The entrepreneurial journey is full of highs and lows\u2026and yes, I acknowledge that the same could be said of any job - BUT, it\u2019s somehow different when you\u2019re running the show.
There is potential for higher highs, lower lows, and you're ultimately responsible for all of them.
In this episode (taken from The Cliff Ravenscraft Show) Cliff and I discuss how to deal with this reality from the perspective of a business owner...How to achieve equanimity and maintain a positive attitude at least 99% of the time (nobody is perfect).
