What does it really mean if you are always running project to project?
Episode 98
Are you numbing yourself out with your business? Hi, this is Penny. Welcome back to Design Your Destiny. And this is something that I see as I stand back and I observe a lot of very successful people who are entrepreneurs and they race from one big launch, project, or business deal to the next. Now don't get me wrong, I understand how business works. We can't just take our foot off the gas and stop and just let everything go. Not when we're talking very large businesses when we need to be evolving product lines, streamlining services, adapting to the market. I totally get all of that. But have you ever thought to yourself if I wasn't spearheading a big project, if I wasn't about to go into a launch. If I wasn't creating a new product, I don't know what I would do with myself. Like I really just don't know what I would do with myself. All I know is throwing myself into my business. Then you are really treading into dangerous territory from a mental, emotional, and physical health standpoint. because when we stay in that state of always on, of always having to be on our toes, to go, to anticipate, to be vigilant, even hyper vigilant to things that could crop up and cause issues in our business, we're staying in a constant state of stress activation.
[00:02:50] One of the newest fads going around is for people to reveal, you know now that you've left your past job or profession, what's a big scam that no one knows about. And I'm going to tell you that disease is a scam. And here's what I mean by that. Over 90% of all doctors' visits are due to symptoms and conditions caused by stress. Everything from low back pain, to autoimmune disease, to high blood pressure, to heart disease, diabetes, asthma, the list goes on. These things are due to stress activation. And one thing that I know about most very high level entrepreneurs that I have connected with the one thing that they want is they want longevity. They want a happy life. You want longevity, you want a vibrant, vital life. And if you're burning the candle at both ends, and you're staying under this constant high pressure, it has probably crossed your mind that you know what, I'm probably not gonna live another 10 years. This is something that was just related to me recently. You know, I'm just going from one thing to the next. I probably won't live another 10 years. And this person is younger than I am. So that's a very stark realization as to what is going on in this process. A lot of people think of stress as having a lot of things happening in your life. That's not the only place that stress comes from.
[00:04:42] Stress comes from mental pressure. It comes from emotional pressure. It comes from pressure in the past. So imagine. If you're going into this big launch and things are going really well, however, in the past you had one launch that really if you could just take that section of your life and you had a big, giant eraser, and you could just wipe it the fuck outta your mind, you would all of the emotion, the interpretations, the meaning and the beliefs that were created around that, they're going to be in your subconscious underneath the surface. Your mind is going to be constantly searching and comparing. Now that's not the same as learning. We can learn from an experience and not have any emotional issue with it, if we learn that lesson and we accepted it and we let it go. But if we're in a state of comparison or like, oh, we can't let this happen again, rather than starting fresh and starting anew, that is running underneath the surface. And your mind is looking for ways to avoid the pain that you experienced before. So there can be a lot of stress coming in, and that could be one of the reasons you find yourself running from one project to the next.
[00:06:02] Is there a part of you that has to prove to yourself that you can repeat your success? Because maybe a part of you thinks you just happen to be in the right place at the right time
