You’re The Excellence Seeker
Your high standards and attention to detail inspire trust and set the bar for excellence in everything you do.
Who You Are
You take pride in your work and strive to deliver the very best for your students and community. Whether it’s perfecting the details of your classes, refining your space, or ensuring every experience is meaningful, you hold yourself — and your business — to a high standard.
Your commitment to quality means people can rely on you. They know when they come to your studio, they’re getting something special.
Your Superpowers & Strengths
Holding a clear vision for quality and consistency
Delivering exceptional experiences that keep students coming back
Spotting small details that others might miss — and improving them
Inspiring confidence and trust through professionalism and dedication
Constantly learning and growing to elevate your work
Your Growth Edge & Challenges
Your high standards are a gift — but they can also create pressure and limit your capacity. You may find yourself:
Spending excessive time perfecting details instead of moving forward
Feeling anxious about delegating because no one else will “do it right”
Hesitating to launch or share new ideas until they’re flawless
Holding yourself to impossible expectations
Struggling to celebrate wins because you’re already focused on the next improvement
Why this matters:
Excellence should energize you, not exhaust you. When your standards drive growth instead of perfectionism, your business can expand with more ease, freedom, and creativity.
Letting go of “perfect” allows you to focus on what truly matters — the experiences you’re creating and the impact you’re making.
Your Action Step for This Week
Choose one of these small shifts to give yourself more breathing room:
🤍 Launch or share something at 80% done and trust it will evolve over time.
🤍 Delegate one task you’ve been holding onto and let someone else own it.
🤍 Celebrate one recent win without immediately thinking of how to improve it.
Small steps like these help you trade perfection for progress — while still honoring your commitment to excellence.
