Business owners are typically ambitious, goal-oriented people, and while these are important traits required for success, they have their drawbacks. Whatever our pursuit, when we are so focused on the bottom line and we are hooked on the end result, we forget to celebrate the journey. In this episode, Chris discusses the importance of separating our identities from our results. As a recovered chronic overachiever, Chris knows what it's like to be fixated on outcomes, and how draining it can be personally, and for those around you. We learn about how growing a purposeful mission makes us less attached to the final product and allows us to simply revel in the pursuit of what we set out to do. Remember, we are human beings, not human doings, and our worth is not tied to what we do, but who we are. Tune in today!
