That Growth State Michael Ostrow

This episode is about understanding anxiety and what we should do about it.



Even though anxiety sucks to feel, it's an important feeling. Anxiety is telling you that something needs to change. That action needs to be taken. When you ignore your anxiety, it gets louder and more painful. You become freer when you acknowledge your anxiety and take action to improve it.

It's ever important to invest in yourself. Investing in yourself might look like reading, podcasts, online courses, calls with a mentor, etc.

In this podcast, I sat down with Sean Patrick Oatney to learn about how he became such a successful salesman. He shares inside tricks that help him stay focused, be the best and most efficient self possible, and how he supports the growth of his children in the process.

It's often difficult to still our mind or be present in the moment..

Often times, we are thinking about the past or future..

Liana Cameris speaks about how we can still our minds and be more present, which can help improve our focus.

My biggest takeaway: Every once in a while when you need to take a deep breath, exhale first then inhale.

Can playing video games be good for you?

We need to ensure we're doing the things that bring us joy.

There has been segments of my life where I don't play video games because I'm trying to "adult" or I forget to play games because I'm too busy working.

What happens with too much work and no play?

Some people love hiking, some people love being outdoors, some people like binging on Netflix, some people like video games, etc.

In this episode, we sit down with Henry Hornstein and pick his brain about video games.

#5 Find a mentor and use your time wisely..

Save time by having a mentor.

How do you find a mentor?

If you see someone you admire, just walk up and start a conversation. Ask questions you're truly interested in. Your enthusiasm and genuine interest will show through.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." - Wayne Gretsky

I even think about this with dating.. Go walk up to someone and talk to them, don't miss the opportunity..

If you truly desire something, you need to go after it. Realize that the feeling of nervousness is actually the same as excitement.

Rather than hop onto social media or start looking at random things. Start with something that can grow your mind. Watch a motivational video first thing when you wake up. This could be on exercising if you're about to hit the gym first thing. Or watch a motivational video with what your focus on in life is - that could be sales, mindset, etc. ORRRR you could just listen to one of That Growth State Podcasts each morning and start your day by getting your mind into an incredible growth state.

You are the accumulation of the 5 people you spend the most time around. Spend time around positive people and become more positive. Spend time around negative people and you'll become more negative. Find mentors and people who inspire you, then seek to find time to spend around them.
