Why Business Owners Get Anxiety (And How To Fix It)
I wasn’t anxious because I was broken, I was anxious because I was operating from outdated mental programming.
Back in 2024, I doubled my business from what it was in 2023.
I was earning the most money I’d ever earned and growth was explosive (on the outside)...
But I'll never forget one morning when I was having a coffee at my local cafe and I got hit with a wave of intense dread and anxiety for the week ahead.
I was looking at my calendar which was packed from early in the morning to late in the afternoon for the rest of the week.
On the inside, I was anxious, burning out and feeling a deep sense of shame.
I was forcing myself into an operating system that I knew was not going to be sustainable and my mind and body were starting to send me signals that I was pushing too far down the wrong path.
The anxiety wasn’t a weakness, it was a sign to tell me that something need to change.
This is what I believe anxiety really is at the core, it’s a complete mind, body, spirit issue.
When you’re not taking action that’s aligned with who you really are inside, anxiety will show up as a warning sign.
Most people think anxiety means you’re broken, it doesn’t.
It means that you're disconnected from your truth and you don't feel safe.
The physical symptoms you get?
They’re literally telling you that you don’t feel safe in your own body.
The mental noise you can’t silence?
It’s showing you the outdated belief systems that you need to change.
If you don’t trust the person you are being and the person you’re becoming, anxiety will show it’s head to confirm that something is wrong.
The reset happens when you learn to listen to that voice within.
When you learn to feel safe in your own mind and body.
When you learn to choose thoughts that allow you to feel peaceful even when it's like the whole world is caving in on you.
This is what I help business owners do with the Mind Launch Method.
I know you’re not looking for another framework, tool or tips on how to “manage anxiety”.
You’re looking for a full-system reset so you can:
- Stop feeling like a failure to your partner or kids.
- Stop losing control of your frustration and impatience.
- Start being calm in all situations regardless of circumstances
If this feels uncomfortably familiar, you’re in the right place.
Here’s how you can achieve that by upgrading to a new operating system with the Mind Launch Method:
Step 1) Regulate your nervous system to find inner peace.
If you can’t find peace within yourself, you’ll keep replaying the same patterns of reactive behaviour over and over again.
When you learn to stay calm in all situations, you’ll be able to go home at the end of the day and actually enjoy time with your loved ones.
Step 2) Reprogram your belief system and shift into a new mindset.
This is where you start to regain control of the negative thoughts and overthinking so you don’t feel like you’re going crazy.
Step 3) Reset your identity and upgrade your operating system.
Finally, you move away from the destructive cycles and behaviour that has kept you trapped for so long and you start to get into alignment with your true self.
A version of you that feels authentic, confident and stoked about life again.
In January 2026, I'm building Mind OS.
It will be the fastest, simplest and most straight-forward path for personal transformation I've created.
It'll be the culmination of 15 years of my own personal development + the last 5 years of helping clients professionally.
It's being specifically designed for business owners with busy schedules who look successful from the outside, but are struggling on the inside.
I’ve been there before, I know it sucks.
If you want help to get this under control so you don’t repeat another year of the same shit, here’s what to do…
I’m launching the new program on Monday the 12th of January 2026, but if you secure your Early Bird spot before Christmas by joining the waitlist, you will Save $1,000 off the program investment.
Go put your name on the waitlist and I’ll email you out the early bird pricing within the next 24 hours.
Let's make 2026 the year you end the cycle and become the person you can be proud of for the rest of your life.
With Optimism,
Josh
