Acknowledge the Anxiety
Acknowledge the Anxiety

Everyone gets it.

Whether you are on line (an actual line, not the internet) at Best Buy with a $120 printer in your hand, or you are ready to sign the deal to put a new roof on your house, you get it. We all do - it's called "purchase anxiety."

That feeling in your stomach, that buzz, that uncomfortable feeling…
