Daniel Goleman in his book on emotional intelligence explains how our intelligence (IQ) isn’t the only way to measure ourselves and that EQ can actually be more important in terms of success. Emotional intelligence is not about removing emotions or even controlling them, it’s about a set of skills successful people use, which is more to do with people than IQ.
Research shows that EQ is important in success (more important that IQ according to some). That means that success isn’t about intelligence – it’s not about ‘being clever’.
If you have self-motivation, if you can interpret your emotions and those of others, then you’re well on the way to a high EQ. You’re also well placed to be a successful business owner – especially a business like pet and home sitting, as one of the most important aspects is the people. Understanding the pet and home owners, acknowledging their emotions and what drives them.
If you’ve been put off setting up a new venture because you’re a ‘people person‘ not a ‘business person‘, then here’s the ideal business for you – one where people skills and EQ really matter.
