Are you easily frustrated, wishing you were further along?

You may find yourself measuring success in financial metrics, and if you don’t achieve a goal, you end up feeling guilty, ashamed, or worse - demoralized. 

Leaders, know that it’s perfectly okay to feel this way. You’re not the only business owner who struggles with issues of worthiness. 

While you know that the work you do is important and meaningful, it’s just a fac…

It’s easy to get pulled away from what truly matters when you’re running a business.

As a modern global leader, you may feel the need to stay true to your cultural heritage, no matter where you are in the world.
