Embracing uncertainty helps us overcome insecurity while avoiding distractions that keep us from our goals.

Summary: Conquer Insecurity

I'm curious about some of the underlying causes of distraction (hint: insecurity). We're going to talk about one of the biggest emotions causing our distraction.

We'll also talk about VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity) and what that means for us as leaders and business owners trying to achieve big goals.

Words of Wisdom

Not only is it unclear what tomorrow will bring for business owners, but the entire world is also shifting and changing, leading to a lot of fear and uncertainty. We have to brush back the fear and be comfortable with insecurity and run into the fire anyway. — Jen
