A guy who moved from healthcare to construction uses a simple mental trick to stay calm: nobody's dying, nobody's bleeding. That shift helped him build thirty joint ventures with equity stakes from 5% to 50% in each.
When I got in, back in the construction, got back into service outside of the hospital, one thing I kept telling myself is, nobody's dying, nobody's bleeding, and nobody's going to live forever from this. So we're good. Don't stress it. That helped me figure life out a little bit better. But what I was able to do was also understand that by giving in that way, it allowed me to become proficient at gaining partners. I have probably 30 companies that I'm a joint venture partner in, and I have between 5 and 50% equity in those companies.
