The 3 Energies Every Entrepreneur Must Master

Are you managing your energy, or is your energy managing you?

In this video, I’ll share the 3 essential types of energy every entrepreneur needs to thrive in business and life:

• Physical Energy → the fuel to take action.
  
  
  
• Emotional Energy → your ability to contain yourself and others without burning trust.
  
  
  
• Mental Energy → your bandwidth to focus on what really matters.
  
  
  

Most entrepreneurs burn out not because of lack of strategy, but because they haven’t mastered these three energy levels. When you learn how to contain your emotions, protect your bandwidth, and recharge your body, you become a steady and trusted leader.

 Watch now to discover how to cultivate these energies so you can build your business without losing yourself in the process.

my dearest entrepreneur friends, welcome back to another video. Today we're going to talk about the three different types of energies you need in order to operate as a human, especially in business. The first type is obviously physical energy and physical energy is what you need to make shit happen, to work, to move, like all of those things. And when you don't have physical energy, you're feeling depleted, tired, losing

sleep obviously sleep is one of the ways that you can recharge but the only way to recharge your physical energy is by movement by exercise and the more you exercise the more access you have to your physical energy now i don't want to go like super deep into your physical energy because i feel like that's pretty obvious to everyone but what i want to go next is emotional energy and to me emotional energy is

equals containment. So containment in terms of containing yourself and your own emotional landscape and your clients and their emotional landscape and the people around you and their emotional escape and you not losing your center and

tipping over or overflowing or exploding with people. So that is so important to master because to me emotional energy equals emotional resource.

And it cannot just be a business thing. It's like sometimes having enough emotional resource means I can contain others. I can go into a space where there is a grumpy waiter and I can use that resource to shift that person out of their, you know, emotional turmoil, whatever anger they had, because there is more resource left for me. But

Let's assume I'm already drained and I have clients who I had to contain. I couldn't even contain myself. Then in that scenario, when someone is rude, for example, I would not be able to contain them and be okay. I would love that affect my mood and that

shift me out of my containment and peace and that

stir me into that I'm getting angry and upset. Many times, and this emotional containment is not something that we, especially if you're leading, especially if you're a business owner, if you are a business owner, the emotional containment is not even a question that you need to develop because emotional containment will help you not fuck up your relationships with the people.

especially in business, it will help you to contain yourself and not lose your shit in front of your team for example when there is something like you're under pressure there's something happening and you're exploding at people

has to be emotional containment in your practice

when you are pitching an offer, for example, or when you are operating in, there is inquiries in your business, there is a no, there is a rejection. There are so many points in which you need to contain yourself that if you don't know how to do that, if you don't develop self-containment, you can just be like not just exploding, but

you can lose trust with the people that you are looking to influence or lead. And to me, a contained leader is a safe leader, is a trusted leader. And to me,

a contained service provider, like in any type of business owner is one lead, be containing themselves and others and...

hold steady even when

tribulations rise which they always kind of do. And it's not about becoming this disassociated person, it's not about not feeling your emotions and

become unavailable and avoidant because I

Some people, they tip it to the extreme and they think, well, for me, I just cannot show any emotion because if I show emotion, it means I'm weak, therefore I'm not

It's not about that. it's about first of all controlling your emotions, like being in control of your own emotions and them, like knowing what's happening inside of you, understanding them and almost like choosing when to let them.

when to process them and when not to let that spill into your professional life. So this is like EQ 101, but it's the ability to, if you have something going on for you personally, it's the ability to put that aside

go.

to when you have time to deal with it and I'm not saying that you shouldn't deal with it I'm saying that you should put that aside and contain it until you have time to deal with it so many times this might sound a little bit like disassociative but many times what I experienced is even there is some upset happening I can put that aside and deal with it when I have the time to do so and when I

time to do so that I sit with it, I work through it and I am able to then contain it better and even just move through it sometimes because sometimes it just can be you just feel it and you're good to go. It doesn't have to be ruining relationships especially not in business like just you can learn, name it, sit with it, process it and move on and I think

It's not about becoming a psychopathic leader either and not having

emotion and being super cool. It's about being selective, how much you let them to the surface, in which scenarios you do them and with who you do them and when you do them. So it's a bit more developing that discernment on when do I let those bubbles to surface. And I see many leaders lead with emotion and I'm not saying it's a bad thing because especially like some of us, especially on social media, I see a lot of, I don't like it, but I see

a of them leading with this deficiency promotion when you put the thumbnail of you crying or you film yourself crying

And to me, it sounds theatrical. So to me, that's not a genuine expression of emotion, especially if you grab your phone and take a picture of it and put it on social media. from that point on, it becomes theatrical. And at that point, it becomes manipulative to me. So to me, it's about knowing how to express them, to express them, when to contain them, how to contain them to be a study.

person and to be self-reliant and to be able to hold and contain other people better and I think this practice has been something that especially for women it's much harder to master but I think for men it's much easier because they are generally some of them are good at containing but some of them they are just like disassociated as fuck and they don't even feel it that's a different story

It's

man to contain them and be level-headed than for women. For women it's a bit of a challenge because there's

they are accessible to us more freely. We are raised to feel them and deal with them. But again, like I said, if you are spilling over and not being able to contain yourself, it's going to undermine your trust with the people that you're showing up, with your peers as well.

and with the type of teams that you are leading. So being able to contain emotions is super massively fucking important.

So ways to cultivate containment is first of all, recognizing, practicing mindfulness, understanding your emotions, what they are, ability to name them, even feel them to the edge of it. So if you ever done that, if you are feeling your emotions when you give them the space to feel them, you also notice that you

and love it. And from that point on, it tips over to something else. That's an interesting practice to me. I challenge you to give

to go. It's actually fun to feel them all the way until you get bored of them until you're like okay I'm done. That's something that is super healthy as well into practice and and I think just becoming mindful and

maybe meditating, maybe practicing, just being still and giving yourself a space and time to work through them, process instead of unleashing it on the first person that comes through the door. The other and third type of energy that we all need to cultivate is mental energy. And mental energy to me is bandwidth.

is the ability to hold different projects at the same time, is ability to focus on different things I'm working on at the same time, is ability to show up for my clients and hold multiple projects and multiple clients at the same time. And bandwidth can be a big issue for a lot of us. That's why we have to be very, very selective of what and who we give our mental bandwidth to.

So this can mean that instead of giving your mental bandwidth to everyone, to news, to gossips, engagements that drain you and take that focus off you so you cannot have enough energy, bandwidth to focus on what really matters.

It's something that you need to be mindful of. Like you need to look at what is draining my mental bandwidth and what is helping me stay in focused flow and...

productive way and just stay

how can I master that? And I think bandwidth is something that I felt the most actually because I think bandwidth issue for me was something that came up the fastest when it comes to managing my energies because I found myself often getting all around.

with having too many clients and projects running at the same time. I think knowing where you

currently is and being able to know when to step back, when to give space, when to say no, what to say no to, like all of those and managing that with discernment is going to be really helpful

when it comes to managing your own bandwidth energy. One of the things that I found difficult, and now I think people understand it, but I used to be hawking in my bandwidth like crazy. And this also meant when it came to friends or my partner.

There was a lot of boundaries that had to be put there because I knew that when I need to work on something or focus on something, cannot be possibly juggling too many things at once. So over time, I learned to cultivate relationships that are not taking up too much of my mental bandwidth, but also recognizing when something is taking up too much bandwidth and when do I need to step back and bring the power back to

myself and I think that's something that every business owner especially if you are in a high-performance realms but any business owner has to kind of work with this discernment of do I give my energy mental bandwidth to drama to low-level conflicts to people they are not

necessarily wanting to find a solution. Like how much am I giving mental bandwidth to those things versus the things that are actually moving the needle. They matter, they're important. Like where am I cutting on that bandwidth and giving it to the people who and the projects who need my attention the most, who have the biggest impact,

the biggest movement and the biggest even financial gain in the moment. So I think just knowing how to juggle that is so, important. And when to step back and cut back on giving too much of your bandwidth away. And I think especially that's something I noticed

knowing and having,

a lot of high performer friends, when we operate on limited

to be this understanding, especially in our relationships, where we recognize that this is not a time for us to be indulging in friendly activities sometimes, but it's time for us to focus and understanding.

signaling that to the people around you, whether it's your family, your partner, your friendships. Like that to me, that communicating that boundary there is a heavy output period that we're going through right now. I think that actually helped tremendously to save those friendships, to save those relationships.

What I have noticed is that the people who get it, they get it. You don't have to explain to them, especially if they are operating on limiting and being selective on the bandwidth as well. So these are the three types of energies. How do we develop mental bandwidth is first of all, it will grow in itself, but it's more prioritizing. It's more like becoming more selective.

So sometimes mental bandwidth can come with walking away from projects. So

spending more time in nature, recharging yourself, sometimes physically traveling or moving out of your space. That can help you kind of recharge the bandwidth a little bit and to kind of reset the bandwidth, especially if the bandwidth is overwhelmed. And I hear this all the time when there's so many things going on for my clients that they get into

me overwhelm can be sometimes debilitating because it becomes a little bit of a

So it's hard to move from overwhelm and try to push through overwhelm. It will create more resistance than solutions. So that's why sometimes what the best thing is to do is to step back, to zoom out, to remove yourself, to reset

and find ways to calm your nervous system and reset yourself so that you can refocus on what really matters for you. And like I said, the people who get it, they get it. They're not going to leave you or you're not gonna break those relationships with the people who get it and who don't get it. That's fine. It's a different vibe. It's to be at a different frequency. And I think it's definitely something that when you are

wanting to create something meaningful that you need to watch and hug and protect like crazy. These are the three energies. Let me know which one of them you are really good at right now. Let me know which one of them you need to work on kind of ⁓ honing a little bit more. I'm curious to hear of that in the comments below. Thank you so much for watching and listening and I'll see you guys very
