A lot of entrepreneurs are scared right now, while others are excited, feeling like this is the best time to be innovating and creating value. Why these opposing mindsets? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Steven Krein explain why some people are experiencing anxiety about the future while others are staying cool and calm.  Highlights: Some people see “scary times” as opportunities. The people who we expect to be in charge are responding not only to an event, but to other people’s responses. The majority of people are less prepared now for something different to happen. Strategies, tools, and concepts have prepared Strategic Coach® clients to not be shaken by whatever happens. If your confidence comes from inside yourself, you can find a way to be confident in any situation. When people feel uncertain, they hold onto their money. Entrepreneurs should have enough security to go one or two quarters without worrying about cash flow. In uncertain times, it’s your job to keep your team members’ confidence up every day. Make sure you come out of uncertain times with the same team power you went into it with. When your clients are uncertain about their futures, your job is to enable them to create a new future for themselves. Everyone is 100% responsible for their own feelings. If you’re immersed in just getting your job done, it’s easy to ignore what’s going on in the outside world.  Resources: StartUp Health The Dan Sullivan Question by Dan Sullivan “Geometry” For Staying Cool & Calm by Dan Sullivan The Strategic Coach® Signature Program Scary Times Success Manual  by Dan Sullivan The Positive Focus® Thinking About Your Thinking by Dan Sullivan My Plan For Living To 156 by Dan Sullivan Capitalism—And Everything Else  by Dan Sullivan
