| 0:00.0 | Welcome to It's a Good Life with Brian Baffini, founder of America's largest business coaching company. |
| 0:10.0 | Here's a short classic cut from one of our all-time favorite episodes. |
| 0:15.0 | And so today's episode is called Be Anxious for Nothing. |
| 0:20.0 | Now that's obviously not a quote from me, that's from the scriptures and |
| 0:23.9 | it's a fantastic quote, be anxious for nothing. And so we're going to talk about that. |
| 0:28.0 | So the first major point I want to get into is that society is anxious. So we're living in a cauldron of anxiety. |
| 0:35.7 | Negativity is the norm. A big think group just did a survey that said 90% of the |

| 1:25.1 | develop is not the norm. Being faithful in your disciplines is not the norm. Budgeting and |
| 1:29.9 | taking care of your finance is not the norm. Going the extra mile for your customers is not the norm. |
| 1:34.8 | So negativity is the norm. |
