Episode 820: #BizTipFriday Edition: The 10 Agreements That My Future Self Would Force Me to Sign Before I Ever Started a Business

If I could send a message back in a time machine to my younger self starting out in business, I wouldn't waste time talking about what to do differently. Instead, I'd hand over a list of the non-negotiable agreements that transform a soul-sucking grind into an extraordinary life! In this #BizTipFriday edition of the podcast, I get real about the "10 Commandments" for entrepreneurs that ensure you stay 10 out of 10 happy, no matter what phase your business is in. In this episode, you'll learn why I view having fun as a daily discipline and how I've managed to stay in this game for 19 years without burning out. We're diving deep into the art of detachment, the danger of the "Midas Touch" trap, and how to stop giving your power away to the critics sitting in the stands, plus much more.  It's time to decouple your self-worth from your bank account and start choosing correctly from day one. Let's look at the hard truths your future self wants you to know so you can build a business that serves your life, and not the other way around!
