Bridger Pennington on the mindset entrepreneurs need: controlling your focus and emotional state so traffic jams and small annoyances don't derail you, and learning to function through chaos.
Chapters
The next question that I want to ask you is, in my life, the majority of the times, do I focus on the things that I can control or the things that I can't control? Now, how many of you agree there's a lot of things that you can't control? Show of hands. How many of you still get pissed off in traffic? Be honest. You got a lot of work to do because if traffic's going to throw your emotional state off, good luck in business. Good luck going against someone like me because I know how to manage my emotional state, which, by the way, as an entrepreneur, your success is directly correlated to how much chaos you can withstand. Write that one down. The first thing that you can control, I just taught it. You can control your focus, but you still like to sit in your shitty diaper. The difference between me and other human beings is I have shitty minutes, y'all have shitty days, 'cause I know how to leverage my focus.
