Perfectionism in real estate is one of the most common (and sneaky) reasons agents get stuck. In this episode of Hustle Humbly, Katy and Alissa break down why waiting for "perfect" systems, branding, or timing often leads to procrastination instead of progress.
They talk through real-life examples—from CRMs and databases to social media and follow-up—and explain why high achievers actually get more done by letting go of perfection. You'll hear practical strategies to help you take action, even when things feel messy or unfinished.
