Hi {{ first name | reader }},
I know firefighters who are frightened of intimacy
And deep emotion divers who won’t get on a rollercoaster.
You probably know a variant of these people, too.
I love the idea that risk is relative
(An idea so well explained in my friend Kayt Sukel’s classic The Art of Risk)
Nowadays, I will gladly get up onstage and give an hour long speech from memory
But travel somewhere without some type of itinerary? Uh-uh.
Those odd behaviors are so glaringly obvious in other people.
However, our own ideas of risk
Of No as a full sentence
Of too much
Feel as native as common sense
Though we’re, also, not being logical at all 🫠
If you’re a long-time BringYourWorth.tv viewer, you know me and Quickbooks go way back - like when I was a broke, post-grad freelance writer. It’s a great starter kit for your new business, whether you’re fresh to entrepreneurship or are building a new side hustle. It can help you file your taxes, especially if you have a simple or small business. And now Quickbooks even uses AI to find the best way for your to maximize your profits.
BringYourWorth.tv viewers get 90 percent off Quickbooks for the next 3 months if you take advantage now.
And because our Achilles’ heels are different
The reasons why we pull disappearing acts are just as unique.
Maybe the commitment feels too suffocating to our identity
Or the call of greener pastures, just past the horizon
Or the situation it vaguely reminds us of
You know how that turned out!
But no, we don’t know how this will turn out
And we won’t if we pull the plug
Especially if we don’t know
Why we’re actually
Disappearing 💨
