Are you frustrated that your business isn’t growing as quickly as it should be? Are you working hard yet feeling behind? Do you ever get annoyed that you aren’t getting the customers or social media followers that you deserve? If so, today’s episode is for you.

I’m sharing what hidden Perfectionist Entitlement is, why it’s not necessarily a ‘bad’ thing, the ways it’s shown up for me and my clients and the practical steps to get into a more empowering and resilient mindset.

If you’re ready to get out of your own way in your business, you want to join my program for perfectionists who are building businesses. It’s called Perfectionists Getting Shit Done (aka PGSD). Click here to find out more about the program and join the waitlist today: samlaurabrown.com/pgsd. Our next opening begins on 18 July 2025 for one week only.

In this episode, I’m debriefing the April 2025 PGSD launch and walking you through exactly how I processed a disappointing result without making it mean something about me, the program or my ability to sell.

This isn’t a “what went wrong” breakdown from a place of blame. It’s a real-time look at how I led myself through a launch that didn’t hit its goals without spiralling into shame, burning everything down or losing momentum.

In the episode I’m sharing:

• What emotional regulation actually looks like when the numbers don’t meet your expectations

• How to tell the difference between what needs tweaking vs what’s already working

• Why success doesn’t require perfect results every time (and how I’ve learned to trust that)

• The thought processes that kept me grounded so I could take clear, calm next steps

Whether you’re still working on showing up consistently or you’re refining your sales process, this episode will help you stay out of the shame spiral and keep building your business in a way that’s sustainable, strategic and self-trusting.

If you’ve ever had a launch flop or a result that didn’t reflect your effort - this episode is for you.
