Superpower: Being an empath and being able to read a room.
Definition of success: Having work freedom and being able to make a difference.
90-day business intention: Leverage his experiences to create a course that helps people who are stuck find work that more closely aligns with their values.
Inspirational Quotes
“Self-awareness is sexy.”
“For me, a big part of being able to do all this has been finding ways to get mental space back so that I can focus on the things that I enjoy and that are important.”
Coaching Advice
If you struggle to find the time to start working on yourself or on a business, Rich shared this advice to find more time:
1) Understand why it’s important to do the work that you’re trying to do.
2) Think about where it is that you want to be and break it down into emotional goals.
3) Take an inventory of what you have going on and think of ways you can free up time or pay someone to help you free up time, even if it’s one hour per week.
