I try to limit my consumption of news by not even watching the news. I don't even own a TV. Lol!

235. How NOT to let the news discourage you (for the D.I.Y. Rock Star)
Video Description

Not that we haven’t talked about this one before—see our https://bit.ly/blogmas2021blog , but this particular post was inspired by Ruth Soukup (of the Do It Scared podcast ) email newsletter. Her big idea is that, with all the bad news that’s going on in the world today, it’s important for an entrepreneur to maintain a strong, hopeful frame of mind. In order to do that, she suggests that folks do five things.  –And, of course, we added three more suggestions.

Check out the episode to hear the full discussion and check out our blog post: https://bit.ly/235healthymindsetblog
