Hernan Vazquez describes losing a merger deal and the depression that followed. His fix: take immediate action, any action, to feel in control again. He wrote a webinar script and funnel instead of sitting with it.
Do you want to know the cure for entrepreneurial depression? Well, stay tuned because in this video we're gonna talk about that. Hey everyone, what's up? Hernan Vazquez here and welcome to another video. And thank you once again for the likes, the comments, the share, the subscription, everything that you have been giving me over the past couple of months. It's been a blast. And I hope that this channel really helps you guys out. Now on this video, I wanted to discuss real quick entrepreneurial depression, or what happens when you feel stuck, what happens when you're feeling depressed, what happens when you're feeling overwhelmed. Well, the reality is that this comes because I really had really, really bad news over the past week. Long story short, a fusion that was supposed to happen with my Spanish company didn't end up happening. because one of the partners decided to back off, and that really hit me really hard because, you know, I was putting a lot of effort, et cetera, et cetera, and I was kind of, I wouldn't say depressed, but I was kind of, you know, bummed for 48, maybe, yeah, 48, maybe 72 hours. And one of the things that I discovered, or rediscovered rather, or remembered rather, is that when you start feeling depressed, what you need to do is to take action. And the cure for entrepreneurial depression is action. If you're feeling stuck, you need to take action. Doesn't matter what you do, a little action that will move you forward. If you're feeling that you don't know what to do next, just take action. It doesn't really matter. Like, honestly, it doesn't really matter what you do as long as you're doing something that will inch you forward to your dreams or to your goals or whatever you're trying to do. If you haven't hit your goals for this past quarter or past 3 months, you need to take action. I'm a firm believer that action and movement trumps it all. So what I did was to grab all of that depression and anger, etc., etc., and I crafted a badass webinar script, and I crafted a badass webinar funnel out of that, which, you know, turned out to be really damn good, you know? So I knew that that was a good thing because usually things are, for the most part, they are good and they, you know, they bring better results in the future, but at the time I was really pissed, so I started doing, I started writing a script for one of my best webinars so far, you know? So I wouldn't say that that event triggered that, But I would say that my response to that triggered that, meaning you need to start taking action. Pick up the phone, make a new blog post, put up a new ad, send a new email, do something, okay? Pitch a new investor, whatever you need to do, code a new line, whatever you need to do in order to take you out and to start feeling in control of your fate again, because if you're an entrepreneur like me, You like to feel in control of your future. In fact, that's exactly why we do what we do, right? So if you're feeling stuck, if you're feeling overwhelmed, if you're feeling depressed, just take action and take it now. Do not wait for inspiration. Do not wait for anything else. Everything that you need to do is right here, right now. You have the tools, so go ahead and take action. I'm sorry for the rant.
