HB39: Self Arrest... Handling Anxiety and Negative Mindset

Being an entrepreneur is hard, and anyone who say’s it’s easy is lying! Building our online business has caused us our fair share of anxiety and panic attacks.

But, that doesn’t have to be the case – at least not all of the time.

If you’re looking for help on how to handle anxiety or negative mindset as an entrepreneur, you’re going to love this episode.

EPISODE OVERVIEW

Why do entrepreneurs suffer from anxiety?

As an entrepreneur you have a lot on your plate.

You’re working with clients, creating new programs and you are the boss. You’re personally responsible for bringing in the money, solving the problems and making sure everything runs smoothly…

Yeah, that can be stressful.

Why do we tend to think the worst?

It has a lot to do with our society, and upbringing – along with our ego and negative mental talk.

Good News: You don’t have to solve your anxiety issue to feel calm and at peace today. Just like in your business, you can change the story in your head and do things that melt that stress away like butter (vegan butter around here)!
