In conversations with successful entrepreneurs and executives I have noticed that there is an internal thinking process that supports resiliency and fulfillment and also another thinking process that despite being outwardly successful, compromises the individuals energy and sense of achievement. To the public, each may exhibit the traditional signs of success – money for the organization and for self, prestige, status and praise. Yet one executive will feel tired, worn out and even defeated while the other feels energized, happy and optimistic.
