Recently we asked our experts on the nationally syndicated Price of Business radio show to provide some helpful advice for the turbulent times we are living in. We got some great advice.
For business professionals facing uncertainty, calm can be cultivated from within.
In business, as in life, turbulent times are inevitable. Whether it’s market volatility, personal challenges, or global crises, we are all called to navigate periods of uncertainty. But how we respond to turbulence can define the quality of our lives and our leadership. Instead of being swept away by chaos, many thought leaders and professionals are anchoring themselves in powerful, practical habits—and their insights offer encouragement for anyone seeking balance and strength.
Rooting Yourself in a Strong Foundation
Wendy Bjork, in her Igniting Your Dynamic Self series on the Price of Business Show and through HeartsOfWellness.com, reminds us that the most powerful tools in times of stress are often already within us.
“When life gets turbulent, I return to my foundation—strong mindset, loving support, body wisdom, and a healing environment. These pillars don’t just hold me up—they guide me home. No matter the storm, I rise rooted and radiant, knowing I already carry everything I need to thrive.”
Wendy’s message is clear: your personal foundation is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. Especially for business leaders and professionals, returning to practices that support mental and physical well-being can prevent burnout and rekindle clarity. Ask yourself: Are you making space for your own healing and resilience?
Letting Go of the Worry Spiral
David Wilcox of Big Fat Cat Productions, LLC, brings us a dose of grounded realism through his Seeking the Truth series as well as www.theflimflamchronicles.com and www.bigfatcatbooks.com.
“During these turbulent times, I tend to recall an article I read decades ago. It backed up with statistics that typically 96 percent of the things we spend time worrying about never really happen, and the other 4 percent are going to happen regardless. So why worry?”
This insight is a valuable Stoic like antidote to the anxiety many professionals carry daily. Overthinking drains energy and narrows perspective. David’s advice is a prompt to shift attention from hypothetical problems to meaningful actions. What would you focus on if you weren’t constantly worrying? Probably the right things — those you actually have the power to change.
Leading With Purpose in Your Own Sphere
Kathi Sohn, in her The Coaches Corner series and through KathiSohn.com, emphasizes the power of personal agency—especially in a world that often feels overwhelming.
“I strive each day to remember that in the midst of what is going on in the big world, I have the power within my own sphere of influence to contribute to solutions. I daily let God lead, and I also take the time to play and connect with nature!”
Kathi’s perspective encourages professionals to zoom in and focus on where they do have control. Small acts of leadership, kindness, creativity, or even joy—like spending time in nature—can counterbalance negativity and restore motivation. How are you showing up in your own circle?
Becoming the CEO of Your Own Health
For Dr. Ann Hester, through her Patient Empowerment series and PatientWorld.net, always reminds us that health isn’t just a medical concern—it’s a leadership responsibility.
“With healthcare in crisis—soaring costs, vanishing doctors—I’m turning inward. As a board-certified Lifestyle Medicine physician, I’m doubling down on science-backed habits to prevent, treat, and even reverse disease naturally. It’s time we all become the CEOs of our own health.”
Business people often prioritize company growth and external deadlines at the expense of their own health. Dr. Hester’s call to action is both urgent and empowering. Making conscious decisions about diet, sleep, exercise, and stress management is not just about personal well-being—it’s about sustaining your ability to lead and perform.
Conclusion: Build Inner Strength, Take Small Actions
When facing professional or personal storms, the most sustainable path forward is to nurture clarity, intention, and well-being. Whether it’s letting go of worry, reconnecting with nature, strengthening your physical health, or returning to a foundational mindset—these habits serve as anchors in uncertain waters.
The wisdom of these contributors reminds us that even in turbulent times, we are not powerless. In fact, by turning inward and acting with purpose, we often find the clarity and courage to thrive. So, what are you doing today to make your life or work better?
