Ep. 107 - Mindhacks for Higher Performance and Work-Life Balance
As an entrepreneur, you want to perform at the highest level to be able to grow a killer business. As a married entrepreneur, you also want to be able to balance work and home because your spouse wants it and your kids demand it. With all the competing issues, how do you do all that?
Some of the things that get in the way of you having more time away from the business is to let go of that control and allow others to do the work that you shouldn’t be doing. To resist the urge to respond to those “emergency” calls and texts during dinner or while you’re at the beach with family.
You may even realize that those are things you need to change but how?? Well, it’s all in your head and how you’ve been conditioned over the 30+ years of living. It is a mindset but you’re going to hear about this in a way that is going to blow your mind. This week’s guest, Dr. Eugene K. Choi will talk about the science behind the things we do that is sabotaging our work-life balance, relationships and the health of your business.
He’s a Pharm D. turned mind hacking business coach and has written articles that have generated millions of views for outlets such as Entrepreneur and Lifehack. So turn on the volume for this one.

Key Takeaways:
We’re either in survival or executive mode
Spend 70% of our time in survival mode
Survival mode is where we exhibit the fight, flight or freeze response
Many of us don’t know we have a problem because the problem is “normal”
Emotional pain is just as relevant as physical pain in our mind
We can’t be empathetic when we’re in survival mode
Fight response manifests as perfectionism
Flight response manifests as procrastination
Freeze response manifests as inaction
When you label the feeling it turns off the survival mode and activates the executive mode
Own the feeling but don’t identify with it. Say “I feel (insert feeling)” vs “I am (insert feeling)”
Have a relationship with your feelings, don’t avoid it. Avoiding the feeling puts you in survival mode.
If we spoke to your wife, do you practice what you preach?
