Let’s get real for a second.
That creeping little voice whispering, “What if I never get another client? What if this whole business thing tanks and I have to crawl back to hygiene with my tail between my legs?” Yeah… that fear? She shows up for everyone. Even me.
And here’s the kicker: fear loves to dress up like logic. It tries to convince you that spiraling about the future somehow protects you. But the truth? It just keeps you stuck.
In this episode of The Myo Life Podcast, I shared the simple yet powerful mindset shift that helped me shut down the spiral and take back control.
It starts with this: solve the “what if” problem now.
When I learned this exercise from one of my business coaches, it hit me like a freight train. If the worst happened—if I didn’t earn another dollar—how long could I keep going?
For me, the answer was clear: my emergency fund covers six months of living expenses. Which means I could keep showing up, working my business, and chasing clients for at least five months before needing to find a job.
The second I said that out loud? I exhaled.
Because now that fear had a shelf to live on. Labeled. Dated. No longer running the show.
Here’s the thing: fear doesn’t disappear just because you’ve made money before. I’ve had $30k months. I’ve also had $3k months. That’s the nature of business. But solving the “what if” means you stop giving fear the keys to your calendar.
So here’s your homework: figure out your runway number. Write it down. And then… get back to work.
You’ve got proof you can do this—or a strategy to start from if you haven’t yet. Either way? You’re in motion now.
And hey—if you’re not sure what your next move should be, that’s what I’m here for. Whether you’re just starting out and need the Ditch Hygiene Academy™, or you’re ready to grow and need the Myo Business Accelerator™, I’ve got you covered.
Stop spiraling. Start solving. Go build the business (and life) you’re bonkers about.
Cheering you on 😘,
