Businesses are created and run by human beings. The goal of all business is to sustain and increase profits as well as being able to serve individual needs and goals. The entrepreneur drives their business with their personality, education, character, intelligence, and work ethic amongst other factors. Some individuals focus on rules, systems, knowledge, and information (static), with aspects such as trust, integrity, cooperation, and honesty(dynamic) not being addressed. The entrepreneur’s ability to develop self-awareness, the capacity to emotionally self-regulate, to evolve and mature and become their own best leader by knowing themselves well, is vital.
The way we manage ourselves, the way we respond to situations and the way we interact and work with others, is representative of our overall intelligence. It is emotional intelligence more than the other types of intelligence which tends to predict how well we do in life. Emotional intelligence (E.Q) can be learned and integrated along with physical (P.Q) intellectual (I.Q) and spiritual intelligence (S.Q). This deliberate growth develops self-awareness, the key to permanent and sustainable growth, maturity, change and ultimate success.
