The hidden sickness that destroys most humans, mostly entrepreneurs as well. And this has been a thread that's been coming up across my desk, in my zoom calls and at the event and in coaching. I'm going to give you some energy through osmosis. I was in Mount Shasta, California a couple years ago, doing some deep men's work on myself. Six days of deep work practice, transformative work healing, some childhood trauma and really deciding on who I wanted to be in the world and making a declaration to go build this person to build this man. And I was sitting out in the grass and if you've never witnessed Mount Shasta in California, it is a sight to behold.  You can see it from, I don't know, 40, 50 miles away and we're right at the base of it. And so this thing is massive and I sat out there and I just spent a couple of days in silence at the completion of this. And I was sitting there thinking, reflecting, and this is what I wrote, and I want this to be thread. This is just something I'm sharing with you, but it's called, I am a mountain.The man who becomes a mountain does so by staying focused on becoming a mountain inch by inch, the foundation gets wider, stronger, and more stable storms come earthquake shift. Man tramples and the mountains still always grows. Every storm brings rain that helps the plant grow and thrive the cracks from the earthquake, widen the base and that rainwater naturally filters giving man drinking water.As they trample, see the mountain knows there are things happening outside of its existence, but it never allows them to influence its mission. So with every trigger storm disaster, the mountain finds a new opportunity to evolve and grow to his mission, to be a mountain.I wrote that as a permission slip for myself to focus as a way to realize there's nothing outside of my control. I can't control anything outside of my sphere. I can control my reaction. I can control my intention. I can control my energy and I can control the actions that I take, but I can't always control.What's going to come in. I can't control when the world's going to happen. An ad account is going to get shut down. An employee is going to quit. Somebody is going to steal a competitor, rip us off. I can't control those, but I was always can control myself. My response, my reaction and the choices that I make.And so I wrote that as a reminder of myself to take action, which feeds perfectly into what I'm talking about on today's episode, which is finding, okay. And eradicating the hidden sickness that I watched destroy most entrepreneurs, myself included.We’re entrepreneurs, right? We're the ones who stand here and we look out into the future. And we look out into the future and we determine what we want it to look like. And then we have the courage to come back into the present and start building it to be true. That is exactly what entrepreneurship is and even deeper, even if it's not entrepreneurship, even if it's fitness, even if it's nutrition, whatever goal it is that you have in life, your deciding on what you want it to look like for you, which means the, how can only be determined by you. And I always love asking this question because people come to me like, okay, here's my vision. How do I do it? And I was like if I answer how, then you're building my vision to not yours. And so it's a really important distinction to understand is that the, how has to come from you? What, how stands for in the world that I live in?Wait, waiting on progress. Waiting on dreams, waiting on action. Waiting on permission, waiting for someone else waiting for it to magically happen. But the truth is that if you plant something, you have to tend to it to grow it. If you plant something, you'll have to water it to grow it. If you set a destination, you have to step towards it every single day. And how is the biggest sickness that I see we will live in how. And overanalyze how, and try to come up with a perfect plan in how, as a form of validation and j
