🔑 KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Stop Spiraling. Start Zooming Out.

You forgot a $100 filing fee. Is it annoying? Yes. Is it worth a three-paragraph rage email at midnight? No. If it’s less than 1% of your monthly revenue, breathe and move on.

2. Data Over Drama.

Your employee was late twice in 121 days? That’s not a firing offense—it’s a conversation. Look at the pattern before you write the panic script in your head.

3. One “No” Doesn’t Cancel Your Growth.

A $10K client didn’t hire you? You’ve already made $400K this year. Get two $5K clients or one $12K case and move on. Your business isn’t built on one maybe.

4. Don’t Let One Bad Review Ruin Your Week.

You’ve got 200 five-star reviews and one one-star. Don’t spend six hours and four emails obsessing. Instead, get five more raving reviews and drown out the noise.

5. Vanity Metrics ≠ Real Money.

So your Instagram likes dipped. But did consults and sign-ons increase? Great. That’s what matters. Focus on bank deposits, not just hearts and comments.

6. Copycats Can’t Copy Your Power.

Someone mimicked your $50K website? Take it as flattery. Your voice, your service, your client experience—that’s what they can’t steal. You’re the brand.

7. You’re Human. Your Team Is Too.

A $300 billing mistake or a wrong link in an email doesn’t mean it’s time to fire your vendor or berate your staff. People make mistakes. Address it, fix it, and use it as a systems tweak—not a meltdown trigger.

8. Perfectionism Is Not a Business Model.

If your team gets 99% of the work right, you’ve got a good team. Don’t torch your sanity trying to run a mistake-free machine. Focus on consistency, not perfection.

9. Fix It. Then Keep It Moving.

When something goes wrong, ask: How do I fix it? How do I prevent it? Then move forward. Obsessing over what already happened? That’s costing you more than the mistake did.
