Money Will Solve It

Episode 34 In this episode, Doug and Tim discuss the things money can't solve. In our society, it's common for us to think that money is the solution to all our problems (even if it's a subconscious belief) and we often forget that there are other things that are more important than money. We believe that making more money will help us get to a certain point where we will be able to work less, have the freedom to travel and have more time to spend with our family. Yet, while we are busy hustling and wanting to provide more for our family, we are losing our relationships and the problem becomes worse.   We need to understand that building connections within our relationships is much more significant than chasing money. We don't need to buy unnecessary things or spend too much money for a vacation in order to spend time and be connected with our family. Being present and spending quality time with them is already enough to solve that problem.   We get to be aware that money isn't the only solution for everything. Recognize the problem, find the root cause and solve it right away to break the chain.       What you will discover in this episode: 1. That money can't solve everything 2. Building relationships are more important than money 3. Recognizing the root cause of the problem to break the chain 4. Spending money for unnecessary things to solve a problem will just create more problems ————- Hungry for more?

I Hope They Don't Find Out

Episode 33 "I hope they don't find out." In this episode, Doug and Tim discuss the importance of being yourself. Putting on a front or wearing a mask will only make us more exhausted because we then feel the burden of thinking that people might find out who we really are. The society that we live in has trained us to put on a front in order to be accepted. We always give our best, showcase everything, use all our energy and at the end of the day, the real us becomes exhausted. Putting on a mask for a long time drains us and will only put us into desperation and emptiness. Being ourselves and sharing our weaknesses builds a deeper emotional connection to people around us. Showing who we really are and allowing people to love the REAL us and care for us because they accept who we really are is the KEY. Things you will discover in this episode: Importance of showing the real you How to build emotional relationships with the people around you What causes us to feel drained or exhausted ————- Hungry for more?

Making Sure Your Business Serves Your Life Instead of Your Life Serving Your Business

Episode 29 In this episode, Doug and Tim discuss some ways on how to make sure your business serves your life instead of your life serving your business.   First, we need to know the main WHY for the business and if it still serves its purpose. As leaders and business owners, we sometimes lose ourselves in the hustle and forget why we do it in the first place.   Second, we need to pay attention to our own stress levels. We should not be sacrificing our own happiness, hobbies or personal relationships just to build or run an organization. Our energy should be managed in a way that allows us to still enjoy our lives while doing our jobs at the same time.   By doing something meaningful in our business we also gain fulfillment and sense of purpose in life.   If some things are not working, take a pause, take ownership and make a change. Figure out what you really want and make a plan on how to make it happen. Take drastic actions, be bold to do things on your way because it is ultimately YOU who must decide how you will live your life, not your work or business.    In this episode you will learn: 1. Balancing work and personal life 2. Finding the purpose of your business 3. Importance of managing energy ————- Hungry for more?
