Session 2: How to choose when you work, with whom, and on the projects that most excite you – Jenny Blake
If you, too, have flashes of entrepreneurial “Burn It All Down Mode,” you are not alone. After all, when you run your own business you are already paying a risk and pressure tax. So why stay shackled to outdated work structures that no longer work?
How can we earn twice as much in half the time,
with joy and ease, while serving the highest good?
This is the guiding question behind Free Time, a playbook to free your mind, time, and team for your best work. Free Time is about optionality: the ability to choose when you work, with whom, and on the projects that most excite you.
