Fav quotes from this episode:

“What I’m really helping people to do is engineer their own freedom.”

 “Lazy really just means efficient.”

“I work two days a week and run a pretty successful company.”

“Freedom isn’t a thing that you can put in a wheelbarrow and have, but it is something you can do. It’s a consistent process of letting go and of ownership.”

“If we can just snip some of those restraints, you’ll rise.”

“There’s behaviour I won’t tolerate”

In this episode we talk about:

• How there are always consequences to our actions, and learning to ask yourself “what cost do my decisions have?”
•  Why we don’t need to try so hard: Unravelling the perceived mystery of the two day work week it’s really as simple as being more efficient and removing constraints.
•  Why a coach that gets you the results you want won’t try to be your friend.
• The one tough question that James asks all his private clients that often leads to breakthroughs.

Plus, we talk about egos and how to dance with them.
