Facing The Suck
Updated: Dec 19, 2018
Starting a business is harder than I ever expected. (I know everyone warns about this.) I am growing and learning more than I have ever in my life.
The most significant positive change for me has been "facing the suck." When I'm really anxious about something, I can no longer hide or push it off to someone else.
Instead, I take a deep breath and block off an hour to just face it. I map out what I'm afraid of, what is unknown, and then develop a plan. I'm shocked at the impact on my life. Usually, the facts aren't nearly as scary as the stories in my head, and I often develop 3 to 4 great ideas for mitigating any risks.
What are you most afraid of or worried about? Stop letting it consume you and just face it.
You've got this.
