The High Performance Entrepreneur

I've been studying entrepreneurs for about two years now. Everything from authors, to business owners, to great bloggers and more. I've found some consistencies in all of them and I want to share a couple with you here in this post.
  1. The ability to command their brain. Using the prefrontal cortex of the brain, we have the ability to direct the other processes of our minds to a great degree. This can be trained, honed and enhanced.


  2. Conscious Communication. Some of the most effective entrepreneurs I've encountered are fully aware of how they're eye movements, tone and body effect other people's minds. Be aware of people's emotional conditions.


  3. The ability to be unrealistic. Most people have an inaccurate mental model of what's possible in the world. As entrepreneurs, we create things. We have to be completely unrealistic in our expectations and approaches toward outcomes! That alone gets me great success in creative projects.


  4. Taking care of your body. Simply put, if you put the wrong stuff in there, you'll get a low performing mind. It's harder to engage in high performance activities when you have no energy, you're full or aren't consuming cell healthy foods and drinking plenty of fluids. In addition, excercise promotes the growth of new neurons in your brain (your mind's main operational elements), otherwise known as neurogenesis. Your cognitive functioning is enhanced greatly just from an everyday exercise block.



High Performing Entrepreneurs demonstrate and engage in the above bullets consistently. There are many other elements to a high performing entrepreneur, but I have found these main components to be extremely effective! Thanks for reading, add!

    Looks like all mental placebo. If you want a real physical effect, try speed or adderall.

      I love learning about what's actually going on when it comes to topics like this! I felt as though people would call me crazy for talking about things like how the front of my brain feels "busy" sometimes..
      Thanks for sharing!

    For many years I've been involved in body building and the martial arts and I can say for sure that working out and staying fit has a great impact on you productivity.

    When you are very physical active you can feel a greater connection between your brain and body. Because of job changes and lack of physical workout resources I haven't been as physically active as I wish I was.

    So I can look at both times, physically fit and not so fit and can say with 100% fact that you have a far better chance to be successful and feel successful when you are physically fit.

    My favorite are the ability to be unrealistic and how it's so important to take care of your body. Sometimes we work so hard that we forget to rest enough and eat healthy.

    Forget all the BS you might've heard about the book, this is the real deal. (No affiliation)
    Great Reply! It's such an important thing! I can totally vouch for that book. I haven't read it myself but a great friend of mine, whom I take very seriously was raving about Trudeau literally two days ago!

    Being in the martial arts I’ve seen people do things that most people believe are impossible! There are people that no matter what will never believe but I’ve seen it personally. If they can do it so can I. It’s said sound mind sound body, but that works both ways, sound body, sound mind.
