Control when it comes to an emotional part of my life is not helpful because I can't control every thought and feeling that comes into my mind or my brain. And so... That really taught me that being able to let go, being able to let things occur and just remind myself that I am big enough to hold space for all of those things and feeling them is not going to do anything.

That really was probably the time in my life when I realized that. It was because lying there at night, having a panic attack over those things, being like, I'm worth multiple hundreds of millions of dollars. I've built all these things. I have all this team underneath me. Like, why am I having a panic attack?

Well, I think that the more that you run from something, the bigger it becomes, right? Like there's this quote that I love, which is fear is a mile wide and an inch deep. And so like the moment that you step into that puddle or into what you think is an ocean, you recognize it's a puddle.

And I think that most of the time, a lot of people I meet, because I talk to thousands of entrepreneurs each month, they're running from something. But that thing, I think that they always think, I'll tell you this. So before I met Alex, I had a boyfriend.

Oh my God. And we broke up. And then after that breakup, I was really sad. And so I saw a therapist at the time and I said, you know, it'd been like two and a half months. And I was like, I'm just really sad. And she's like, well, why are you so sad? I was like, well, you know, I did hear that it takes about half the time that you've been with someone to get over someone.

And she was like, I think that's stupid.

And she was like, I think that's stupid.

And I was like, what's this therapist saying that's stupid? And I was like, okay, well, what then? And she's like, I think it takes as long as you want it to take. And I was like, okay, so what do you suggest? She's like, how about Thursday? I was like, what? Yeah, and she was like, how about you're over by Thursday? And I was like, okay. She's like, well, what would somebody who's over it do?

Okay, well, I would probably start going on dates. I would probably fill my time with other things. I probably wouldn't think about it so much. I'd probably do all these things to enjoy my life. And so I started doing those things. And what I recognized is that the moment I started acting like I was over it, I was over it.

And I think I relate that back because I think so many things that we fear or so many things we think are these big things that we have to confront in life, they actually only take a very small period of time. but we make it out to be like this big thing because we've been running from it for so long.

And so for me, I've just noticed time and time again, most of the things that I've had to confront, I might've been scared of for years and I can get over it in a matter of hours. And I think it's the same for so many people, but it's the fear is so, persuasive. Like it persuades you into thinking that it's going to take so long to get over it. But the reality is it doesn't.

It's almost like you have to skip through the puddle versus you think you have to swim across this entire ocean. Yeah. And so I think that most people just maybe they don't have the information or maybe they don't take the time because they're so busy in the business to step out and say, what are these things that are constraining me from growing my business even bigger?
