Episode 2475

Here are two questions to ask: what’s the worst that can happen? What’s the best that can happen? In today's episode, we have a question from Amy in Las Vegas, who's been listening to the show and is a bit rattled by our Failure Friday segments. Amy's running a pet grooming side hustle and is wondering if the doubts and anxieties she feels after listening to these failure stories are normal. Let's talk about how we can turn these stories of failure into stepping stones for success.
"Hi, it's Amy Meekan. I've been following your podcast for a while now and really enjoy the Success Stories. However, the Failure Friday episodes make me anxious about my own side hustle in pet grooming. I start doubting my choices and my business's potential. Is it normal to feel this way, and how do I overcome it? Sometimes I even consider quitting because the stories sound so much like my own situation."
