An entrepreneur explains how to stay focused by treating your work like professional sports. Exercise, diet, and rest aren't optional. The speaker learned this playing hockey and applies it to building a business.
How do you maintain energy and focus? Entrepreneurship. I treat it this exact same way that I would treat playing a professional sport. I try and go to the gym four or five times a week. I eat really healthy. I consume minimal alcohol. I go to sleep as early as I can. I try and stay well rested. So even though everything that we're doing, especially writing, is a very mental thing, I think of it the same way that I would playing professional sports. I played hockey all growing up. I wanted to play in the NHL. So I try and keep that same lens on whatever it is that I'm doing.
