Summary

#614 As you listen to this episode, I want you to go through a quick exercise with me. You can just do it in your head, but the real magic happens when you put pen to paper. My good friend, Chris Ducker, calls it the 3 Lists to Freedom. As the name suggests, we’ll be creating three lists to help us move forward in our businesses and have more time for the things we love. I’ll walk you through each step, but pay close attention to the final one. That’s going to be the “money list” that can make the difference between a scrappy entrepreneur and a CEO. We talk about why and how to remove yourself as a bottleneck in your business, even though it might be hard to let go of certain tasks you might be great at. This is a valuable exercise that has saved me countless hours. I can’t recommend it enough! Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/session614.

in my businesses as a brand new business owner in 2008 after getting laid off.

0:33.6

I really had no idea what I was doing, right?

And it's always, always other people in their teachings, their encouragement, their accountability,

their help that has helped me get to where I'm at today.
