When I decided to buy and run my own business, my lawyer gave me a piece of advice that’s stuck with me since.
“Ben, you need to be like George Clooney. He’s always cool. You never see George Clooney upset. He’s always in perfect control. Just stay cool Ben. Be like George Clooney”.
While I haven’t kept my cool as much as I’d have liked, channelling this advice has been super helpful.
If you want to embody a certain attitude or demeanour in your career or business, try modelling your behaviour after someone you admire that has these qualities (or at least, demonstrates these qualities externally).
