Ep 73: Society shouldn’t dictate your life with Chris James

Being able to life your life on your own terms is something many aspire to but never manage. It can sometimes take losing people close to you to show you that now is the time to take action. Better that than live life in regret.   In this episode I am joined by Chris James, who experienced loss that made him realise he needed to take control of his own life by going all in on his own work. Since then he has built a hugely successful business supporting others to do the same through the power of social sales.   He talks about his darkest moments, including the people he has lost in recent years, his attitude towards money, vanity metrics on socials and engagement pods. He also shares how meeting his wife changed his life and how that impacted the person and business owner he has become.   “It’s the people that stand out that make the difference” – Chris James   You'll hear about:   00:00 - Start 00:40 - An introduction to Chris 03:47 - Chris on his darkest times 05:56 - The sales process for people just starting 10:37 - Chris' attitude towards money 12:18 - Your worth is not linked to follower numbers 15:56 - Chris' view on engagement pods 26:38 - What areas of his life does Chris need to look at? 30:00 - Chris journey to meeting his wife 36:55 - Where would Chris be if he hadn't met his wife 39:16 - Chris' family story 50:13 - How Chris processes trauma 52:35 - What is happiness to Chris   Chris’ resources:   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjamesonline/ Chris’ website - https://www.chris-james.co/ Content To Clients - https://www.chris-james.co/c2clp YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCru_YUpPmYCfuj7lb67y7zw/videos Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/salesguychris/   My resources: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/itschrisoconnell/ Twitter - https://twitter.com/ChrisOConnell11 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ TikTok - https://www.instagram.com/chrisoconnellcoach/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_ZWYrxrzzaElmpZMy5S86w Basemindset website - https://basemindset.com/
