Business is life. Life is business. If you want to be happy in your “personal life” and have a justifiable claim to inner peace and mental cleanliness, you have to succeed in business. And you can’t succeed in business unless you’ve got your shit together upstairs. And vice versa. Otherwise, it’s like a snake eating itself. A very hungry and stupid snake. The Mormons know it. The Scientologists know it. And now you know it too.
I work with clients who aren’t satisfied with mediocrity. They won’t stop until they achieve excellence. But they’re not particularly brilliant or talented. Actually, some of them are quite stupid, like our friend the very hungry snake. No, what they have is something that surprisingly few people have – real desire. And flexibility in matters of morality and basic human decency. And money to pay me.
Do you have those things? At least one of them? The money, I’m hoping?
