    Why Entrepreneurs Struggle with Happiness with Joe Fier

    Why Entrepreneurs Struggle with Happiness with Joe Fier

    In this solo episode, Joe delves into the fascinating factors that determine happiness. From the influence of genetics and external circumstances to the power of our daily choices, he explores how we can unleash our true potential and find genuine joy. 

    Listen as Joe shares thought-provoking insights on the correlation between self-employment and happiness, shedding light on the importance of aligning our work with our values for a more fulfilling life. 

    Joe reveals a personal awakening that came from consciously slowing down with daily micro habits. He narrates his own experience of recognizing the negative impact not having these habits in his life had on his overall well-being, and the subsequent desire to break free from a version of himself that no longer resonated. 

    Joe emphasizes the significance of turning daily habits into non-negotiable investments in oneself, shifting our perspective from mundane chores to empowering rituals. Drawing on the powerful 80/20 rule, he invites listeners to discover the activities that take up less than 20% of their day but bring about immense joy and fulfillment, leaving them inspired to embrace positive change. 

    To further guide him, Joe shares a profound quote from BJ Fogg, introducing the audience to the concept of the tiny habit method, which encompasses motivation, ability, and prompt as key components for lasting transformation.
