Embracing Change and Growth through Rat and Cheese Metaphor
Exploring the contrast between human and rat behaviors when facing challenges, this chapter stresses the significance of adaptation and openness to change for growth and success.
Building a really successful freedom-based business shouldn’t come at the cost of your health + lifestyle. We’ve been conditioned to think that the harder we work, the more money we will make + the better results we will get. Newsflash: it’s actually the complete opposite… and today’s guest - my friend + business mentor, James Wedmore - is going to share strategies, stories and tactics to help you grow your business at any stage with ease. From how James took his business from $2M to $10M in just ONE YEAR, the hard choices he made to unlock massive growth, and how to delegate + build a dream team of A-players TO the critical lessons entrepreneurs at every/any stage of business need to know… and how you can actually do LESS to make MORE money. If you’re a current business owner or aspiring entrepreneur, you don’t want to miss this episode!
