What Is Emotional Intelligence?
One of the things that Jamie McIntyre does with the 21st Century Academy courses is to first build an education for life. We’ve talked about this before, and about how an education for life is something much different than what you learned in any type of school or college.
Maybe you remember that there were two primary types of intelligences that need to be developed in order to succeed at wealth creation. One of the two, the one I want to touch on here, is emotional intelligence.
What Is Emotional Intelligence?
Emotional intelligence is, to quote Jamie McIntyre’s definition,
“the ability to consciously respond to a situation rather than react under the influence of our emotions at the time”
Most people do not have emotional intelligence. Most people, and this includes myself and Jamie prior to developing the millionaire mindset, react to things in life based on habit. Most people are entirely reactionary and lack the ability to make careful, measured decisions.
Over time, our reactions become unconscious, not at all thought out. These unconscious reactions are made out of the most common states of emotion that we live in. Very negative emotions like
• Doubt
• Fear
• Uncertainty
• Worry
• Frustration
• Anger
• Disappointment
• Anxiety
• Stress
Build Emotional Intelligence
When you build emotional intelligence, you better your odds of succeeding at wealth creation because you
• Attract positive emotions
• Attract successful thinking
• Build your ability to make careful, conscious decisions that are productive rather than negative, emotional decisions based on only a knee-jerk reaction
Developing emotional intelligence is one of the keys to successful wealth creation. It is one of the most important lessons Jamie McIntyre and the 21st Century Academy will teach you, and it is a lesson that will serve you throughout every aspect of your life.
Until next time…
