I just found out.
I was missing him so I sent him a text.
I don't often use the term mentor and I don't look up to many people.
He did it to himself.
He had done things in business I aspire to. We'd been discussing partnerships. Amongst other accomplishments, he had built two powerhouse organizations in my industry. But the stress always got to him and he turned to the bottle. He didn't live healthy. It's the kind of thing I just wrote about in my post on leadership.
I wrote that the day he passed.
Sigh.
Entrepreneurs can easily fall into the trap of neglecting themselves (or their loved ones) and just "powering through".
I need something good to come from tragedy. I'm posting this in the health thread because as MJ said, its our most important asset.
So please, if you are struggling with alcoholism or addiction, get help. Here's some inspiration from the forum. Need to lose weight? Consider intermittent fasting. (It worked wonders for me.) And while I'm at it... sell the motorcycle.
Maybe take this chance to call an old friend you haven't talked to in forever.
And don't forget to make time for your loved ones. Hug 'em tight.
Take care of yourselves, Fastlane Fam.
