The Myth of the Obsessed Entrepreneur

A lot of us started businesses because we wanted more freedom, flexibility and control over our time.

So how did we end up with a version of entrepreneurship where the business becomes our identity, our purpose, and basically our entire life?

I think we've lost the plot.

In this episode, we're talking about why obsession isn't the price of being a serious business owner, what happens when your business becomes too much of who you are, and how to put it back in its rightful place—so it supports your life instead of taking it over.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

• Why your business doesn't need to be your entire identity.

• Separating business outcomes from your sense of self-worth.

• The importance of having hobbies, relationships and identities outside of work.

• Why constant growth and optimization aren't always signs of success.

• The difference between being committed to your business and being obsessed with it.

• How to create more space for your life while still building a profitable business.
