Your brain is a prediction machine.ย

If youโ€™ve spent 20+ years as an employee, your brain has reinforced one story:


๐Ÿ‘‰ ๐—œย ๐˜„๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ธย ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟย ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒย ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜€๐—ฒ.ย

So, when you even ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธย about consulting, your brain sounds the alarm. ๐Ÿšจ


Your ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜†๐—ด๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฎย (๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ฟย ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ) kicks in, triggering doubt and hesitation.
