Episode notes
Success As Freedom
- Define success by the freedom it grants, not by external validation or job security.
- Let that internal declaration guide which skills you build and opportunities you pursue.
Start With Customers, Not Expertise
- Follow the starter context: people first, problem second, sales third, outsource fourth, get a result fifth, then scale.
- Sell before you build to reduce risk and validate real demand cheaply.
Notice Limiting Beliefs, Don't Fight Them
- Notice and welcome limiting self-beliefs instead of fighting them, then declare 'that is not me.'
- Use gentle observation to disidentify from thoughts that trigger sabotage.
