Finding Happiness as an Entrepreneur
In this episode of Startup Hustle, Andrew Morgans and David Meltzer, Founder of David Meltzer Enterprises talk about how to achieve happiness as an entrepreneur.
Are you prioritizing your health? What are you prioritizing exactly? Did you know that 80% of most humans are spending 80% of their time on things that bleed them?
Most everyone would agree that happiness is the ultimate goal. David encourages taking a precursor step - by first learning coherence. The lesson of coherence has two simple parts: remember to do something, and actually do it.
Learn about the direct correlation between gratitude & happiness and why it's equally important to be both a giver and a receiver.
