My biggest problem in life and as an entrepreneur: stressing about things I cannot control.
I stress constantly about everything. About getting new clients, about taxes, about my website.. like literally mind my is being constantly occupied by these things I have none control over.

I'm a perfectionist. Whenever something goes wrong or not according to my plan, or something unexpected comes up - I literally stress like crazy and think about it constantly, and I can't let it go. And these things literally happen all the time in business - unexpected things come up on regular basis.

Seriously, how do I let it go?
