I have always been an optimistic person, even as a child. When things don’t go the way I hope they will, I make the best out of the situation by looking at what I can learn from my mistakes or the circumstances. While our brains are wired in a way that we quickly remember the bad things over the good ones, I discovered that being intentional plays a significant role in optimism and the pursuit of happiness.
In this episode, I share how the books The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey and The 7 Habits of Happy Kids by Sean Covey have impacted the way I look at being responsible and being in charge. I also share some insights I’ve learned from these books about personal development and habits you need to develop to build a good life as an entrepreneur. After all, there’s nothing better than being happy entrepreneurs.
