BTI #331: Avoiding Distractions with David Wood

I've been talking a lot on this show about really unpacking what the true journey of entrepreneurship really is. Oftentimes, thanks to social media, we get only a veneer perception of what it means to live the life of an entrepreneur. It's easy to look at people on Instagram with expensive clothes, nice watches, and fancy cars and think, "I too could live that life!" Then you start out and realize that you have to do all things in your company, including sweeping the floors. In this spirit of truly shedding light on the journey of entrepreneurship, I want to talk about all the things that can come up and be a distraction for you along the way. There's a cost associated with these distractions and we're going to dive into that. My guest today is David Wood. He is the founder of Focus.ceo with an extensive background and experience. "If you just had a regular job and you wanted your life to be different, that alone is going to take something. It's going to take some willpower to generate it."
