NOTES

• [00:36] Kevin: Today, we’re going to be talking about the art of overcoming overthinking
• [01:00] If you wouldn’t mind telling our listeners a little bit about where you came from and what inspired you to get to where you are today?
• [01:10] Gabriella: I grew up with my dad being an entrepreneur, so I had the best role model
• [01:31] I had a lot of different ideas on what I wanted to do, but I always knew that I wanted to do my own thing[01:42] Now I run a few businesses all centered around travel (passion)
• [01:50] Mogul Mom- amazing dynamic women who are trying to raise a family, trying to run a business, and trying to hold it all together[02:16] Allowed me to get up close with a lot of women who have been struggling with things that I’ve been struggling with and hopefully give them a network to help them improve
• [03:10] Kevin: Going along with our topic of the day which is the art of overcoming overthinking, can you explain a little bit about what we’re talking about in regards to overthinking (specifically with entrepreneurs in businesses or corporate)?
• [03:46] Gabriella: In terms of what people aspire to be, a lot of times why they don’t ever do it is because of fear and overthinking leads to more fear (overthinking possible scenarios)[04:36] Nothing can go right or wrong if you never actually execute it
• [05:38] Kevin: If you get an idea, you’re the only one who can make something happen with that idea
• [05:43] Gabriella: Yes and we spoke before about measured risks and I think that plays a lot into this because I think what a lot of people also don’t realize is that launching your vision or even getting started doesn’t have to mean you gambled away significant parts of your life[06:03] There’s always a way to do it if you believe you can start small
• [06:12] Some ideas fail because a lot of people believe they have to make a large amount of money in a short amount of time or else it wouldn’t be worth it[06:18] That’s probably not going to happen (unrealistic)
• [06:28] Aim low when it comes to numbers because those are going to be the metrics that you’ll probably achieve and you’ll feel better
• [07:15] Goals will take hard work, rearranging things, sacrifices, loans, etc. (not instant)
• [08:26] In business, expectations are good if it’s only you involved in the equation[08:37] You’re the only one who can do it
• [08:40] If it succeeds, it’s you, if it fails, it’s you (can’t blame anyone else for it)
• [09:01] Have honest deep conversations with yourself and be happy with what gets achieved little by little
• [09:09] It’s okay to dream about the bigger picture, but don’t hang everything on it because it’s going to take time to get there
• [09:32] Kevin: What in your experience is kind of a good measure to slow down and take things at a better pace for new entrepreneurs who are trying to do everything?
• [09:39] Gabriella: I think it’s important to be clear about different levels. Write them all down and know exactly what needs to get done[09:47] Inaction is a big problem, and there’s a lot to get done, but I think why a lot of people don’t continue is because people forget, they get bored, etc.[10:03] Never losing momentum is really critical when you run a business[10:08] That could be someone to keep you on track (maybe a friend)
• [10:20] If you train yourself that there’s got to be at least one thing minimum that you do each day to make your goal happen (better chance at success) (starting small)
• [11:16] As long as you’re making some progress, that’s better than never doing it
• [12:46] Have to ask yourself: what can you do own your own so you don’t have to spend a fortune? What can I outsource to someone else? [13:23] There are so many amazing virtual assistants out there
• [13:59] Can do different things to achieve the goal and not spend so much money and have it look pretty good
• [14:23] I think people obsess over websites (logos and things that have dragged their feet for a while)[14:33] It’s much better to first have your website up before being a perfectionist
• [15:51] What has helped me and what I tell moms to do is to make your family a part of what you’re doing and make them understand why it is you’re doing what you’re doing[16:49] As long as the people in your life understand what you’re doing, it goes down a little bit easier for those times that you can’t always be present (maintaining communication)
• [17:37] Kevin: You have to take care of yourself too, because if you’re not healthy, it affects your family, friends, personal side, and greatly affects your work too
• [18:02] Gabriella: Most people say they don’t have time to do self-care, but self-care can be simple (watching your favorite tv show, read some pages of a book, etc.)
• [19:37] Kevin: Before we close for the day, I’m going to ask you for a value bomb which is something in your experience that our listeners can look to avoid and something they can do about it
• [19:52] Gabriella: The self-doubt and the fear comes up a lot in most people[20:03] There is nothing that makes anyone else better or more capable than you to do what you feel passionate about
• [20:57] Kevin: Is there anything you’d like to share with our WTR listeners?
• [21:03] Gabriella: I wrote a book called “Just F***ing Do It” and it is how I approach everything in life and it speaks to what I say[21:12] Dragging your feet never gets you anywhere
• [21:14] It’s better to have taken that chance
