What Are You Really Worrying About? (And What If You're Wrong?)
Hey Rise & Shiners!
Can we chat for a hot min?
Entrepreneurship comes with this sneaky undercurrent of anxiety we rarely talk about — the one that shows up when:
- the leads slow down
- your launch feels like a risk
- or you’re spiraling because your messy middle doesn’t look like her polished Chapter 20.
Yeah. That one.
On yesterday’s call, we had a moment that hit hard:
🧠 Fear isn’t the problem. It’s just misdirected imagination.
Because if you can picture everything going wrong -
👀 the flop
💸 the loss
🤯 the embarrassment
then you already have the skillset to imagine it going right.
Same brain. Same imagination. Totally different direction.
So instead of asking,
“What if this fails?”
Try:
“What if this is working out better than I even realize right now?”
🪞Where’s Your Brain Spiraling Lately?
Let’s name it, not shame it:
💸 Money → “Will this pay off? Am I wasting money again?”
⏰ Time → “How the hell am I supposed to do all this?”
😬 Failure → “What if I launch and no one buys?”
👀 Judgment → “What if I pivot and look like I don’t know what I’m doing?”
You’re not the only one — and talking about it out loud helps more than you think.
🔄 Flip It Before It Runs You
Fear’s not a red light — it’s a signal. It’s saying, “Hey… this matters.”
So instead of letting it run the show, try asking better questions:
- What’s this actually about?
- Is this fear rooted in truth, or just an old story I keep retelling?
- What belief would serve me better right now?
🛠️ Try This Week (Pick One — don’t overachieve)
🫁 Box Breathing – Inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4. Use before a call or before hitting publish.
🪜 Fear Ladder – Write your worst-case fear, then list 3 outcomes that are way more likely and way more helpful.
🎙️ Audio Journal – Talk through your fear like you’re coaching a friend. Then listen back with compassion.
📚 Evidence Hunt – Go find receipts. That time you pivoted and it paid off. That surprise yes. That tiny win that led to something big.
Which one are you gonna try? Drop it below — you’ll probably inspire someone else too.
💚 Real Talk to End On
Your anxiety doesn’t mean you’re bad at this.
It means you care.
It means you’re doing something that actually matters to you.
That imagination that’s been running worst-case scenarios on repeat?
Let’s flip it. That’s your vision muscle and it’s ready to work for you, not against you.
✨ “Anxiety is just imagination in the wrong direction. Turn it around and it becomes vision.”
