Earn Your Happy

Are you chasing a number or building a life you actually want? In this episode, Chris and I talk about a question more entrepreneurs need to ask themselves: how much is enough? We dive into the growing shift we’re seeing among high achievers who are rethinking success, simplifying their lives, and realizing that bigger isn’t always better. Chris shares the Dream Life Budget exercise, a framework designed to help you determine exactly what your ideal lifestyle costs. We also talk about the tradeoffs that come with constantly striving for more, the burnout that can happen when your ambitions outgrow your values, and why clarity around your dream life can change every decision you make. Tune in to define your sweet spot and build success on your terms.
