I know so many entrepreneurs who make millions of dollars inside of their business, but have no freedom and compromise their health along the way.
For the longest time early on in my entrepreneur career, my wife used to always tell me is it worth it when you lose everyone you love in the process.
That really struck home for me and opened my eyes to the reality of what was actually taken place.
As an entrepreneur, it is OK to spend more time building systems and processes that will help eliminate you from the process so you can enjoy the freedom you so desire.
Also, emotional intelligence comes into play when choosing to let some things bother you or not. You will never please everyone and some people just naturally want trouble or feel entitled to certain things.
You have the choice to let things bother you or not.
This is coming from someone who has always been reactive to the environment around them…
If something wasn’t going my way I had to find a way to prove I’m right. Maturity and emotional intelligence allows you to be aware of what’s going on around you And to have self-discipline to control oneself.
I’ll ask you the same question my wife always reminded me of, Is it worth it when you lose everyone you love in the process?
And never forget, the way you respond has the power to change any situation.
