Is it the world or is it how you view the world?

“The world’s apparent chaos is only a reflection of our own inner turmoil.” – Michael Gerber

The problem isn’t the world. It’s us. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Are you going to react poorly? Are you going to let your emotions get the best of you? Control yourself. Control your responses. If you can’t do that, you are just a grown up, older child. Be mature and don’t act on impulse.

Building a business

when you are building a team, try to go from “I do it” to “we do it” to “they do it.” This is when you are a true business owner. Before that, you are merely self-employed.

“I Do It.” – At first, you probably will have to do everything. You’re the CEO, COO, CFO, Sales Manager, Salesman, Director of IT, and janitor.

“We Do It.” – Eventually, you’ll hire people to help you, delegating some responsibilities, but you will still be working in the business as well.

“They Do It.” – Finally, you need to get to the point where you can remove yourself from the business and it will still run.

If you have to be present for the business to run, you own a job. You don’t own a business yet.
