When you start a venture or company, you expect success.  Koen Knaepen of DIY Growth Strategies points out that most people think success comes from how good your idea is, if you’ve nailed your business plan, or if you have great skills. But the real key to success is the management of your emotions. The experience of building a business is like riding an emotional roller coaster.

Koen advises that you have to create habits so your emotions are in alignment with your goals in every moment of the journey. The lack of control in your business amplifies this rollercoaster of emotions. You need a process and framework to manage your emotions.

Koen shares six simple actions you can take based on insights on how our brain functions that can help you get your emotions under control and allow you to get better business results: time, productivity, influence, confidence, clarity, and reflection. Koen provides three essential steps to follow that will allow you to control your emotional state rather than the other way around.
