#1 Being a Chillpreneur isn’t about working from a hammock in Bali. It’s about finding a new way of doing business that works for your bank account and supports your wellbeing.

#2 This book is all about crushing your to-do list, crushing your excuses, and crushing your fear. It’s about making money while you sleep, and it’s about giving yourself permission to stop trying to ‘do everything’. The four-hour workweek isn’t about having a few days off. It’s about taking control over your schedule and learning how to say no so you can be more productive. It’s not complicated, but it is hard. -> Being a Chillpreneur isn’t about working from a hammock in Bali.

Insights from Chapter 1

#1

Being a Chillpreneur is about finding a new way of doing business that works for your bank account and supports your wellbeing. It's about believing in abundance for everyone and building equity and equality into your business.

#2

The book has four parts: mindset, business models, money, and marketing. I’ve created a bonus online Action Guide that summarizes each chapter and has all the exercises in one place.

#3

I wrote the first edition of this book during one of the most challenging years of my entrepreneurial journey. I was also recently diagnosed with ADHD, something that, in hindsight, I’ve had all my life.

#4

The world of entrepreneurship is similar to the game of snakes and ladders. You can’t avoid obstacles, but you can choose how you respond to them. As scary as it is some days, it’s still better than doing a job you hate or wasting your potential.

#5

You have to be willing to get through everything on your way to success. The biggest obstacle you’ll face is fear.

#6

The Highlander Myth is the belief that there are only a few slots available for success, and they go to the most competitive, deserving, or ambitious. You don’t have to be competitive or ruthless to make it in business, but you do have to release some of your old programming about competition.

#7

The message that there can be only one winner is everywhere. It’s the basis of reality shows, where participants must compete and be eliminated each week until there’s only one contestant left.

#8

You’ll never feel ready enough to be successful. You have to choose yourself. There’s room for everyone, and you don’t have to be the best to be successful.

#9

When you truly and deeply care about a topic or cause, be a contributor. Who cares if you don’t know everything. You don’t have to be the best to make a difference. The more money conversations, the better, and you don’t need the ego trip
