Hey,
I shared this story last month on Facebook… but it’s too good to not share again!
So, I was driving down I-20…
And pulled up behind this guy who’s trailer had all sorts of nasty smoke pouring out the back of it.
I really thought the thing was about to catch fire!
So I got out and helped him take a look…
And it turns out that the rear brakes had completely locked up.
While the driver thought he was struggling because of the load he was carrying…
It turns out his brakes were locked and he had no idea!
Now, this might sound strange.. but hear me out:
The very first thing I thought of once I got back in my truck…
Was that this is EXACTLY how most people operate when it comes to business.
They put their own “brakes” on without even realizing it…
And get completely caught up in negative things like Fear, Anxiety, or Not Believing in Themselves…
Sometimes they make awful decisions as a way to self-sabotage…
And sometimes they claim that everyone’s out to ‘get them’, and that no business out there is real…
No matter which of these things they do, they do it to themselves…
Yet they still wonder why they’re not able to succeed!
Now look, sometimes it’s even tempting to just jump right into something new.
But what I recommend to everyone who’s thinking about starting a business…
Is to pause, take a good look at life and see what’s holding you back.
You gotta check whether or not your brakes are on!
Otherwise you’ll just be strugglin’ along, having no idea why things seem so hard.
Sure, you could reach your destination driving with the brakes on, just like that guy on I-20 planned on doing.
But trust me, you can save so much time and energy by simply taking a pause…
Take a good, hard look at how we’re holding ourselves back…
Then fix that problem and get back to moving at full-speed-ahead!
This kinda thing can make a night and day difference in how you run your business.
And I bet you’d be amazed how fixing your brakes will make a positive difference in so many other areas of life too!
Well, that’s all I got for today. Hope you found this little story of mine useful 🙂
Thanks for reading!

P.S. In addition to all the training inside DSF, we also host weekly ‘Kingdom Mandate’ calls..
Where for anyone who feels like they could use the help…
We dissect their business and what they’re doing to see why they might be struggling.
So if like so many others, you feel like you’ve been living life with the brakes on…
You didn’t think I’d leave you to fix ‘em all on your own.. did you!?
If you want to see if what we do as Digital Tentmakers is a fit for you…
