In this episode, Rachel is joined by Laurence McCahill, co-founder of the Happy Startup School, an alternative business school and thriving community of entrepreneurs that put happiness before profits.
We chat about the importance of knowing what we really want before setting vision and goals. What would life be like if we designed how we want to live and then created careers that work around this?
We discuss how to create your ideal working week. Download my free ‘Thrive Week’ tool in the podcast links below. By getting real about how much time we are spending on certain things and making some difficult decisions that will help us feel less overloaded. One of the questions we should ask ourselves whenever we are exploring a new opportunity or asked to take on new work is ‘at what cost?’ – and remember to measure this not just in monetary terms but in terms of energy, enjoyment and fulfilment.
