What does it take to succeed in high-pressure situations?

How do you cope with stress?

How do you optimize performance to avoid overwhelm?

If you’re here…I know you know stress. I know you understand overwhelm. I am right there with you. But our ability to focus and shift our energy makes or breaks us as entrepreneurs. In my recent interview with Medium.com, I go into some transformative hacks to overcome stress. I hope they help you!

On my inspiration as an entrepreneur:

“It wasn’t a person. It was a loss. I found out I had been battling mold poisoning and breast implant illness for years without realizing. My zest for life quickly faded and I started battling extreme anxiety and mild depression. But I never give up. I began my 12-month health coaching certification. Shortly after graduating, I realized my passion wasn’t health coaching but taking my 10+ years of marketing and consulting experience and helping women bring their corporate skills online.”

On mistakes I’ve made along the way:

“I think I’ve made every ‘getting started’ mistake you can make! A pivotal mistake I made was investing in an ads coach. It was my biggest (and most costly) lesson and something I now teach others — show up exactly as you are. Do not try to be someone you are not. People buy true authenticity. Every level in business requires another level of being you.”

On strategies to cope with stress:

“When I feel stressed, I go back to the big vision, the dream that I have, and the reason why I am doing it. Other tactical daily things I do are: get out of my mind and into my body; journaling, and I like to break my year down into quarters.”

On my success habits:

“Good habits are everything! Start with building habits that help shift your identity. Identify where you want to be and then create habits that support the new you!”
