Summary

There's a lot I want to accomplish in life. And I bet there's a lot you want to accomplish, too. So what's stopping us? Usually, in my own life, I can boil it down to one thing. It's not focus. It's not having some super-specific morning routine. Or 8 hours of sleep (although that's important)... I accomplish things when I give myself permission to accomplish things. So what does that mean? It means I start doing and stop thinking about what it would look like to do something. So in this episode, you'll hear Sean Kim, host of "Growth Minds" podcast interview me about how to swap planning for permission and go for what you actually want in life.

I ultimately ended up losing all my money and because I had a whole misguided view of

0:21.6

what money was and how people view it and money by itself doesn't mean anything but depending

0:29.4

on your own internal history and views of money it could either be a poison or something

0:34.9

very great for your life.

1:22.2

Two times of these highs and highs.

1:24.8
