Raise your hand if you could win an Oscar for Best Performance as a Cool and Collected Business Owner 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Things are (secretly) falling apart, but you’re holding it together…on the outside, at least.

We all have those moments where everything feels chaotic, but you gotta project confidence.

Faking calm until things settle down is a key part of the entrepreneurial toolkit.

Do This, Instead:

• Take a few deep breaths: Cliche but it helps; oxygen brings back clarity amidst the panic.
• Focus on what you CAN control: Don’t spiral about hypotheticals; tackle one problem at a time.
• Have a support system: People you can vent to in private so you can maintain composure publicly.
• Remember past successes: You’ve overcome challenges before, you will again.

What’s your go-to trick for calming your inner freakout?
