How do you combine business with peace / happiness ?

[Nightwolf]

So I recently finished The Almanack of Naval Ravikant. I understood the business aspect (though I have some counter thoughts regarding his philosophy) and I also understood the Happiness aspect.

The thing I didn't understand was how do you combine the 2? I have started practicing how to be present in the moment. I also remind myself that nothing is going to matter when I am dead so why bother with anger, jealousy, and other negative emotions.

But when I am in that state of peace, where nothing seems to bother me and I am just being me, I can't seem to think about and focus on learning more about business at all. Nothing is bothering me, not even money. But I want to earn money. I want to start a business. I want to become successful.

Naval seems to have combined the 2 and I can't seem to fathom how.
