Today’s world there are many reasons to worry
Eliminating worry leads to a bulletproof mind, bulletproof business, etc.
Starts with mindset:

1. Model Bruce Lee – dump worries onto a piece of paper
Worries lingering in mind take away from two assets: mental focus and physical energy
Write on paper and then rip up a piece of paper
Then your mind has a space to work
2. Worry beans/beads
Excuses prevent us from taking action
Every time you worry, drop a bean into a glass… this makes us aware of how worry is affecting us
With more awareness, we make better choices, better choices, giving us better results
3. Stop complaining – Complaining is worrying made verbal
– watch words
– CHANGE words
– words you use rewire beliefs

5. Start to see problems as good things
Being alive means you will have problems
– problems breed innovation

– they are good things
6. List out problems and then take actions on every problems
– take action on every problem
7. Look for the lessons in every problem
