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 write about all my podcasts! Check out the full post and learn what I learned at jamesaltucher.com/podcast. Thanks so much for listening!

0:37.3	And I think for many years, not just like one or two years but for many years, it was
0:41.7	like a poison in my life and hopefully I've grown out of that period.
0:47.1	I think I have but time will tell.
0:49.2	Yeah, I mean I know you've been through the high supplies and the lowest of lows so you
0:53.5	must have had personally experienced these moments as you mentioned where you've had
0:57.3	all these friends all of a sudden because you've had this success and what happened when
1:01.8	things were at this lowest point, some of these people just appear and I'm 100% of them.
1:07.3	100% yeah 100% zero, zero people stayed with me.
1:11.6	How does that affect the way you view future relationships with someone that you made
