Giving Yourself Permission to Take Imperfect Action with Lauren Tilden | Episode 45

I’m so excited to chat with Lauren Tilden, Small Business Marketing Coach of Making Good. You can tell from the interview that she truly believes in the magic of small business, which is so inspiring. She also advocates for small acts adding up and overcoming perfectionism by being willing to do something you’re not good at.

In this episode, we chat through:

• Giving herself permission to be interested in many things and shift gears
• Burning out in corporate America right after college and starting a creative small business she still runs today
• Viewing her podcast as a marriage between marketing and small business to amplify potential and opportunities
• Taking the next right step for YOU
• Showing up consistently and showing up for yourself by following through
• Finding what will make you actually do something and feel good about it
• How listening to a podcast about intuition changed the trajectory of her life
• Ditching “rational” decisions in place of what feels right after a lifetime of shoulds
• Speaking up for what she believes in, even if it’s controversial
• Supporting small businesses via any purchasing decisions
• Using her values to make better, faster decisions
• How kindness shows up in her business, inspires others, and creates opportunities
• Learning to leave perfectionism behind (over and over again) and setting yourself up to succeed by managing your expectations
• The idea of “making it tiny” to manage your tasks and finding accountability wherever you can
