Show Notes
Most people think you get rich first, and working less is the reward. What if that's completely backward?
In 2009, I was broke. On food stamps. A brand new dad, no job, just starting a business out of a spare bedroom. And a mentor told me to do something that sounded completely insane: stop working one day a week. Indefinitely.
Not after I made it. Not once business was steady. Right now, while I had nothing.
I thought he was crazy. I did it anyway. And it became the single decision that changed everything about how my business grew from there.
By the end of this, you'll have a simple way to work less starting this week — and why that might be the smartest business move you ever make.

I regularly sell coaching that costs $27,000 and $55,000. And here's what most people selling high-ticket won't tell you: I buy it too.
I wasn't sure if I was even going to make this episode — this might get me in some trouble. But I think it's a conversation Christian entrepreneurs need to have: is it a sin to want more?
