Worrying excessively or trying to control things beyond your control can negatively impact you mentally and financially. Chris “Yoda” Dwyer shares how he anticipated the 2012 economic crash and got caught up in worrying about it, which negatively impacted his finances and businesses. He talks about the importance of focusing on your personal growth and relationships to develop a strong mindset and asking for help from others in need. This will help you avoid the pitfall of creating your own crashes through worry and limiting beliefs.
