Exercising the Mind

The entrepreneurial muscle groups.

Becoming a better entrepreneur is analogous to becoming a better weight lifter. It takes practice, repetition, and healthy habits. Unlike lifting, the muscle groupsare intangible. They include risk aversion, focus, creativity, empathy, active listening, and rhetoric.

It was a big step for me to internalize that my difficulty doesn’t stem from a lack of knowing but, rather, a skill problem. After realizing that point, I began to take an inventory of my own shortcomings and actively improve each respective skill.

In future posts, I’ll take a deep dive on each skill and how I’m improving them.
