4:08 - What you focus on with the embodied goal-setting framework

5:40 - How I use the saying "not all money is good money" in my life

I used to isolate myself during this time of year. Instead of spending Christmas with family and loved ones, I'd work through the holidays in pursuit of business success, and it just served as a reminder of the lack of relationships in my life.

In this episode, I talk about how you can get caught in the entrepreneurial loneliness trap and how to find your way out of it.

3:00 - Why the old adage of "It's lonely at the top" isn't the magical thing it's made out to be

5:06 - How you get to a place of experiencing entrepreneurial loneliness

7:37 - How a good thing can turn bad if you don't monitor it

10:20 - The first thing you can do to make sure you don't fall into the entrepreneurial loneliness trap

11:54 - Suggestion #2 for avoiding the entrepreneurial loneliness trap
