KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Embracing the digital nomad lifestyle can lead to unexpected opportunities and personal growth, but it still requires careful planning and adaptability.
• Accountability is crucial for achieving goals. By implementing agile methodologies like two-week sprints, you can significantly boost productivity.
• Outsourcing tasks and delegating responsibilities are essential for entrepreneurs to focus on high leverage activities and accelerate business growth.
• Aligning business strategies with personal strengths and preferences can reduce resistance and increase the likelihood of success in achieving goals.
• Patience is a vital component of goal achievement; rushing or forcing outcomes can lead to unnecessary risks and potential failures.
• Recognising and leveraging team members' unique strengths can dramatically improve overall business performance.
• Prioritising thinking time and strategic planning, despite feeling unproductive, is crucial for long term success and meeting your goals.
• Regularly assessing risks in business launch strategies can increase the chances of a successful product launch.

BEST MOMENTS

"I think so often we put unnecessary hurdles in our way of achieving our goals because we don't lean into our strengths."

"Your goals will happen. And then if I look back at my life of everything that I've written down and set an intention towards, they have happened, they've often taken longer than I thought they would."

"You set the intention, you set the actions, and then you just don't mess about with it. Just keep doing that same thing again and again and again for long enough. And you then get the compounding in your favour."

"I've been really lucky to hang around with very successful entrepreneurs, way past like 10 million a year. I don't know a single one of those who doesn't have this mindset."

"I guarantee you are spending crazy amounts of time on things that will not move you towards achieving what you want to achieve that could be outsourced to someone else for a much lower cost."
