How I overcame anxiety & started building a business during the pandemic.

// THREAD //

Around 2 years ago I was in a hole mentally.

Stressed
Unhappy
No direction
Wasn't eating
Panic attacks
Having night terrors 3x a night

But I had the courage to turn it around.

After 6 months of intensive therapy, my mindset had shifted beyond belief.

Write your thoughts out
Speak to people

You'll thank me later

I started reading every business book I could find.

Rich dad poor dad
The millionaire fastlane
$100 start up

You name it, I read it.

I recommend reading when you feel uninspired.

Hearing stories of others success gives you the boost you need.

My first 3 ideas failed, but I kept looking for new opportunities.

You can suffer defeat, but you're only defeated when you give up.

I taught myself how to generate leads using LinkedIn.

Then booked 9 sales calls in 5 days.

I started putting my new skill to use & started selling lead generation to million $ companies.

After 3 weeks of outreach, I had landed my first 2 clients.

Both companies valued over $15M

I'm nowhere near where I want to be, but I hope this thread inspires you to take action towards your goals.

Overcome your fears & weaknesses by taking action anyway - don't let anything hold you back.
