Fear and Worry: The Sneaky Thieves of Success
In this episode, Mike Campion teams up with Suzanne Bandick to talk about something we all deal with—fear and worry. These two troublemakers love to sneak into your business and life and shut everything down. Mike reminds us that worry is just a bad habit of imagining stuff that hasn’t even happened yet. It doesn’t help you win—it just keeps you stuck.
Why Knowing Isn’t Doing
Mike shares a real talk moment: Even when business owners know what to do, they still don’t always do it. Why? Because emotions like fear hold them back. Suzanne explains that fear and worry are like invisible chains. You might have the perfect game plan, but if your brain is busy worrying, you’re not moving forward.
What If It All Goes… Right?
Here’s the wild part—most people never stop to think about what could go right. When raising prices or making a big change, we often picture losing everything and ending up broke. But what if the opposite happened? What if clients respected your new prices and your business grew? Mike and Suzanne challenge us to dream up the best case just like we do the worst.
Gratitude and Courage Are the Real Superpowers
So how do you break free? Suzanne says to train your brain like it’s a muscle. Want to stop worry in its tracks? Try gratitude. Be thankful for what you have now and what’s possible ahead. And courage? It doesn’t mean you’re not scared—it means you do it anyway. Gratitude and courage are the emotions that move you forward.
Find Your People and Be One Too
Want to grow faster? Hang out with people who focus on what can go right. Mike calls them the “Suzannes” of the world—positive, grateful, and full of courage. And guess what? You can become one too. When you change how you think, you change who you attract. So ditch the fear, choose thankfulness, and take the leap.
