Summary
We are big proponents of having a positive attitude here at the Dream Big Podcast. So I think that most of our Big Dreamers will be surprised that this week's episode is about engaging in Worst Case Scenario thinking. This "backwards" strategy is very powerful, and will be a good lesson for kids and adults that the "worse case scenario" is often not that terrible after all. And when you compare the "worse case scenario" with the benefits that you'll experience if the outcome turns out positive, this strategy will help you break out of your comfort zone and grow.
