Summary
To list all of James Altucher's accomplishments would take more space than we have here, but the short version is that he's written something like 18 books, he’s got a wildly popular blog called the Altucher Confidential, an awesome podcast, and he's started 20 (yes, 20!) companies-- and that's just the highlights.
Today on the podcast...
* We talk about a great framework for a daily checklist: Am I doing something for my physical health? For my personal relationships, creativity, and practicing some gratitude?
* We get into some specific tips on how to deal with anxiety, specifically how to keep it from coming between you and getting closer to your dreams
* James talks about why you need to think of yourself as a business (literally as a collection of SKUs) and why we’re all likely to be “hyphens” in the future
Enjoy!
