When D-day arrives and elite athletes are about to jump into the arena, trying to compensate for the missed training sessions during the preparation process is pointless. Their success will depend only on their consistency in the previous months. It is the same for social entrepreneurs regarding our spiritual and mental readiness.
The only difference is that we never know when life will throw us onto the field and make us play the biggest game of our lives.
Today, we talk about how to keep it together when life hits us with a two-by-four. Last Autumn, what started as a routinary rotator cuff surgery in one of my husband's shoulders developed into a rare condition that not only threatened his life but caused him tons of excruciating pain. Unexpectedly, life forced us to put our lives on hold and pushed us into the arena with no other weapons than our love, faith, and the tools we forged in the good times.
Tune in and listen to the sixty-first episode of Avant-garde Entrepreneur. You'll hear about my experiences as a caregiver, the lessons learned during these difficult times, the five things that helped me the most to keep it together during this massive crisis, and much more.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- How ready are we to eat our own cooking? (1:50)
- That moment when life shows us who is in charge of things (4:00)
- The benefits of going small and delegating (13:10)
- Value your quiet time (15:20)
- The power of meditation and focusing on what we want to feel, not what we're going through (18:30)
- Trust your team (21:00)
