Summary of i just sold my company for millions and now i'm depressed lol
In the video titled "i just sold my company for millions and now i'm depressed lol," the presenter reflects on his recent experience of selling his software company for millions of dollars and the unexpected feelings of emptiness that followed. Despite achieving many of his dreams—traveling, financial security, and helping his family—he emphasizes that true joy comes from meaningful Creation and internal fulfillment rather than external achievements.
Key Wellness Strategies and Self-Care Techniques:
- Focus on Creation: True joy stems from creating art or building businesses that provide real value, rather than solely chasing money.
- Appreciate Early Stages: The early stages of any journey are special; it's crucial to find enjoyment in them instead of rushing to the next milestone.
- Internal Work: Engaging in Personal Development and Self-Reflection is essential for long-term happiness. This includes:
- Building a stronger relationship with Spirituality or God.
- Practicing Meditation to find peace and clarity.
- Value of Money: While money can provide freedom and help others, its value diminishes beyond basic needs. The fulfillment from financial success is temporary.
- Authenticity in Business: Pursue ventures that resonate with personal interests and values, rather than just following trends for profit.
Productivity Tips:
- Shift Focus from Money: New entrepreneurs should prioritize creating something meaningful over just making money.
- Enjoy the Journey: Embrace the process and experiences that come with building a business, as these moments are often more fulfilling than the end results.
