Inspirational Quotes
“Time is, by far, our number one asset today. All of us, in some capacity – whether you’re a freelancer, an entrepreneur, an employee – we are all, in one way or another exchanging our time for other people’s money.”
“You can create more time if you’re a little bit more strategic and surgical about how you’re viewing your day and taking advantage of technology.”
“The more you do something, the faster you’re going to get there, assuming you’re doing the right stuff.”
Coaching Advice
When life in general or just the given day don’t go to plan, Josh advises these mindset shifts to stay productive:
1) Deal with things as they come up.
2) Even though you can’t plan for everything you life brings up, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be proactive and plan your days.
