We fear many things in life and the most common of them all is failure. People are afraid of failing and don’t know what to do when they’re down. Failure is like the end for them and they couldn’t think beyond it. In this episode, I have discussed how to survive and rise again when you’re drowning. We often take a lot of the burden of things that are out of our hands and do not focus on the things that are actually in our control. Find out your strengths and focus on them. My two strengths are that I’m futuristic and strategic. I love planning through strategies and making them work. Make necessary changes in your management pattern to put ease in your work. Our brain is not designed to take all of that load at once and process it. If you’re going to do that, you’ll mess up yourself instead what you should do is you must do that one thing that you’ve been holding back. Identify your daily tasks and figure out which one will impact your brain the most.   Subscribe and Listen on YouTube HERE: https://www.youtube.com/AllieBjerk Subscribe and Listen to The Allie Bjerk Show podcast HERE: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
