In this episode of Off Your Plate, Karine gets real about perfection — and how it’s often the very thing holding business owners back from taking meaningful action. She shares the behind-the-scenes story of how The Work VACAY launched imperfectly and why starting before you're “ready” can create stronger connections and better results. If you’ve been stuck waiting for the perfect product, launch, or post, this episode will inspire you to take imperfect action and build as you go.
Takeaways:
- Perfection only exists in your mind — your audience doesn’t know about the “perfect” version you’re holding back.
- Taking messy action is often how you discover what your community actually needs.
- Scrappy beginnings can build strong foundations.
- Listen to your audience early and often; they will guide your next steps.
- Imperfect action is always better than perfect procrastination.
