Summary

How to avoid having “desperate energy”, making frantic decisions, and being in complete panic mode in your business. If I had to guess, I would say that you've experienced moments in your entrepreneurship journey where things just didn't go as planned. You know, those launches that don't take off, promos that fail to convert, or your email list subscribers that keep going away? It's incredibly frustrating, and you may be tempted to move on to the next project or pick up the pieces immediately. But hold on! Before you do that, I need you to listen to this episode! It's completely natural to feel a sense of desperation when things don't go your way, but I’m telling you my friend, you really don't want to get caught up in what I call "desperate energy." This energy can cause you to panic and frantically scramble to find a solution without making a second thought, and it's so not helpful for your business! Oh, and I've been guilty of this myself, and even my brilliant CEO called me out about it a few months ago. So I know that people don't want to work with someone who has this habit! In today's episode, I share my top advice for avoiding making frantic and desperate decisions for your business when things aren’t going according to plan. In this episode, I talk about: 3:05: What “desperate energy” really means for your business 4:05: My experience with having desperate energy when I’m stressed out 7:23: Practical strategies for closing revenue gaps in your business to avoid making frantic decisions 11:02: Why you need to stay cool, calm, and confident in your interactions and relationships Listen in and embrace these tips!
