Today we’re going to talk about protecting your confidence. Business coach Dan Sullivan has often said that protecting our confidence is our first job as business owners — and we’ve found that when we're not sure which direction to go in, making a decision on that basis can give some useful clarity.

Today we’ll talk about some techniques for doing that, and of course some specific recommendations for things you can actually do, and words of encouragement as well.

Strategies covered include:

• Regulating your inputs
• Avoiding fixed mindsets
• Avoiding toxic positivity
• ...and revisiting your businesses value proposition

Today we're going to talk about Mindful Speed.

Because two things happen when things get weird. We either race in a crazy direction, or we freeze in place. Those are both very natural, but neither is helpful. 

Today we'll share a few thoughts on how you can keep from getting stuck for too long -- without going into panic mode. We’ll touch upon both speed during the course of the workday and the speed at which you run your business.

We highly recommend Carl Honoré's books In Praise of Slow and The Slow Fix as supplements to this episode.
