You Sink if your tense, but Float if you’re relaxed
“You Sink if your tense, but Float if you’re relaxed” my Olympic swim instructor explained
-> A lot of investment professionals are “tense” at work and it’s an exhausting struggle to stay afloat each day.
—> There’s a better way to live:
Ask yourself “what are my 2-3 best and highest uses of time” like:
1. network to let people know I exist and source deals
2. communicate with my IC frequently and clearly
3. be present for my family when I am home
Your life viewed through a simple top down lens allows you to “relax” about all the noise around you - the daily fires, and instead float above.
Rather than getting sucked into reacting to every stimulus at work, and drowning in endless hours of you doing everything, staying focused on you H&B uses of Time gets you the results you want, with a completely different feel.
