\"happens<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s insidious, really.<\/p>\n

I’m referring to the thing that always<\/strong> happens a couple of weeks before<\/a> you buy a franchise.<\/p>\n

And it is a “thing<\/em>.”<\/p>\n

This:<\/h2>\n

“Should i really do this? Are my reasons good enough? WHAT IF I LOSE EVERYTHING? I hope he’s okay with this. Maybe i should talk to more people before i do this. I know i’m doing the right thing.

You need to decide if you should listen to that voice…or ignore it, and do what you set out to do<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Wait…<\/p>\n

You’re not sure?<\/p>\n

Really?<\/p>\n

Are you starting to have doubts?<\/p>\n

If so, do this…<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Re-Visit What You’ve Done<\/h2>\n

The best thing to do (when you’re having doubts about something<\/em>) is to re-visit the things you’ve done up to that point. It won’t take long, and you’ll sleep better knowing that you took a second look.<\/p>\n
