Caffeine Cast: Entrepreneurship & Alcohol, Do They Mix? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]
“I made a very strategic decision about 5 years ago to stop drinking alcohol.”
There is no judgement from me in this episode; I just wanted to share with you all my views on whether alcohol and entrepreneurship work together. I get asked about this a lot by people because I don’t drink alcohol anymore.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As I got older my hangovers got longer and when I’m working for myself I always want to be on it and energetic. Drinking essentially made me waste a lot of time and for me, time is money.
- I find that when I drink, even if I only have 2, it makes me tired, grumpy and want to go to bed early and still have a bit of a hangover the next day. For someone like me who’s an ‘all or nothing’ type of guy I could just not drink and use my time more effectively.
- If drinking is a big part of your social and business life, then maybe drink on a Friday so you’re fresh and ready by Monday. Or you could just drink once a month rather than every week.
- I don’t believe there’s any harm in quitting drinking and I’m aware there is a lot of social pressure to drink.
- You could try testing 1 month without any alcohol and see what happens. You might find that you don’t actually enjoy drinking.
- For me, business and entrepreneurship is really important and drinking alcohol isn’t.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Alcohol affects productivity.’
‘If you can have control and know your limit then that’s good self discipline.’
‘Discipline is doing something you should do even if you don’t want to be doing it.’
‘I found 0 is easier and better than 2 drinks per week.’
‘I don’t think you should worry about what other people think and all of the other social pressures.’
