In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks to Business Coach & Consultant, John Munn.
John's journey began in college, where he started a brewery to make money. However, he soon realized that money alone didn't bring happiness. This realization led him to transition into running businesses for less than ten hours a week, and he began helping others do the same.
When asked how he spends his free time, John explained that it varies for each person. For him, it's about spending time with his family and pursuing hobbies like gardening. The key, he emphasized, is to ensure that the time spent is on things that genuinely make a difference and bring happiness.
He discussed the contrast between the hustle mentality of working long hours to make money and John's approach to finding what truly makes you happy. John explained that both approaches aim to achieve happiness but in different ways. He encourages people to focus on the tasks with high leverage and drive the most results while eliminating or delegating less important tasks.
When asked what leaders may undervalue in their week-to-week schedule, John emphasized the importance of valuing and prioritizing time. He pointed out that many business owners don't factor their time into their costs and fail to consider how they spend their time.
