#348: My top 4 lessons from 2024

from 6 Figure Creative · host Brian Hood

"Growth at all costs" can be dangerous. It's a CRAZY thing to try to grow only to sacrifice everything else in your life. Here's my 2024 in bullet points: → 2X’d the business (third year in a row) → Took my mom to Europe for a month (her first trip abroad) → Shut down operations for 2 weeks straight (paid the team to do nothing) → Zero 9pm work marathons (I never work past 5pm and never work weekends) → My wife still loves (and likes) me (because I prioritize her over the business) But let’s be clear—I didn’t just coast. This isn’t some “sit on a beach and brag about my life” kind of business. I worked hard when I worked. And I actually enjoyed my life when I didn’t. This week I’m sharing the four biggest lessons that made this possible—so you can grow your business without working yourself into the ground.

NEW EPISODES come out every Wednesday at 6:05am for those hump day early risers! Song Against Songs, The by G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) LibriVox LibriVox volunteers bring you 9 recordings of The Song Against Songs by G. K. Chesterton. This was the Fortnightly Poetry project for October 16, 2011.Chesterton was a large man, standing 6 feet 4 inches (1.93 m) and weighing around 21 stone (130 kg; 290 lb). His girth gave rise to a famous anecdote. During World War I a lady in London asked why he was not 'out at the Front'; he replied, 'If you go round to the side, you will see that I am.' On another occasion he remarked to his friend George Bernard Shaw: "To look at you, anyone would think a famine had struck England". Shaw retorted, "To look at you, anyone would think you have caused it". P. G. Wodehouse once described a very loud crash as "a sound like Chesterton falling onto a sheet of tin."( Summary from Wikipedia )
