Living The Good Life: The Secret To Thriving At Work?
"By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day."
Robert Frost
As entrepreneurial leaders, we often feel the need to make an impact and leave a lasting legacy. We pour our hearts and souls into our work, constantly striving for success.
In the pursuit of our goals, we can easily lose sight of what's truly important; enjoying the good life. We think that we cannot have both, but what if we're wrong?
What if living a life of abundance and happiness is actually the key to thriving in our work and creating an even greater impact?
Living the good life means different things to different people. For some, it's the ability to travel the world and experience new cultures. For others, it's spending quality time with family and friends, pursuing hobbies, and engaging in activities that enrich the soul.
Whatever it means to you, the importance of living the good life cannot be overstated. When we're happy and fulfilled outside of work, we bring that positive energy and enthusiasm into our jobs. We're more focused, creative, and productive, which ultimately leads to greater success and impact.
The good life is not a distraction from our work; it's a necessary complement.
To truly live the good life, it's important to understand that it's not about accumulating wealth or material possessions. Rather, it's about finding joy and fulfilment in everyday moments and experiences.
Taking time for self-care, cultivating meaningful relationships, and pursuing passions and hobbies can help us achieve a sense of balance and wellbeing that will ultimately benefit our work lives. After all, research shows that employees who have a good work-life balance are more productive and healthier, with higher levels of job satisfaction and lower rates of burnout.
Living the good life is not a luxury, it's a necessity.
As entrepreneurial leaders, we can achieve both personal fulfilment and professional success by nurturing our own wellbeing, pursuing our passions, and prioritising the things that truly matter in life. By doing so, we can make an even greater impact in the world and leave a lasting legacy that we're truly proud of.
So, go on that trip, take up that hobby, and spend time with your loved ones. It's not a distraction from your work, it's an essential part of it.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
- Howard Thurman
Do you ever feel like you're swimming upstream, trying to make a difference in the world? What if there was a way to break through these blocks?
You're one insight away...
For years, Dr Behrooz Behbod, The Entrepreneur's Doctor, was what you might call a high achiever. He dedicated his life to improving population and planetary health and wellbeing, pursuing education and training at some of the most prestigious institutions in the world.
Yet even the most talented among us can succumb to burnout, and that's exactly what happened to Behrooz in 2020.
For two long years, he was functioning, but on the inside, he felt stuck and no longer able to create the positive impact he had always planned for. He was afraid that he would no longer feel fulfilled and truly happy.
Then one day, a single insight changed everything.
That insight is best described by Howard Thurman's message:
"Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."
Since discovering the power of transformative insights, Behrooz has been helping fellow entrepreneurial leaders to unlock the insights we need to create positive impact, both in our lives and in the world.
