Shaan's stoic dichotomy applied to entrepreneurship — control effort, release attachment to outcomes
Shaan: once he internalized the stoic dichotomy, his anxiety dropped but his productivity increased. By focusing only on what he could control (effort, quality, relationships) and releasing what he couldn't (results, timing, luck), he became a better entrepreneur.•
