313. What To Do If You're Stuck In Freeze State

313. What To Do If You're Stuck In Freeze State

In this solo episode of the Dropship Podcast, I talk about the "freeze state"—feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or paralyzed by fear—and how it can impact your business journey.

I share insights from the Dropship Breakthru community and offer strategies to manage overwhelm and fear, like breaking down big tasks into smaller steps and setting realistic goals.

I also stress the importance of measuring success beyond just revenue. My aim is to help you navigate these challenges and keep making progress in your ecommerce venture.
