Synopsis

You are smart, brilliant, and beyond talented, but if you're a woman, particularly a Black woman or woman of color, you're likely prone to doubting yourself. What's more, society often reinforces the idea that you—that we—don't deserve the success we do achieve. But that couldn't be further from the truth.

Award-winning journalist, motivational speaker, and blogger L'Oreal Thompson Payton is a self-professed success junkie and poster girl for "overly" ambitious high achievers everywhere. She also knows firsthand how imposter syndrome and self-doubt can derail your dreams. She's experienced the growing pains that come with big career and life changes. But she's also come out the other side ready to kick ass, take names, and bring everyone she possibly can along with her.

In Stop Waiting for Perfect, she's doing just that: using that hard-won insight to help you through your own journey. She's penned the pocket-sized pep talk to walk with you through any obstacle in your career or personal life. This book will force you to stop playing small and encourage you to fully step into your power and walk in your purpose. It will awaken the dreams you buried deep within your soul long ago because you thought they were impossible, unattainable—available to other people, but not you. Until now.

Some elements of the read resounded with me......more

Goodreads review by Cait on August 22, 2023

I found L’Oreal Thompson Payton a few years ago (5+ years) at a time that can only be described as a career slump. I was sitting in the basement bathroom of my office, crying, half from the stress and half from the godawful sewage smell that bathroom had. I googled “millennial newsletters”, “women i......more
