Perfectionism is Fear Tied in a Pretty Bow: Women in business are prone to perfectionism and it stands in the way of success. There is a big difference between mastery and perfectionism. I had to learn the hard way that simply toiling to make it perfect is a dead-end. Business is about relationships and it is best to co-create with your customers and enable them to have a voice in your business.

I had the pleasure of interviewing Melinda Wittstock. Melinda Wittstock is the CEO and founder of Podopolo, the world’s first socially-interactive and gamified podcasting network. A serial entrepreneur who has built 4 businesses in media, mobile, and tech to 7- and 8- figure success, Melinda hosts “Wings of Inspired Business” named by Entrepreneur Magazine as #8 of 20 of the top business podcasts for 2020. Also an award-winning journalist and TV anchor for the BBC, ABC News, Financial Times and Times of London, Melinda also helps business owners and entrepreneurs launch magnetic and profitable podcasts.
