Mission Daily

Passion. Time. Money.These are the pillars every business leader must juggle.Neglect one, and suddenly it feels like your business is in the driver's seat, leaving you scrambling in the backseat. We define these core categories as: the PASSION you hold for your work, the TIME you get away from the grind, and the MONEY you're accumulating on this entrepreneurial journey.In today’s episode, Albert and I dive into: The inevitable drain of passion without enough personal downtime. The trap of doing what you love without a sustainable financial payoff – though tweaking your financial expectations might offer a way out. The emptiness of chasing money for money's sake. How to craft a life that isn't at the mercy of every dollar. The case for time being the ultimate game-changer among the three categories.

Five years ago, I entered a dark night of the soul.I was facing divorce, infidelity, and a near-bankrupt business - all while pregnant with twins.Life felt like it was crumbling around me. It was at this point that I thought to myself, “This can’t all be happening without reason.”That thought kickstarted a deep awakening inside me, and I began exploring something I had not yet focused on in my life: Spirituality and Religion. This episode is sponsored by Shopify.

You don’t have to be rich to build the life of your dreams.In today’s episode of Mission Daily, Albert shares how he’s built a life that allows him to say “Yes!” to the things he loves. Many people fall into the trap of believing that the only way they can live their “dream” life is by accumulating more debt, working more hours, or putting their passions and hobbies on hold. Albert sees it differently. Throughout his life and career, he’s prioritized two key goals: surfing and family. Every decision he’s made - from working as a teacher to buying an older car to working in the tech world - has been to support those goals. Albert’s story is about taking on life’s opportunities, prioritizing what matters, and building a life based on his values. He will happily say no to the things that don’t matter so he can say ‘heck yes’ to the things that do.Despite not following traditional paths, Albert shows us how adaptability and positive choices can lead to a fulfilling life. At the end of this episode, you’ll learn a series of frameworks and techniques to apply this philosophy to your life.(00:00) Introduction to Albert Chou(02:36) The Beginning of the 'Yes' Life(05:49) Building a Non-traditional Career(11:58) Navigating Personal and Professional Growth(17:45) Overcoming Challenges During the Housing Crisis(22:32) Stepping into the Tech World(26:13) Joining Mission and Diesel Jack(29:07) The Philosophy of Saying Yes(33:05) Integrating Family into Life Goals(38:33) Concluding Thoughts and Advice Email us -> info@mission.orgWork with us -> https://www.missionsponsors.com/Follow Stephanie -> https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniepostles/
