If You “Want to Be Happy”

Summary

  • Strive for joy, not just happiness. Happiness can be fleeting, like trying to eat so much you'll never be hungry again.
  • Joy is more internal and can be found in the process of working hard and overcoming challenges.
  • Entrepreneurs often feel unhappy because they haven't reached their goals yet, but it's important to focus on personal growth.
  • Even if you face rejection, like doors closing in your face, you can still feel joy by appreciating the person you're becoming through perseverance.
  • In tough times, like knocking on door number 37 in your auto detailing business and facing rejections, reframe your mindset to find joy in the effort and transformation.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing a mindset shift towards joy rather than just happiness. Remember, joy comes from within and is about loving the process, even when it's hard. So, when you're working your tail off on your business and facing tough times or rejections, focus on how you're growing and what you're learning.

A good way of doing this is by setting small, achievable goals along the way. This keeps you motivated. If you're knocking on doors to get customers for your auto detailing business, and people keep saying no, don't just think about the 'no's. Instead, celebrate every time you knock on a new door. That's another step towards your goal!

To really make this work for you, start a joy journal. Write down three things every day that made you feel proud of what you're doing. It's not about the big wins; it's about the small steps you're taking. Were you resilient in face of a challenge? Write that down! Even if it's as simple as getting up and trying again after a rejection, that's progress.

Also, embrace the tough parts. When someone slams a door in your face, it's easy to feel down. But instead, ask yourself, "What did I learn from this experience?" Every challenge makes you tougher, wiser, and gets you closer to being the person you want to become.

Emphasizing personal growth can transform your journey. It's not just about reaching your goals but how you get there and the person you become along the way. Keep pushing forward, and take joy in the hustle, because that's what makes you stronger.
