Are you building your dream business or someone else's? Are you doing the things YOU need in order to be successful or what someone else has told you to do? It's easy to look at high-performing entrepreneurs and feel like you aren't doing enough. They seem to always be winning awards, getting invited on podcasts and having their work featured in all of the high profile magazines. Maybe they get up at 5am and have a crazy morning routine. Is that you though? Is that what you really want? I think we are missing an important concept. We aren't comparing apples with apples. It's a powerful idea that doesn't get spoken about enough. I just spent 20 minutes unpacking it in my latest podcast episode and it might be the difference between you feeling inferior and feeling content. There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to entrepreneurship. And if you want to achieve the life and business you set out to, this episode is going to help clarify whether or not you’re on the right path - and how to get back on track.

Covered in this episode:

What your personality type says about the kind of business you should run…
…and how to figure out what your personality type is.
The hidden cost of building a business that you aren’t in alignment with.
Understanding what success looks like for you.

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
