Highly successful entrepreneurial leaders tend to also have a higher than average EQ.

It's so easy as a busy visionary entrepreneurial leader, with many demands on your attention, to get caught up in the busy-ness of business, and take your emotional intelligence for granted.

When you are dealing with subtle stressors like:

• chronic tolerations and small frustrations, or
• getting irritated at minor mistakes, whether made by you, someone on your team, a client, or vendor
• either dreading conversations or experiencing miscommunications
• or getting frustrated with team members not delivering to your expectations
• or even noticing yourself getting irritated at things you aren't usually irritated by (then getting irritated at yourself for getting irritated in the first place.)
• or noticing tiny mistakes or issues that slow your business' momentum (and give you that sinking exhaustion that has you girding your loins, ready to wade into fixing the things that should have been done the right way the first time.)

It's easy - and common to have the thought of "well, that's the price of doing business." It doesn't have to feel that way, though.

Yes. Mistakes and errors will happen. Business will feel like "work" and does require us to put in effort. And we can't control anything outside of our own selves.

But you don't have to feel like you are tolerating less than ideal and suffering through the process. There is a way to shift your own mental, emotional, and physical experience that can improve your results in your business, get you better results from your team and give you a more fulfilling life as an entrepreneurial leader.

Listen in to learn a simple 30-second method to increase your EQ. To shift your mind, body and emotions, so that you can catch your mental/emotional/physical stress reaction either before it starts, or before you get too deep into it. Don't miss this!
