Ever wanted to run a 6 figure lifestyle business from anywhere in the world? That's what our guest Josh Latimer did. It wasn't easy, but the first step is to actually take the first step!

"I have a masters in pain and batchelors in suffering"

Josh was running a cleaning company, tied down to a location-based business every day and decided he wanted more freedom and a lifestyle that wasn't limited by where you are. As an entrepreneur with a head full of ideas he knew he wanted to do something life-changing and that the location-based business lifestyle wasn't for him.

"You have to start, you have to do stuff"

Fast forward, and he's now living the dream lifestyle with his family in Costa Rica, running his online businesses from the comforts of his own home.

Not only has he scaled up his business 'SellJim' software, but he's completely changed his lifestyle to fit in with it, rather than around it.In This Episode:Find out how Josh made the switch

A slightly different podcast this week as we take a look at "Essentialism" - a book by Greg McKeown, and a concept that will revolutionise your productivity.

After reading this book over the past few weeks it struck me that I'm just the kind of person this book talks about. A 'yes' man. I say yes to far too many things, often without thinking, planning, being strategic with my answer and often losing focus by becoming overwhelmed with the tasks in hand.

It struck me that many business owners and anyone in digital marketing could possibly feel the same way. There are millions of daily, weekly, monthly tasks that are all part and parcel of a successful campaign and if you're an avid listener, you'll hopefully have some of our planning sheets to help you organise your time and improve your efficiency basics. 

What this book does is delve into the who, what, when, where and why and help you deconstruct every task and work out how to trade-off tasks and more importantly how to analyse and improve your workflow.

In this episode you will learn: (and some of these are chapter titles directly from the book!)

The power to chooseTrade offsWhy you need a clear visionKnowing when you are doneHow to figure out what's stopping youBeing in the flowMulti tasking vs multi focusThink 'less, but better'

Hopefully this will help you guys as much as it has me! Our producer, Nik has already ordered a copy for himself too, so I know it resonates!
