Sam Parr told a great story in a recent MFM pod about his mother in law. The premise was that she started a business in her 50s that began thriving, and he was trying to get her to scale it up. She told him “no,” and that she was satisfied with the workload.
Shaan responded by saying something like, good for her for staying in the mix and not counting herself out, but what’s even more remarkable is that she has done something that’s harder than starting a business. When Sam asked what that was, he said, “It’s being content with the business that you start.”
That one hit me. Am I content with the business and work I’m doing or am I always chasing some elusive unicorn that does not exist?
