How to double your earning while prioritizing what's important for yourself, as shown by Mark Cuban and Morgan Freeman

How many times have you heard people say to you, “work hard” or “hustle harder”? Plenty probably. But as your life changes, you might start to realize that those old rules are not something you can (or care to) keep up with. If you get to fast forward your life in 10-20 years, would you honestly want still be doing the grind?

So then the question now becomes, is it at all possible to still be super successful AND do things your way?

YES.

Turns out, though, it has little to do with the hustle, but more to do with your relationships—with yourself AND with others. And no, I’m not talking necessarily about your family or loved ones (though those are definitely important).

I want to look at hidden aspects of our lives that actually compound, affect your work, and matter more than you realize.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• How top performers like Morgan Freeman differentiate themselves from the rest, as experienced during his VISA ads recording for the Olympics.
• The little known reasons why Mark Cuban became a billionaire.
• How to limit what you follow, watch, and listen to keep important things a priority.
• Ways to stay in control in a high-pressured or chaotic situation.
• How to have the right amount of social activities during social distancing.
• The proper attitude for creating a new personal and business relationship.
