Happiness As a Skill Built into your Business
A database of 12k Angel Investors & Syndicates Contacts
Hey guys,
I was ill this past week with a cold, but this led to some groundbreaking mindset discoveries.
I am friends with many very successful people, but 90% of them are still unhappy with their lives.
Because they have already achieved their big dreams. What’s next is usually the crippling question.
Well, if you’re still on your way to making your first million, you don’t have to worry about this just yet, but here is how to prevent this from happening to you.
Treat happiness as a skill. Make it part of the adventure and not the result of accomplishments.
Naval Ravikant said if you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy. Happiness is a skill to acquire.
I am going a step further: I think you should have happiness built into your business.
Last week, I met a guy who left his very profitable company to learn about permaculture and gardens. Fast forward 20 years from that decision, and we just hired him for the silent hotel we’re building in Portugal.
I have never seen someone doing his job with such a big smile. Not only did the permaculture company he started become 10 times more profitable than his previous one, but the joy he gets out of doing his job is priceless.
We should all be striving to be more like this guy.
