Six years on from his death, she reflects on how his wisdom continues to guide her business decisions—especially during challenging times. You'll learn:The one powerful question her dad always asked that changed how she approaches worry and uncertainty in businessWhy commitment through the ups and downs is essential for any long-term business successHow to assess whether your worries are actually worth your energy—and what to do insteadThe difference between dwelling on problems you can't control versus taking action on what you canWhy maintaining optimism isn't about ignoring challenges, but about choosing how you respond to themA practical exercise to identify your current worries and determine which ones deserve your attentionHow to shift from a spiral of worry to a mindset of possibility and forward momentum This episode was originally recorded during the 2020 lockdown and has been updated with new reflections for 2025. It's a reminder that we've weathered hard times before—and we can do it again.  Sponsored by Vanta AI: vanta.com/mydailybusiness  Sign the Not a Date to Celebrate petition here Connect with My Daily Business:Instagram: @mydailybusiness_TikTok: @mydailybusinessEmail: hello@mydailybusiness.comWebsite: mydailybusiness.com Resources mentioned:Vanta AIAI Monthly Chat Group for Small Business OwnersHow to Get Your Book Published course Join our AI Chat Group for small business ownersMy Daily Business courses - mydailybusiness.com/courses Special thanks to our sponsor, Vanta AI.
