Whenever I make a decision
or try something new,
I ask myself,
“What is the absolute
worst thing
that could happen?”
Often it is survivable.
Sometimes
I have already experienced
worse.
It calms me down,
allows me to take big steps
with my business.

“The lesson,
and it’s something
I’m always working on,
is not letting myself get emotional.
Everything’s going to be OK.
And really, what’s the worst thing
that’s going to happen?
Somebody’s gift is going
to arrive the next day?
That’s OK.
They’re still going to get
freshly baked cupcakes.”
What is the worst thing
that could happen?
Can you survive it?
