I don’t know about you, but whenever I’ve got something that seems hard in front of me, I get a little anxious…
I worry that I’m not ready…
I worry that I won’t do well…
I worry the thing in front of me will be even tougher than I thought…
This past week was like that EVERY DAY as I looked at my training regimen and work schedule.
While my work calendar wasn’t overwhelming, I had lots of hard stuff on the schedule –
Attending a 3-day workshop Monday-Wednesday from 3-7 pm to plan out the rest of the year for the business.
Delivering our Fall Client Intensive to our Startup Selling Group.
Working with the team to identify process gaps to fill and systems to build as we continue to grow and scale.
Every night, looking ahead to the next day and week ahead, I felt anxious.
When the 4 am alarm went off, I felt intimidated by the day ahead – miles to run, hills to climb, family time focus, and responsibilities.
How would I do it all?
Then I reminded myself – I’ve been here a hundred times before, a thousand times before…
It’s normal to feel anxious.
Then I told myself – “Dude – you know you’ll be fine once you GET STARTED. Just take action. Besides, anxious is GOOD because it means that I CARE.”

And I did – day-by-day, meeting by meeting, mile by mile.
Don’t let ANXIETY prevent ACTION. Use the anxiety as ENERGY to fuel your focus and win the day.
You got this.

3 年Anxiety is my sales superpower. Embracing those "what if's" helps me be prepared... even if I simply say, "If that happens, I'll be ok with it. It's happened before..."
