An entrepreneur explains why he now tracks his mood and energy throughout the day. He says emotional intelligence directly shapes business decisions, and past mistakes taught him that being out of tune with his feelings costs money and creates conflict.
phase of my life, becoming an entrepreneur, I have to be very mindful about how I'm feeling. And most people get up every day and they don't check their own temperature. You know, it's like Ice Cube say, you got to check yourself before you wreck yourself. You know, and you should always be consciously connected to your mood, your attitude, and your energy. And so that's my challenges. I've grown, I've got very emotionally mature around it, but my challenges along the way was not being in tune with but how I was feeling and the impact it was having on the decisions I was making at that time. So it's very, very important to, to keep EI front and center in all the decisions that you make, and especially in the workplace, especially in the workplace, because that's where a lot of people struggle. Because again, they run across things in a work environment that they don't like, they don't agree with, or they simply don't understand.
I was literally kicked off a Southwest flight before for being disrespectful.
