Jake Burhans says building a business while stuck in fight-or-flight mode drains you and kills your ability to think and execute. You need to deliberately cultivate calm and peace first. That's what actually enables sustainable growth.
How you gonna build a business acting like you're gonna get eaten by a lion? It just ain't gonna happen. You can't think, you can't execute, you can't deal with anything, right? Like, your ability to deal with emotional situations is so much lower because you're running on overdrive all the time. You're running on fight or flight. So if something comes up in work, something comes up in a personal relationship, you have no emotional bandwidth to deal with it because you're so drained running in fight or flight all the time. That's why this inner state is the key to building. As we build, we need to cultivate this inner state of peace and, and calmness so that we can execute to the, to the highest extent. And this thing about fear, okay.
