Questions this episode answers

Frequently asked questions

How do I stop fear about money from taking over?

The hosts are honest that fear creates worst case images in your mind. Their practice is to start small, list one or two genuine positives, and treat every setback as a lesson you write down and keep.

Why should I bother celebrating small wins?

Because owners tend to forget the little wins and only feel the pressure. Recognising small wins and the lessons in setbacks is what keeps you progressing instead of reliving the same emotions.
