Actual Return on Feeling Others: One Thing Entrepreneurs Can Teach Us All

Ever catch yourself that someone is progressing so fast and you are feeling stuck?

You are not alone, believe me.

Qualified professionals who can provide the best academic performance, solve complex problems, and be 200% concentrated will provide a pathway to those who can “catch the thing” and quickly sort it out, enjoying the results of being noticed, promoted, given preferences, and, most importantly, well-paid.

You may argue, but some write about $200,000+hastles without being experts; they share their experience of identifying and applying existing tools and knowledge.

This is a skill by itself, and it is the most demanded one.

While many invest in the place, position, authority, thought-leadership title, write a book first, and get recognition, entrepreneurs are bridging the gap between experts and practical solutions by investing in relationships with others.

They translate experts' knowledge into tangible solutions, serving one person at a time and scaling multiple businesses.

The Gift of Sensitivity states, “The entrepreneurial mindset is more than a money-making machine, it is about the opportunity to see “gaps” and serve them for others, be creative and innovative. Entrepreneurs are small, therefore, fast. They are fragile therefore keep searching for support and supporting others. They must be sensitive yet know how to transform reality around. World change needs speed, and this is the force ready for it.”

The entrepreneurial approach has always been available. However, in today's world, having a keen sense of “gaps” and the ability to address them has become paramount.

Do you still worry about how smart you are?

The new yardstick is how you handle yourself for better relationships with others, not how great your diploma or self-esteem is. It seems the smartest person in the room sucks.

According to Daniel Goleman , the game's rules had already been changed at the beginning of this century. In his book “Working with Emotional Intelligence,” he wrote that we are no longer solely judged by our intelligence, training, and expertise but also by how well we navigate our emotions and relationships.

From today’s perspective, we may say that our success is directly related to how well we deal with people first.

The entrepreneurial mindset reveals that the true return on investment and pure joy for the soul comes from “feeling the others,” or in other words, understanding what is needed to help others.

This unique aspect of entrepreneurship sets it apart from other pursuits.

Their emotional skills, not academic ones, predict entrepreneurial success.

Historically embedded into entrepreneurship, emotional competencies and skills have already penetrated traditional workplaces.

According to a white paper titled "Transformation Leadership: Navigating the Turning Points,” recently developed in collaboration between EY and Oxford Sa?d , new leaders must “sense others” by being able to get early warnings about interventions needed, “listen to emotional signals, make sense of what they’re hearing and act in ways that replenish energy levels, rebuild trust, and foster new ways of working on performance,” creating conditions where people can thrive.

The algorithm of the social system changed after the pandemic when the social status and welfare paradigm were changed to ensure true priorities, such as health and well-being.

It has become understandable that the traditional workplace motivation of carrots and sticks no longer works; people want something different instead of carrots.

Productivity priorities have shifted towards personal performance, which feels more rewarding when exhaustion is no longer traded for executive perks like salary, medical benefits, and a corporate car.

“Feeling good” is the most important criterion in our lives now, where mentally healthy people can not feel good if others suffer; the quality of social connections means much more whenever.

We no longer act as parts of the business machine but thrive in relationships within the social ecosystem, where prosperity is just a piece of well-being.

Attributes such as initiative, empathy, adaptability, and persuasiveness emerge as skills and lanterns illuminating our path to deeper connections and understanding.

All of them are based on emotional and not intellectual skills, which is included indeed.

The core entrepreneurial ability to feel “gaps” and serve them is based on the capacity to feel what is needed by linking resources to others.

Entrepreneurial success is about how well you transfer useful competencies and skills to empower others, and you can do so only by understanding and sensing others.

Moreover, you don’t need those competencies to be yours. You may feel “gaps” when applying available knowledge and somebody else’s skills; this is how fast-moving entrepreneurs use investing solutions to fill their “gaps.”

If you want fast progress, start talking to people and answering their questions:

·?????? How will you make me stronger?

·?????? Which opportunities for growth do you have?

·?????? What new things could I learn and practice with you?

·?????? How will you help me develop?

·?????? How fun is it to be with your team?

·?????? What opportunities do you feel in me?

·?????? What gaps can we evaluate and sort out together?

·?????? What could we build together, and why does it make sense?

·?????? How well are you doing in your life yourself?

·?????? By the way, what is your mood every morning?

You will skyrocket in your life’s application as soon as you can locate answers.

There is nothing more valuable than applying life for the success of others.

Yours is the nice side effect.
