I'm excited to bring you today's episode because it pulls together the various strands covered in the series so far, not least how to build a sustainable system for pivoting careers and harnessing the power of your ideas.For a decade, today's guest, Justin Welsh, was a sales leader for high-growth tech businesses, helping to build two $50M+ ARR (annual recurring revenue) companies and raise over $300M in venture capital. But in 2019, he burned out. Deciding it was time to step away from his high-paying job, he created a plan to build an online audience, hypothesising that this would be the launchpad he needed to begin his new career as an entrepreneur.3 years later, he has 230,000 people following him on LinkedIn and 115,000 on Twitter, earning $2.3 million in self-employed income. Justin's on a mission to become the "Diversified Entrepreneur", which he's achieving by generating revenue from multiple online courses, investing, advising and coaching online creators. He's also a lovely guy and was very generous with both his time and insights. We discussed a range of topics, including:Become a self-guided learner.The value of front-loading your week.The secret to building a harmonious work/life Why human psychology is more important than tactics on social.Why systems are what you need when motivation & creativity falter.LINKS:Justin's LinkedIn profileJustin's Twitter profileJustin's websiteOllie's LinkedIn profileFuture Work/Life websiteFuture Work/Life newsletterSign up to register your interest for my new Maven cohort-based-course:  Design a Work/Life Flywheel: Accelerate Your Career Without Burning out Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022.
