Now, Nicholas runs a company where he helps his clients expand those Four Freedoms for themselves. In this episode, Nicholas shares how he’s gone from working in a job he didn’t like to becoming a happy entrepreneur.

Here’s some of what you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why becoming self-employed was unthinkable in his line of business.
• How Nicholas’s “wonderful journey” in The Strategic Coach^® Program began.
• What Nicholas defines as “relaxed entrepreneurship.”
• Why, nowadays, Nicholas delegates as much as possible.
• How Nicholas’s company helps when it comes to transgenerational wealth.

Show Notes:

Entrepreneurs become entrepreneurs for the sake of freedom.

The real freedom that allows all the other freedoms to happen is being able to control your time.

Strategic Coach^® members have the ability to actually arrange their life the way they want it.

The Freedom of Money isn’t the most important freedom.

Risk is always perceived as something negative, while uncertainty gives the possibility of something positive happening.

Sometimes, we stumble on rocks we put down ourselves.

Entrepreneurs who use Strategic Coach tools carve out a lot of time for themselves.

The Strategic Coach community is very helpful both as a sounding board and as an emotional support group.

Being your own boss has pros and cons, but the flexibility is worth it.

What you do as an entrepreneur is sometimes very lonely.

Talking about your entrepreneurial successes and challenges resonates more with someone who’s also gone through the whole process.
