I tend to operate at Eyeore lows and Tigger highs. Not manic depression but certainly there are recognizable moments when I feel invincible and others when I'm convinced there is no place in the business world where I will find my perfect fit. I suspect this is the personality of many an entrepreneur.
Lately I've been trying to think at Pooh speed. After working with my elf who has encouraged me to seek a more open, average, calm state of mind, and some unexpected forced down time this week, I find I recognize Pooh-time more. This isn't that easy! When most of what we read as entrepreneurs is motivational in tone, it is hard not to feel chronically motivated, which can lead to moments of real let down and questioning.
Look. We can't all operate at Gary V levels. I love the man! But some of us are quiet and introverted. I really don't ever want to do public speaking. Small workshops? YES! Big groups with a headset and technology? NO!
What does embracing Pooh look like? ;-) Well, it sounds a lot like that sound your dog makes when they are settling in to go to sleep. A deep breath blown out. It sounds quiet, it sounds like honey, tea, good friends, a living and not an attempt at being discovered and admired by everyone in cyberspace. TIGGER WANTS THAT! Pooh couldn't care less. Pooh is happy just to be. That takes some thinking about. Happy just to be...Pooh.
