One aspect of entrepreneurship I did not expect was feeling bad.. a lot.
​
Prior to stepping into this realm I was more or less constantly running from my feelings.
​
But as an entrepreneur, where everything falls on me, I'm frequently having to spend time just past the edge of my comfort zone.

Which has required me to confront a lot of stuff from the past that's been holding me back.
​
​I interviewed Gary Coxe recently and he believes that you have to have a high tolerance to emotional pain.

He suggests a very practical way to build emotional resilience.. with a cold plunge!
​
This resonated with me because I've been taking a cold shower every day for the past year.
​
​This technique gets praised and ridiculed but I'll tell you what it does for me.
​
​Every morning I know that when I'm done with it, I've done something that I didn't want to do.
​
​I didn't let fear own me.
​
I believe that the repetition of this act builds a stack of wins that carries over into other ​areas of life and business.
​
Which increases my tolerance to emotional pain!

Do you agree that this is a valuable asset? I'd love to hear one way or the other.

Also what do to increase the amount of emotional pain you can tolerate?​
