info_outlineWhen we first started out in business, we couldn't even get a mortgage - yet here we are, 8 years later, with a multi-7-figure business!
But it isn't necessarily all it's cracked up to be...
It's all too easy to lose sight of yourself in the hustle of starting a business, letting the business define you and your identity, chasing goal after goal, without a moment to breathe.
Before you know it, you lose the enjoyment of the experience whilst you chase yet another, bigger dopamine hit.
So in today's episode, we shed light on the danger of becoming too busy in your business, the possibility of losing the love and motivation to do and have it all, and flipping it all around to focus on defining what having an extraordinary life means to you - instead of what you're told that should be (and it isn't all about the designer handbags after all!)
Key Discussion Points:
- The truth behind closing down a Facebook group of 20,000 members, dropping a podcast that was in the top 0.1% and closing That Strategy Co. down.
- Defining what an "extraordinary life" means to you and why that matters.
- How simplifying your business and life can lead to more happiness than "having it all".

We'll see you there!
