So de-guruize yourself. Unhook yourself from the guru trap, because the fact of the matter is your gurus are human, they’re people just like you and I. They put their pants on one leg at a time just like everyone else. And, like everyone else, they experience overwhelm once in awhile too. Don’t assume that others have it all together all the time and that you’re the only one who deals with overwhelm. Don’t beat yourself up for being in overwhelm. That only makes it worse. Know that you are not alone.

What can you do about it? Get into an environment that is going to support you but not tell you it’s ok to check out when it’s not ok to check out. There is a fine line between being supportive and being an enabler.

The reason I created the Book Yourself Solid program in the way that I did is because I found that everyone gets into overwhelm, but when they come together and explore, and experience, and learn, and have success together, they reduce overwhelm. And when you reduce overwhelm it’s a lot easier to think bigger about who you are and what you offer the world, and you cannot book yourself solid until you do start thinking bigger about who you are and what you offer the world. That’s the fact, Jack!

You’re going to have to work hard, harder than you may have ever worked before. You’re going to do things you’ve never done before, and in fact, if you come into any of my programs I’m going to ask you to work really darn hard, and you would expect nothing less of me, but hard work is not something we should shy away from. And, there’s a difference between hard work and struggle. Working hard on your business doesn’t have to be full of struggle when you’ve got the guidance and support of a program full of big thinkers, like Book Yourself Solid.
