Let\u2019s talk about something that\u2019s gonna ruffle a few perfectionist feathers\u2014the 90% Rule. It\u2019s my way of saying that doing less is actually the fastest way to make more. Perfectionism might feel like a badge of honor, but babe, it\u2019s a profit killer. In this episode, I\u2019m breaking down how overdelivering and chasing \u201cperfect\u201d are draining your time, your energy, and your money\u2014and how to flip that into efficiency, profit, and freedom. I\u2019ll walk you through how to decide where to give your full 100% and where 90% is more than enough. Because guess what? Your clients can\u2019t tell the difference\u2014and they\u2019re already wowed.  IN THIS EPISODE, I TALK ABOUT: What the 90% Rule is (and why it works) Why perfectionism is not service\u2014it\u2019s self-sabotage How \u201coverdelivering\u201d confuses clients and eats your profit The difference between excellence and perfection Real stories from ML Interiors Group (and how one change saved us 10\u201315 hours per project!) Where to give 100%: client experience, communication, and installation Where 90% is plenty: backend systems, sourcing, and social media consistency How the 90% Rule frees you to take on better clients, protect your creativity, and actually enjoy your business again You don\u2019t have to give 110% everywhere to build a wildly successful design business. You just need to know where it counts. When you stop trying to perfect every detail and start focusing on what actually drives results, you make more money, get more energy back, and give your clients a smoother, more confident experience.
