Conflicting Agendas
One of my agendas is to be a great father. Another of my agendas is to grow my business.
So the question is: Can these two agendas coexist?
The answer is: It depends. It depends on my perspective.
If I view things from an either or perspective then one happens at the expense of the other. If I’m working on my business then I’m not being a good father. If I’m being a good father then I’m not being a good entrepreneur. So I either have to choose one to the exclusion of the other or be mediocre at both.
A much more useful perspective is “and both”. I can be a great father and a great entrepreneur. One can feed the other.
Look for “either or” in your life and upgrade it to “and both” and set yourself free to get more of what you want.
Much Love,
Jonathan
