What you'll learn in this episode is about how to overcome self-doubt:
For this solocast…we're going to take a step back. I'm going to walk you through a small slice of the data from 12-months ago on the impact of COVID-19 on small business owners for a couple of reasons.
One — I want you to see how far you have come…how you moved along that path…to reflect on the decisions you made…and the result outcomes. And yes — nothing is ever perfect…but you're still here. And there's victory in that.
Two — we're going to celebrate a few businesses and their owners who really crushed it. And I don't mean necessarily from a revenue perspective…but I mean from the perspective of being the beacon of hope when we needed them to be.
Being there every time their clients or customers had a question — and oftentimes a difficult one — there they were — being helpful.
Let's celebrate that because in good times — or in bad, like a global pandemic — it's a great recipe for us to follow.
And three — as we see the economy recovering — and we see momentum beginning to come back — what are some things you could be doing right now to fill your sales pipeline with right-fit prospects?
I'll share some insights that you can take and apply.
So you see? Now's the time to double down.

It all started because I wanted to be a better dad. I was driving home with my kids one day and thought, "Why doesn't the school system teach kids how to live a happy life?" It dawned on me, "because that's my job as a parent." Duh.
From then on, I started teaching daily 5 minute lessons to my kids based on everything I've learned over my 5 years as a high-performance coach. At first it was hard to add it to our manic morning routine, but now my kids harass me if they don't get their daily Lunchbox Lesson.
