My business partner Chris White says, "Protect your confidence."

He says this because he knows—like a lot of business owners—that once you let head trash take over... it's game over. It sounds like...

"I can't do this."

"I'm not enough to make this work."

"Sooner or later they'll find out I'm not really good at this."

Do this today—look at your calendar and schedule a clarity break.

Give yourself 2 hours, or even a full day to step away from what you're doing and just think.

You need space to remind yourself who you are, why you're doing this, and what's important.
