How are you feeling right now?
Are you hoping and praying and wishing life would just go back to normal?
Are you grieving the loss of what once was?
Are you constantly locked in fight or flight mode physically and emotionally?
Are you overwhelmed by anxiety and just feeling stuck in life and business?
All of these feelings are normal, and I have heard all of them and more from so many entrepreneurs.
I’m a highly sensitive person with high functioning anxiety, so I get it. I’ve gone through all of these feelings throughout the past few months, too.
What we are going through is HARD, and there is no right way to feel.
But, as entrepreneurs, we can level up by using this time to intentionally craft our new normal.
We can make the decisions to best move our business forward with confidence and stability.
Are you ready for a new normal? I’m here to help you figure it out.
