Emotions CAN effect your business
Posted by Rowdy Olson on Jun 24th 2024
Did you know Ted DeGrazia once burned $1 million worth of his own artwork?
Yup, you heard that right. He did it just to dodge being labeled a millionaire by the IRS—and he even sent them a video of the fiery spectacle. It’s a wild reminder of how we often see ourselves as creatures of logic, priding ourselves on rational decisions. But here’s the kicker, we're also deeply emotional creatures.
Those emotions? They can shake up a friendship, topple a marriage, and yes, even rock the boat in business. Think no one would do something that seems utterly illogical? Think again. Emotions can drive someone to burn a fortune just to make a point.
So, next time you reckon someone won’t make a 'foolish' move, remember DeGrazia’s million-dollar blaze. It’s not always about logic.
