Whether you consider yourself an entrepreneur or not, there are facets of your life that you need to run the lead on. You may be the CEO of a major organization, or the CEO of your house and kids. The word entrepreneur comes from the French word entreprende which means 'to undertake'. When you undertake the responsibility of being the boss, it's essential that you know how to keep your health and energy up to par. Many entrepreneurs don't do well because they don't feel well. Many more entrepreneurs have no idea about the profits and impact they're leaving on the table because they don't have the energy to move on opportunities when they present themselves. As a matter of fact, they are missing on opportunities left and right because they can't even see them in the first place! There is a story of a man walking along who was always frustrated, irritated, and in poor health. He tripped over something sticking up out of the ground, and cursed at it as he stumbled to catch his balance. He never looked down, just continued on in his agitation and frustration on how life would not cut him a break. There was another man who was considered an optimist walking along. He was in good health, happy, and tended to look for the best in things. He went walking down the same path as the frustrated man and tripped over the same thing sticking up out of the ground. He caught his balance, looked down to see what it was, and it was a piece of gold that had been wedged into the earth. He exclaimed, "This is my lucky day!", and reached down, dug the piece of gold out, and went on about his day. This story illustrates that the world is what it is. And depending on your own unique perception, you'll either see abundant opportunities or you'll continue to see problems everywhere you go. Both are existing simultaneously, but it's up to you to support yourself in seeing the good, because no one else is going to do it for you. There is a huge wave of executives and entrepreneurs that are shifting their focus to self-care so that they can show up better in their business and lives.
