This YouTube video (by Louis Massaro) discusses how stress is essentially fear and stresses the importance of acknowledging widespread fear—among individuals, families, employees and customers—during uncertain times. Drawing on lessons from the 2008 recession, the speakers warn against letting fearful thinking drive rash decisions that can put businesses out of operation and encourage taking deliberate action instead of surrendering to defeat.
I'm sure everybody here feels stress.
And stress is really fear, right?
It's a code word for fear.
And we need.
To just first.
Acknowledge.
That there is just a lot of.
Fear going on in the world. And so maybe you don't feel it, but your family.
Probably feels it, your.
Employees probably feel it, your customers.
Probably feel it.
And we need to make sure that we don't make any rash decisions moving into these uncertain times. You know, having gone through the recession of 2008.
Here'S what I could tell.
You about that time. The people that went out of business.
Were the people that their.
Mind put them out of business, their thinking put them out of business.
They're throwing.
In the towel and.
Already being defeated.
Put them out of business. And what does that mean? That means that.
We start to believe the story that.
We'Re telling ourselves. But what we want to do is we want to make sure that we're not allowing them to control the thing that we can do.
