A workaholic is someone who has no identity beyond their work. Life is about so much more than what you do. It is about the relationships you develop and raise. It is about social impact in your community. It is about the growth and learning you experience. It is about income passionately.

We are creative by our very nature, it’s in our genes. Applied intelligence equals creativity. Intelligence takes on many forms. So this makes a new question:

Where is your definition of a workaholic more likely? One income in passion or one income in isolation and dread?

The Right Entrepreneur is one that I witness their values, passion, and whole way of being aligned with what they do. In this way, the entrepreneur is just being. The business, the craft, the passion, the purpose, the values, interests, etc. are all a part of  the whole  individual.

Externally, I don’t reckon anyone could casually observe a difference between a workaholic and this entrepreneur. But, the individual knows. Deep down inside, the answer is known and typically the individual will turn away from acknowledging that truth and rationalize sticking to their tried and right behavior. The tried and right is comfortable. To admit the truth requires change and change is uncomfortable.

Many people welcome change in their external environment and consider themselves capable and open to change. Unfortunately, for most the relationship to the inner self is one of dread; there’s a whole can of worms that gets opened when we start doing the inner work. Knowing this, on a gut level, our subconscious quickly reverts to the tried and right. It’s hard work to change.

The excellent news though, is that many entrepreneurs have the ability to see what is experience
