“A lot of people actually just don't have the skill of managing how they think.” Today, Leila (@LeilaHormozi) shares with us strategies for navigating through the stressful situations of overthinking, anxiety, and fear of imperfection are discussed. She delves into the idea of 'unproductive thinking' and provides tools to overcome this. She also explores the concept of productive distraction as a helpful tool to break out from the cycle of overthinking.

Welcome to Build where we talk about the lessons I have learned in scaling big businesses, gaining millions in sales, and helping our portfolio companies do the same. Buckle up, because we’re creating an unshakeable business.
