In this episode Eric shares golden golden golden multiple golden :-) nuggets about being an entrepreneur and how he changed his relationship with food to get healthy before he started "Wildfit".
Eric says as an entrepreneur your mental health is everything, your ability to be in a good mood as you don't want to make decisions when you are in a bad mood and those decisions are going to take you in wrong direction.
If somebody is running low energy because they are not eating well their body goes in survival mode and in survival mode you will always take the safe road and in entrepreneurship if you are going to take safe road you are going to get no where.
You have to take calculated risks but when you are low energy its difficult to take calculated risk as well, especially now during PANDEMIC (corona virus) you are so afraid of the future, the virus, falling economy that most entrepreneurs will start going into a more negative mindset, more preserving mindset, a secure safety mindset and most of us will try to make safe decisions, which means we are stopping to take risk. But some of the biggest and most valuable companies in the world where started during recessions, where started during the time when reinventions were required, but if you have got bad relationship with food it makes it a lot harder to make those kind of decisions. This is the time we need to make some wise changes to stay healthy mentally, physically and emotionally, so as an entrepreneur we can make best decisions.
Three rules Eric follows in his business to be successful:
- He keeps his promises (I can vouch for that :-) )
- Incremental improvement
- Recruit and bring in best people
