#327 Is your business building the life you want — or stealing it? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, we’re joined by social entrepreneur and author Richie Norton to challenge the way we think about work, success, and freedom. Richie shares why how you’re paid matters more than how much, and how to use “positive constraints” to align your business with your values instead of sacrificing your life for future success. We explore the myth of time management, the danger of building businesses from the outside in, and the simple mindset shifts that can help you reclaim your time, energy, and purpose. If you've ever felt stuck, burnt out, or unsure if you're on the right path, this conversation will give you a fresh framework — and the permission — to build something that truly serves you!What we discuss with Richie:+ Why how you're paid matters most+ The danger of sacrificing life for success+ What it means to create "positive constraints"+ How to build freedom into your business+ The myth of time management+ Aligning your business with your values+ Choosing the “main course” first+ Strategy vs. tactics in entrepreneurship+ Why the “operator” role may not be for you+ Creating your future self in the presentThank you, Richie!Check out Richie Norton at RichieNorton.com.Get a free bonus kit at RichieNorton.com/time.Watch the video podcast of this episode!And follow us on:InstagramFacebookTik TokYoutubeTwitterTo get exclusive offers mentioned in this episode and to support the show, visit millionaireuniversity.com/sponsors.Want to hear from more incredible entrepreneurs?
