How Living La Dolce VITA Makes You a Better Leader

In this enlighting interview with Trish Tonay, I share how after achieving a significant amount of success, I came to the realization that something crucial was lacking in my life. Despite having an impressive external appearance, I didn’t feel accomplished and my health was suffering. I had become a workaholic due to my desire for high achievement, and as a result, I was neglecting other aspects of my life. I was failing to live up to my own values and wasn’t being true to myself. However, I eventually came back to my senses and reevaluated my priorities. I realized that effective leaders need to have a balanced life and focus on personal development. As a result, I created a system to lay the foundation for my unique methodology.

The Benefits of Alternating Focused Work and Sheer Idleness (dolce far niente).

The first thing that I teach my clients is to alternate focused work and sheer idleness. They have to make time for doing nothing and understand that this is when they grow. It’s counter-intuitive because when you are passionate about what you want to create in the world you work hard and don’t even realize how hard you work. The truth is that you need to stop and do nothing because when you rest, your brain integrates what happened before and this is when you become truly creative. .

How to Master your Life and your Business the Dolce Vita Way

When you are a leader, you know that running a business is like being on a roller coaster. This is why you need to find a way to keep yourself centered, energized, and emotionally detached from the day by day.

When my clients start being more intentional about creating regular dolce vita moments inside their routine, and when they commit to letting go of the need to be always present and in control, their life changes, and this has an incredibly positive ripple effect on the company environment. They are happier, more relaxed, more creative, and more focused. Discover more by joining my conversation with Christian Evans!

Set your Guilt-free Pleasures and Set yourself up for Success

If you don’t let go of your need to have eyes on everything at all times, you don’t recharge. As a business owner, you need to relent in control and let go of the anxiety attached to your business. You’re operating off of fear and fight or flight when you attach these emotions to your job. You have to break down your own desire to feel busy and be willing to walk away sometimes for your own mental health. When you’re an anxiety-based workaholic, you’re training your brain out of creativity. You can’t think creatively while under immense stress. Never undermine your own ability as a business owner and set your own guilt-free boundaries. These boundaries will be your lifeline, and you have to be disciplined and dedicated to letting go. It seems counterintuitive, but in truth, this lifestyle will only help your creativity and mental health as a business owner flourish. Commitment and organization serve very important purposes, and there is a balance you have to strike. You have to balance how you focus on the present and caring for yourself and how you focus on the future and growing your business. Listen to my interview with Josh Elledge in this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur.

Live la Dolce Vita for your Business

How can we strike the balance between success and fun? What does it mean to really live a joyful, ‘sweet’ life? As a rule of thumb, we need to become more intentional in whatever we do, be it at work or at enjoying life more. In a way, we need more structure. But remember: be playful and flexible with that structure because too much structure is as detrimental as a lack of structure. Basically, it’s a dance within the opposites.  Join me and Daniel Mangena in this amazing episode of the “Beyond Success” Podcast, and discover how to
