We’re tackling that nagging feeling that might be familiar to you (it certainly was for Sarah): “Why am I still stuck on the hamster wheel after hitting my revenue goals?” 

 

Thankfully, it’s not you, it's the gap between “success” and “freedom.”

Here’s whats dropping this episode!

• The Freedom Gap Defined
  
  Why landing your first $100K or hiring your first team member can feel like a cage, not a launchpad.
  
  
  
  


• Small Shifts, Big Results
  
  How Vietnam’s transformation of Fansipan mountain taught me that 20 years of incremental upgrades (from a gruelling hike to cable-car convenience) mirror the way our businesses must evolve.
  
  
  
  


• Communication 3-Step Process
  
  The “third step” of communication ensures that your team hears the same message you send, eliminating costly miscommunications about who does what when.
  
  
  
  


• Redefining Success Metrics
  
  Beyond revenue: measuring wins in health (Jonny’s 80 kg milestone!), relationships, and your calendar’s Done by Three lens.
  
  
  
  


• The Done by Three Lens
  
  Block your week around real freedom, time, creative space, and energy-restoring rituals rather than chasing “more.”

Episode Highlights

1. “Most of us overestimate what we’ll do in a year but underestimate what we can achieve in ten.” It’s a favourite quote for a reason, you are expecting too much in the short term and not aiming high enough long term. Stop taking score too soon. 
   
   
   
   


2. Vietnam Reflections: From scaling Fansipan at 3,170 m to tackling your business focus on stacking small wins daily.
   
   


3. Miscommunication Lesson: Flat walking track ≠ flat motorbike ride 🚲always check for understanding.
   
   
   
   


4. Health as a Business Metric: Why your spouse’s well-being (and yours) belongs on the scoreboard.
   
   
   
   


5. Success Fatigue: When society’s success markers leave you exhausted, it’s time to redesign your version of “done.”

Action Steps for Your Week

1. Audit Your “Over-Functioning” Zones: Identify three areas where you disproportionately invest time and energy without a payoff and eliminate or simplify them.


2. Calendar Freedom Block: Schedule a tech-free morning or afternoon for reading, reflection, or just doing nothing.


3. “If I Were Starting Today” Test: For one task or system each day, ask: “Would I build this if I were starting from scratch?” If not, delete it.
