If You're Always Busy, You Might Be Running From Yourself | Dan Martell

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1915DM Dan Martell rates his self-love at an 8 out of 10. Not a 10. He'll tell you why. His definition of a perfect 10 is being able to sit alone, completely stripped of his job, his money, his brand, even his kids, and feel whole. He's not there yet. That honesty alone is worth the listen. His coach Stephanie dared him to spend five days alone in a van with no phone and no plan. He said no for a year. When he finally went, day three in the woods cracked something open. He calls it pure love. The guy who wrote the book on productivity admits work was partly a way to avoid himself. His challenge to you: take a walk. No AirPods. No route. No elevation tracker. Just wander.
