“We are shaped and fashioned by what we love.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
As a small business owner, leader, and person, I can spend a lot of time on things that really don't provide any value OR don't bring me any joy. Actually, just the opposite. They can stress me out and zap all of my energy.
On this episode, I'm talking with A.J. Sue. He's a small business coach and really cool guy. We talk a lot about how to divest yourself of things that aren't working for you and to focus in on the things that you like, what you're good at, and what will provide the real value....in your life and in your leadership.
I know you'll dig him as much as I did. We had a lot of fun!
CHEERS!
