John returns for a solo episode where he outlines the 8 biggest lessons he's learned in 2020, and how he plans to incorporate these lessons into 2021 and beyond. Lessons learned include:

1. Hold your plans loosely
2. Keep sight of the bigger mission
3. Therapists are now more important than EVER before
4. Care for yourself first so that you can care for others    
5. Have a cash reserve
6. Be nimble, stay nimble (prepare for ongoing evolution of how therapy is delivered and consumed)
7. Diversify your income streams (examples: courses (including installments), mastermind groups, affiliate revenue (BIG one), VA doing work for other people, etc.)
8. Keep designing your business around the life you want (imagine your perfect day. Example: surf from 7-10 every morning, work 11-5 M-Th, separate days for separate parts of the business, minimal team)
