Dave Kashen argues that entrepreneurs waste energy protecting a false self-image. Real leadership comes from dropping the act and leading from authenticity, love, and inspiration instead.
Here's one thing you need to figure out to become one of the best entrepreneurs in the world. You need to figure out who you really are. You see, most people are caught up with their image, identified with a set of accomplishments and achievements, and it stifles them because they're constantly attached to looking good and avoiding looking bad. When you get deeper and understand who you really are, then you can lead and build and create from a place of love and inspiration and create magic in the world. And that's the biggest difference I see ultimately between those who succeed and those who fail, is they know who they really are and don't get caught up in this image that their mind makes up about who they are.
