Tips to Regulate Anxiety as a Business Owner

May 1, 2023

Being on the other side of your evolution is awesome, but getting there is extremely anxiety-provoking! 

business owner anxiety tips

I often go into an anxiety spiral when I’m staring down a scary scenario in my business – it feels like it’s going to be the end of me, but it never is. We’re often told to go for our big dreams and get uncomfortable, but do we talk about how to support ourselves and one another in that discomfort? Additionally, are we talking about what happens when taking those risks doesn’t turn out how we planned?

I’ve experienced that discomfort and anxiety a lot over the last few months, and I’ve developed a toolbelt that helps get me through & regulate my system. Here’s what has helped me in this quest to go big while battling the anxiety that arises:

-Getting alone time

-Soaking in a tub or float tank

-Movement (I highly recommend buti yoga!)

-Meditation

-Reduce your cell phone usage

-Hemp seed oil & magnesium 

-List making (do, dump, delegate)

-Looking to future excitements

This isn’t an exhaustive list by any means, but these are the things that really helped regulate me and get me through these last few months. Save this in your back pocket to bust out when you feel your body reacting to stressful situations.

Ep. 7 is out now: Creating the Vision & Mission 🧭

In the hallway between Erica’s bedroom and her daughters’ rooms hangs Theodore Roosevelt’s “Man in the Arena” quote, rewritten for women. The credit belongs to the woman in the arena, the one who dares greatly. It’s become the quote her whole life runs on, and it’s what pushed her to take a hard look at The Mina Company’s vision, mission, and purpose for the first time in years.

In this episode, Erica breaks down the difference between the three, shares the new versions she wrote for Mina (including the line with a little bite: “even when it costs us”), and explains how she turned them into real, day-to-day decisions her team makes. She also shares a simple place to start your own: notice what you’re jealous of when you see it out in the wild.

Most agencies are built to grow the invoice. More services, more add-ons, more reasons to keep you spending. It's just how the model usually works.

We wrote our purpose around the opposite instinct: to always act in our clients' best interest, even when it costs us. That line only means something if we live it in the moments where doing right by you and making more money pull in different directions.

So that's the standard we hold every decision to. When those two things conflict, you win. Not because it's the easy call, but because it's the one we'd want made if it were our own business on the line.

It's a slower way to grow. It's also the only way to build an agency people actually trust.

We believe a business should be measured by more than what it earns. So every year, we put our money where our mission is.

Behind every client campaign we run, we're also running strategy, content, and creative for organizations doing real good in our community, completely in-kind. This year that adds up to more than $18,000 in donated marketing work for local nonprofits.

We don't do it for recognition. We do it because the causes we believe in deserve the same caliber of work we'd give any paying client, and because a healthier community is good for all of us.

Ep. 6 is out now: The Season of Letting Go 🌊

When Erica’s fifth grader came home upset about a history test, the old Erica would have spiraled. Did we study enough? What does this say about me as a mom? This time, she let it go. They made a simple plan for next time and went to bed.

This episode is about that kind of letting go, with the little things and the big ones. Erica gets into how AI is shaking the ground under her business (and why she’s loving it), what it takes to step back and let your team lead even when it’s not done exactly your way, and how she makes decisions from a place of calm when everything is moving at once.
