Show Notes:

The more free time you take, the more your income will grow.

Taking free time flies in the face of workaholic culture, where burnout is worn as a badge of honor.

Gaining a new capability gives you a new sense of confidence.

To take time off, you must have a company that can develop and grow while you’re away.

Once you have your own company, you get to decide how you’re going to serve the public.

Many people measure their success by how many clients they have, but having fewer clients allows you to really invest in yourself.

Taking a break from technology allows you to be with your own thoughts and experience what’s around you.

A Free Day^™ is a 24-hour period that's uninterrupted by any work-related activities.

When you step inside Strategic Coach, you get to be surrounded by like-minded entrepreneurs who are eager to support your growth.

Entrepreneurs share common issues, but every entrepreneur is unique.
