In this post-Halloween episode, Darin shares a lesson inspired by watching his kids sort their candy after trick-or-treating. What initially looked like chaos became clarity as they organized their candy into categories — keep, trade, and toss. He encourages listeners to apply the same approach to their business as the year winds down: dump out all tasks, projects, and commitments, then sort through them to clarify what matters most. Focus on revenue-moving priorities, delegate or automate the rest, and eliminate the busy work taking up mental and calendar space. Instead of over-planning and dragging tasks into the new year, take quick action now to gain momentum and finish strong.

Welcome to Daily Show Up, where Darin explores business and personal development. Today, Darin discusses the transition from nervousness to excitement, a concept relevant to both entrepreneurship and a child's first day at a new school.
Nervousness and Excitement: A Universal Cycle
• Like an eight-year-old starting school, we often experience nervousness when embarking on new business ventures or investments.
• Nervousness is a natural reaction to uncertainty and the fear of the unknown.
• Just as a child's first day can transform into excitement, our business projects can also transition from anxiety to enthusiasm.
Paralysis by Analysis: The Pitfall of Nervousness
• Many self-employed individuals hesitate to take action due to fear and anxiety.
• Overthinking and analyzing potential outcomes can lead to inaction.
• Procrastination can keep us in a perpetual state of nervousness, preventing us from experiencing the excitement of implementing our ideas.
Taking the Leap: From Nervous to Excited
• To overcome nervousness, we must recognize it as a part of the journey.
• Start by setting small, achievable goals to build confidence.
• Seek guidance and mentorship to navigate the unknown, just like a child relies on teachers and peers for support.
• By taking action and embracing new opportunities, we can shift from a state of apprehension to one of excitement in our business endeavors.
