Gee Bryant is a veteran entrepreneur who successfully became a self-made millionaire. Having started from scratch, he built his empire from nothing and co-founded 2 multi-million dollar businesses. He has 50 employees working under him today. In this article, we focus on how his inner peace has helped him become so successful and why it is important to be at peace.
CEOs and Entrepreneurs Should Seek Inner Peace
As a high-level CEO or Entrepreneur, you are prone to getting stressful days and lonely nights severally. Nowadays, according to Gee Bryant, many people achieve ‘success,’ but they are just not going anymore. He further says that many entrepreneurs are going through depressions, anxiety, and burnout to the extent of taking their life due to the intense pressure that comes in hand while performing at a high level all the time.
“People don’t know what we go through on the other side, with so many people depending on us to keep the train rolling; family, employees, friends, etc. We have to make many sacrifices daily, and if you are not aligned spiritually within yourself, you could lose yourself. There were times when I felt as if the whole world was crashing in on me and I couldn’t go anymore, and over time I had to develop practices and habits that had nothing to do with business and everything to do with staying grounded and at peace.” Gee Bryant opens up.
He further said that the easiest part of starting a business is starting the business. Gee Bryant says that that’s the most exciting and invigorating stage. However, once you have a viable business and you now have to maintain and scale the business, that’s when peace of mind becomes an essential factor to put on top of anything else, including the business’s performance.
“Once you realize that being a high achiever and gaining everything that comes with that won’t result in you being ultimately fulfilled in life you must turn inside and understand that your truth and the peace that comes with that will allow you to truly enjoy all that you’ve created in the physical world.” Gee Bryant adds.
How to keep inner peace
Gee Bryant does several things to ensure that he has inner peace. Firstly, his daily routine is important. He ensures that he meditates and prays every morning then workout at least 4 times a week. “I often go out in nature and ground myself to reconnect with the earth and relive worldly stress. I often travel to sacred places around the world to recharge, meditate, and go explore the depths of myself. I live a pretty holistic lifestyle.”
Inner peace is important
Once you realize that being a high achiever and gaining everything that comes with that won’t result in you being ultimately fulfilled in life, you must look inside for that fulfillment. You must understand that your truth and the peace that comes with that will allow you to truly enjoy all that you’ve created in the physical world. A lot of people “make it” and then look around and say to themselves, “Is this it?” I know I did until I realized that the search for God in me, is the only journey that would truly set me free. Gee Bryant concludes.
