Planning Your Moonshot

Handling Loneliness as an Entrepreneur

Louis Guajardo

This episode of 'Planning Your Moonshot' starts with a quote from Dr. Miriam Kiermeier, emphasizing that loneliness is more about being unseen than being alone. We discuss a study by Inc. magazine revealing that the top three challenges for CEOs are loneliness, delegating tasks, and feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders. The tragic story of Tony Hsieh of Zappos is shared to highlight the severe consequences of unchecked loneliness. We also explore my personal struggles with isolation since starting my financial planning firm, Moonshot Planning, and provide practical solutions such as joining or creating mastermind groups and building communities. The episode concludes with a listener's question about generating business ideas and offering advice on aligning those ideas with personal goals and market needs.
