Super Hero AND Entrepreneur

Being an Entrepreneur offers great opportunities. It can also cause immense stress for you, your friends, and your family. 

The prospects of being your own boss. Having CONTROL! Leaving when you feel like leaving for the day. 

And then, reality strikes. You can't pull yourself away. The job follows you WHEREVER YOU GO...

Stress mounts. And then... you take it home with you.

Grab your cape, we are about to make you a superhero! Just follow these tips we came across while perusing Entrepreneur Magazine:

1. Practice Presence:

The practice of presence is foundational to quieting our mind, releasing our thinking and analyzing and fixing and solving, for a while. Practicing presence includes bolstering our mindfulness, which involves closely attending to our experience of the present moment, without any effort to improve it or change it at all.  

2. Engage IN Empathy:

Empathy is the ability to understand someone so thoroughly that you can truly imagine walking in their shoes. It turns out, most of the time, your people at home don’t want you to fix something for them, they want you to feel something with them. You can’t fake empathy, even with your superpower, so don’t try to fake this.   

3. Ask for Accountability:

The practice of presence and engaging with empathy are marathons and won't happen overnight. All marathons require training and many months or years of preparation. Running partners help. Think about inviting a friend or colleague into any project you participate in, but especially with an accountability project. Get someone serious about helping you with the empathy project, because presence and empathy work is a true quest to fine-tune the most important superpower you can own.
