Summary
I have some very important news. Five years ago I launched Freedom Fast Lane in order to document my journey and share the highs and lows of entrepreneurship. It has been so much fun to have shared what I have learned along the way with you.
About a year and a half ago something changed. Some of the magic that I felt at the very beginning started to fade. I felt that I had to start monetizing the following of this show in order to make it sustainable. Monetizing this audience turned into a very stressful thing.
Show Notes
Allowing myself to indulge in retrospection
I’ve done a lot of reflecting over the past six months and I’ve analyzed where I want to go with my career. I’ve reflected upon all the highs and lows of these past six months. As I look back on what worked, it was always when I was curious, honest, humble, when I was always being myself.
Exploring new horizons
I feel like I’ve said everything there is to say and that I’ve shared everything there is to share on the topics that I’ve been talking about. I decided to try something new. So this is the last official Freedom Fast Lane podcast episode in this format. Up until this point I shared a lot about physical products and some of the strategies we’ve used. We’ll see what comes next.
