Battling Complacency as an Entrepreneur | Chris WP

All these peeps creating businesses during COVID makes me feel like I really should have done more with my lockdown than just bake banana bread…

Chris Watt-Pringle everybody.

The man who started a CBD business during a time when even alcohol and leaving your house was illegal (what could go wrong?). Not much, seeing as Chris has been reaping major rewards from this venture.

However, these rewards came with a price and are the by-product of many years of burnout, impulsive decision-making, and dealing with imposter syndrome.

What is imposter syndrome you ask? Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you didn't belong there? Doubtful of your accomplishments despite evidence of your competence.

In times like these it’s easy to accept this belief of yourself, often leading to complacency.

Take a step back, have a break, have a KitKat, and take the time needed to figure your shit out. Figure YOU out and what YOU want to be (uncomfortable question alert ??).

In Chris’ case, this meant quitting his job to embark on something better suited for him. And when you’re young, what better time to do impulsive things like that because you have the time!

But before I start sounding like Gary Vee, check out the full episode for all the deets.

Until next week,

None of Your Business
