As a kid, I believed you had to do things that far surpassed the ordinary if you wanted to be extraordinary. I saw others succeed due to long-term vision, an incredible work ethic and a willingness to take risks. I figured I would hit my entrepreneurial milestones in record time as long as I went the extra mile.
It's true that being a successful entrepreneur involves drive, discipline and a willingness to go above and beyond. What I didn't understand is that those traits are wasted if you don't also maintain a healthy mindset. You can push yourself to the brink of exhaustion and strive for greatness, but you'll burn out if your brain isn’t balanced.
