Because it's hard to not take things personal when... Somebody that's worked for you for five years quits that you really liked and you felt like you had a friendship with too, or somebody leaves and goes to another company, or it can even be like emotionally daunting sometimes when you delegate a task to somebody and they don't do it, you get in your head and you're like,

Am I not delegating right? Do they just not like me? Do they just not care? And it really has taken a lot of work to be able to have a better emotional relationship with employees leaving or not doing their jobs correctly.

So I've gone through different phases in my life about how to handle these different things. Because I will say it is like, I still have problems with it today. It is still an ongoing journey. I don't think it ever won't be. I think it's managing people and groups of people is a hard job. So for a while, I had a business coach.

Me and my business partner would actually do some of the sessions together. And I think that that served us really well at that point in our life when we were doing it. I don't know... if that's the right situation for me anymore. But I think that if you're looking for a place to start, even like a monthly session with like a career coach or a business coach can be

super helpful just to gain insight. And it's kind of like having a therapist in business is how I say it, but it is super helpful when you're able to like address a specific situation and work through how to deal with it and also why like you may be emotionally feeling about it a certain way.

And I actually, you know, I do therapy every week and I talk to my therapist about some of the issues I have with employees too, not really like on the decisions I should make, but why I feel a certain way about them or why... what is this drumming up inside of me and resolving that issue?

Because it actually probably has nothing anything to do with work, but you know, work and your history of your life, you know, they do affect each other. So it is, you know, I think it's important to figure out some way to analyze why you may feel like you're overreacting in certain situations at work and not have that conversation be happening with people that you work with.

So I think that that's something that's, that's really important to, I've read a lot of different books over the years, but I would say, and a lot of them have helped me in different capacities, but I will say the one book that always helps me when I'm struggling with personnel issues and how I feel about them is The Four Agreements.

I know that's not really a business book, but I have a mini version of it actually that I keep in my purse. And if I go through it and think about each agreement. And this is like the mini version of the book you can read in like five minutes.

But I find if I go through it, I can pinpoint like what's out of balance with that issue and kind of bring it back into perspective and bring it back into logic. And once I bring it back into logic, I feel like I can make a better decision. And also for me, I'm lucky I have a business partner. So I would say that's another thing that's kept me grounded.
