BRX Pro Tip: Appreciate Yourself
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with BRX Pro Tips. Lee Kantor and Stone Payton here with you. Lee, one of the keys, I think, to remaining sane and, probably, to continue the effectiveness is to simply appreciate yourself.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:16] Yeah. I think as an entrepreneur, business leader, it’s hard, and you got to take a moment to kind of just own that, and appreciate yourself, and appreciate that it is a hard thing you’re trying to do here. Every business leader and entrepreneur is a little crazy, a little stubborn, relentlessly optimistic and hopeful. So, you got to take that moment periodically and appreciate that, “Hey, I’m taking a risk most other people wouldn’t. I’m trying to do something that’s difficult, and it has a high probability of not working out exactly as I pictured in my head, but I’m going boldly forward. I’m going to fight the good fight.”
Lee Kantor: [00:00:58] So, in order to do that every day, you got to give yourself some grace and some slack. And you got to find the other people who believe what you do. And that way, you can go forward together. So, you got to find your people, you got to find your tribe, you got to serve the heck out of them, and just try to get a little better every day, and you’re going to get there. But just take a moment and just appreciate that this is hard work, and you’re not going to be perfect, you’re going to make mistakes, you’re going to go down rabbit holes that don’t work out, but just keep kind of plugging away, keep grinding every day, and good things will happen.
