Be like a Yeti mug.

0:00The most successful entrepreneurs that I've encountered are a lot like Yeti mugs, and hear me out. So, you know those mugs that in the middle they can stay hot or they can stay cold independent of the external surroundings. Entrepreneurs that are really successful have to do that, too. Because at every level of entrepreneurship there's more and more noise. Can you imagine the amount of lawsuits that are ongoing in a billion-dollar company? It's all day long, every day. And so, most people spend all of their effort trying to fix their surroundings because they think that if they fix and they control everything around them, they'll feel a certain way. When in my experience it's been the reverse. If I can fix how I feel, none of these things I label as good or bad anymore. And so, then I can walk through them, through the fire, without having to get burned.
