Hitting Your “Next Level” Won’t Eliminate Your Anxiety. But This Will
Jul 19, 2023Ciao from Sorrento, Italy! I am super excited to share the newest episode of the Scottie Taylor Jr Podcast – Hitting Your “Next Level” Won’t Eliminate Your Anxiety. But This Will
As I write this, I’m overlooking the Almalfi coast - which is freaking BEAUTIFUL!! I am feeling alllll sorts of gratitude, but of course, there is still a small part of me that feels anxious about life & business.
And so, as I was brainstorming content for this episode, something came through for me – and I’m REALLY excited to share this episode and thoughts with you.
If you’re anything like me, you likely want to make more money.
And when we think about making more money – we want it for one reason only. We think that when we have it, we’ll feel better.
Making more money, for most, comes down to one of three things: security, freedom, and fun.
And for the longest time, I used to think that once I had a certain amount of money, things would just be easy. Like, my anxiety would go away, I’d be able to live in the moment, and I wouldn’t be stressed out at all anymore.
Well, hate to say it, making more money did NOT eliminate my anxiety, but it did change it.
So – back to my point.
This morning, Joe and I took a trip to Positano, about a 40 minute drive from where we are in Sorrento. We spent the morning walking around, exploring, and just soaking it all in.
And I had a brief thought…. “If I had $10m in the bank right now, man oh man I wouldn’t be stressed at all! I could totally just enjoy the moment and not worry about finances”
I’m guessing some of you have thought something similar, or am I alone here?!
And that thought sparked another thought, which went something like this:
How can I create a life where I’m not stressed or anxious about money or my business????
Through experience, I’ve realized that there’s no magical financial number that - once you hit it - you’ll feel “secure.”
There are millionaires that still feel stressed and anxious about money.
If making it to a certain level doesn’t allow for stress to disappear, then how the f*ck do we finally eliminate stress & anxiety around our business?
After a LOT of trial and error, here is my solution to feeling virtually stress free in business – and finally be able to live in the present moment.
Step 1: Set up a lead generation system, one that’s PROVEN to work
I go DEEP into this in the episode, but here’s the short and sweet of it. If you have a system to bring in new people every single day, then your entire business will continue to work.
The MAIN reason I would stress, hustle, and worry is because I didn’t know if I had enough leads coming in – and therefore enough money coming in.
Once I solved this (and I share how I am going about it in my business currently) – I actually feel like I can relax, enjoy myself, and KNOW that people are going to come in the door every day.
Step 2: Trust & believe in your system, and surrender to the process you created (aka: let TF go of control!!!!!!!!!!!)
This might seem super simple at first, but something I am constantly doing is letting TF go of control!!!
Years and years of being taught that “hard work = success” has created patterns of behavior in my life – and the biggest one is that I feel like I have to show up in order to make money.
Letting go of this belief system – and trusting in my process - has been such a beautiful challenge for me, but one that is insanely rewarding.
If you’re interested in feeling less stress or anxiety in business, this is a MUST listen to episode for you.
