Summary

I used to be terrible at taking time off. I was a workaholic like many of you out there. But then, something remarkable happened. I had a life-changing conversation at a conference. I met a guy who told me he took a whole month off every July, a far cry from my mere 10 days of vacation each year. It got me thinking, “Could I do that? Could I build a thriving business and still take a month off?”

Well, I did! And in this podcast, I'm sharing the insights from that journey. I want you to challenge the conventional beliefs about work, find self-awareness, and set powerful goals. So, let's dive in and explore how taking a break can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

My new book All It Takes Is a Goal is now available! You can grab a copy from your favorite bookstore or at atgbook.com.

In This Episode:
Every successful goal has four stages: 1. Dream 2. Plan 3. Do 4. Review. Learn how to have fun in all four stages right here!
