Should you follow your heart or your brain?


should you follow your heart follow your
brain it’s a question I got recently for
one of my YouTube viewers Raj who was
wondering whether he should follow his
heart and start a family business or
follow his brain and go after computer
engineering and one of my advice on what
to do it’s a common question Thanks for
writing in Raj and really if you want to
have success as an entrepreneur or
otherwise you have to embrace a genius
at the end and don’t position it as
following your heart or following your
brain combine it you’re following your
heart and your brain and find a way to
make that work if you love computer
science but you’re also torn between
doing that and doing your business the
family business bring computer science
to your family business combine it when
you can do everything that you love
doing and pour yourself into your
company that’s when you’re gonna have
success if you’re just taking over a
family business and you do the things
that your parents did and it’s the same
old thing you’re not going to have huge
success as an entrepreneur it may
flatline you know you may start seeing a
little bit of a decline the way that
company is gonna grow is by you bringing
more of yourself to the company when
your parents are whoever in your family
started this business they had a passion
for it they poured themselves into it
and it started to take off the reason
why so many businesses fail when they
get to multi-generation is because the
new generation tries to do things the
same way the old generation did it
they’re not putting themselves into that
business you have to shake it up make it
your own bring your passion to it and
then it’s going to achieve huge success
if you love computer science you have to
bring that to your business you’ll have
more fun you’ll feel like you’re going
to work energized
you’ll bring more of yourself to the
company and you’ll have much bigger
results here’s an example from my life I
love business I love entrepreneurship I
love famous entrepreneurs and their
success story and I love dancing and do
a lot of salsa dancing I’m dancing I’m
deed
doing that 2025 hours a week it’s a good
part-time job doing dancing and I could
keep it as separate you know here’s Evan
the businessman and then Evan the salsa
guy but the real power comes from
combining that so I’ve invested into a
salsa company and I’ll DJ there and I
bring my knowledge of business to help
that company and I bring my knowledge of
salsa and dancing and art to help my
business I’m more fulfilled I’m happier
and I have more success in my business
life because I brought more of myself to
what I do
so empower and embrace the genius of the
end don’t force yourself to pick between
this and this that are both important to
you
the real power the real connection is
going to come from combining those and
you’ll have much greater success in
whatever you end up doing believe for
