Awesome episode! I like how you went off on a tangent here. It’s still highly relevant to online entrepreneurs though.
yeah buddy!
Great podcast and congrats on taking the leap, Terry. I quit my job a few months ago as well to look for social venture opportunities in Burma and other parts of SE Asia and have been learning a lot from all the episodes. Keep up the great work.
Thanks man, I think the biggest benefit is the brainpower that is freed up. After working 12-hour days you only have so much concentration power left so we’ll see how this goes.
Hey Terry, congratulations on taking the big step! Good luck with everything as you continue.
This was one of my favorite podcasts of yours yet. The idea muscle concept is just pure gold. Ten ideas a day every morning and I can really understand how James’ life turns around every 6 months.
Thanks! Certainly a simple concept, but like James said the discipline to keep exercising it is key.
