But how much of what you think you need to handle do you actually need to handle? \n\nWhat if overwhelm is actually part of your self-sabotaging behavior being played out?\n\nOverwhelm is not a necessary evil of being an entrepreneur - it’s a symptom of an underlying issue. In three easy steps, you can find out if self-sabotaging behavior is creating unnecessary overwhelm in your business and life.\n\nStep #1: Consider the Why\nWhen you understand why you do anything, you discover why you do everything.
