becoming more flexible and open and spontaneous was important.

And I think both of those things have definitely contributed to being more creative, because in creativity, there is no such thing as perfection, and you do have to be flexible and spontaneous.

Yeah, I mean, as a serial entrepreneur like you, that's quite an obvious, in a way, just very tangible. But what I want to put behind that, that I'm sure you have examples of as well, is that it's the way that you deal with that that's the actual test. Right. Because something can not go as planned, and you could waste months or years dwelling on that.

Or you could learn through neuroplasticity to put that behind you as quickly as possible and move on to the next potential option. That's definitely been a big learning for me as well. It's come from not being able to let go of things that haven't panned out the way that I wanted them to. Then really looking back and taking stock and realizing, okay, That happened anyway.

Whatever it was that actually happened, that wasn't gonna change. But the amount of time that I wasted not being able to come to terms with that, that was actually the mistake that I made.
