“How has business success changed me?”
I don’t know how much of this is down to business or growing older, but:
I worry less about the little things. I never used to worry much anyway, but now I know that overthinking is the art of solving problems we don’t have.
I think I have even more empathy and sympathy than before. It could be from being a parent and losing a parent and brother. So long as people are happy and not hurting others then all’s good. Except I now see most people aren’t, and carry a big burden of worry.
As I get more and more unscripted I get more angry at the script itself, and want to help people break free of it. Even one starfish at a time.
Even in the past few years on this forum I’ve noticed how I give less of a hoot what people think.
I consume a lot less. I find it impossible to sit through courses that last longer than an hour. Reading business books is really hard. Books have to solve or discuss a specific problem that I’m currently facing.
I’m a lot blunter and to the point. People have even told me. Not rude, just to the point.
I don’t try to rush things. Things take their time, and I try to enjoy the journey.
