Summary

Willpower is pointless!   Do you agree? If you do then you will love this interview with Publisher and CEO of Owner Magazine, Chris Brogan.   James brings Chris on as a guest to talk about his new book, The Freaks Shall Inherit the Earth: Entrepreneurship for Weirdos, Misfits, and World Dominators.   He breaks down what willpower really is... just our brains' programming language.    Just like James does in his upcoming book, The Power of No, Chris discusses how to use discipline with our willpower and to learn that smarter no's lead to better yesses...    How do you avoid getting stuck in "plan-ville?" How will you launch these great ideas that have inspired you?   James and Chris talk about how to turn your passions into businesses...    Are you still playing it safe? Scared to take that plunge and trust your ideas?   This is an excellent "Choose Yourself" episode that gives you that nudge of reassurance that you need to go after whatever it is that you are hesitant about.   Enjoy! ------------What do YOU think of the show?
