How to Survive and Thrive The Start Up Journey
To Scale Your Business You Must Scale Yourself
Business is a human enterprise, driven and determined by people. People are the most important asset and it all starts with you, the founder. Your own growth, as the founder, will act as an accelerant or a drag on the the growth of the business.
Knowing yourself or self-awareness is the foundation of being a great entrepreneur. If you know your true purpose, how you want to behave and act day to day, how to play to your strengths, how to mitigate your weaknesses, how to manage your ego, how to handle the stress, to understand how others see you and what impact you have on others – you are much likely to be able to master the skills necessary for high performance and ultimately success.
The best leaders understand how to lead and manage themselves first.
“Self-awareness is the meta-skill of the twenty-first century… the qualities most critical for success in today’s world – things like emotional intelligence, empathy, influence, persuasion, communication, and collaboration – all stem from self-awareness.”
