I used to have an obsession with building businesses and forgot about building health. I was focused on the destination instead of the journey. I caution you to not do the same.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that's not going to promote healthiness.
I've still got a small fitness and conditioning business where I travel round the world doing stuff for individuals and corporations, mainly fitness training.
From my very first day as an entrepreneur, I've felt the only mission worth pursuing in business is to make people's lives better.
Healthcare is very much a high priority for me. Healthcare is also a huge issue for business, both big and small.
Building a company isn't that different from climbing a big mountain. You need people helping you traverse treacherous paths and to lift you up when you fall.
In parts of the world where basic infrastructures like paved roads and transportation systems are underdeveloped, people walk for days to reach a health care provider.
I spend so much of my day at work. I would like to have the workplace be part of a healthier strategy. Reminding me more about walking the steps rather than taking that elevator. Not just promoting healthier food in the cafeteria, but providing information on healthier choices. I use it when I look at the alternatives.
Business is a subset of the environment, not the other way around. You can't have a healthy economy, you can't have a healthy anything in a degraded environment.
The goal should be to build a sustainable lifestyle business that does good for employees and customers - and that steadily builds wealth.
I'm extremely blessed because I travel extensively for my work, but I always try to incorporate a bit of leisure with business.
