About this episode
There are only two types of entrepreneurs right now: The fearful and the excited. I spoke to over 98 entrepreneurs recently and those are the two buckets that instantly stuck out. And it makes sense: people are afraid of losing their businesses right now. Think about all the restaurant owners that spent 20+ years putting their blood sweat and tears into the business. Or the store in the shopping mall that has had no choice but to close it doors. Many of those entrepreneurs are paralyzed by fear right now and aren't sure what to do next. On the other hand, I spoke to two close friends over the weekend and the mindset is world's apart: They're genuinely excited. Why? Because they see the world differently: Instead of being upset at lost revenues, they're pumped about new opportunities.
Instead of being worried about the short term outlook, they know they'll emerge stronger than ever.
They take EXTRA good care of their team during this time (even the ones that were let go).
If you can be excited, you'll have an unfair advantage that will carry you far.
