Episode #042 – There is more to a person than just their accomplishments… there is a journey. With social media nowadays we are often misled by those that we follow. We need to remember what we see is a highlight reel and a highlight real only. We see a snapshot of the moment, a fraction of the full story.
Every entrepreneur has a dream, a set of goals in which they are setting out to accomplish. And they each have their own values, in which they should never forget.
Matt Gagnon, todays guest on the show, believes in living a life aligned with your values. We all have up to five core values - that when honoured, evoke the best in us. The problem is that many people live life with values defined by others, leaving one feeling empty and like they are never enough.
It causes us to become fixated on the things that do make us feel whole and good about ourselves. It’s addiction. Matt first discovered this when he became addicted to praise. Not drugs or alcohol, or the things that people most commonly associate addition to – praise. And for 15 years Matt sold himself to the corporate lifestyle.
Sold himself to the point Matt had to go on medical leave with several severe and life-threatening health issues. Matt wasn’t set up in the perfect position to pursue self-employment. In fact, he was in quite the opposite. He barely had the energy to work 40-hour months. But it’s incredible what you can achieve when your back is up against the wall.
I hope you enjoy this episode of CEO Journals.
