The "60 For Me" Framework: Bill Hoopes on Strategic Selfishness and Avoiding Burnout
Episode Summary:
At 15 years of service, Bill Hoopes was just five years away from a guaranteed Navy pension. He was a Chief Petty Officer making $90k a year with a clear path to retirement. Then, he did the unthinkable: he handed in his papers and walked away with nothing but his freedom.
In this episode of Dragon’s Gold, Bill joins Justin Mills to discuss the high cost of "golden handcuffs" and the resilience required to rebuild from scratch. From failing his Chief Petty Officer exam six times before finally passing, to navigating bankruptcy and a $50k pay cut as a teacher, Bill’s story is a masterclass in grit. He reveals why "sticking your toe in" is the most dangerous way to take a risk and shares his "60 for Me" framework—a strategic approach to self-care that prevents you from "moving positive in the wrong direction."
Key Takeaways:
• The 7th Try: Why failure is just data until you decide to quit.
• Burning the Boats: How to make high-stakes decisions when comfort is the enemy.
• The "60 for Me" Rule: Why taking one hour a day for yourself is the ultimate productivity hack.
• Breaking Generational Curses: Transforming trauma into a drive for greatness.
What You'll Learn:
• How to build resilience when you fail (again and again).
• The real cost of comfort and "golden handcuffs."
• How to reclaim 60 minutes a day to change your life.
Tools & Weapons:
• The Bible (Corinthians 9.24): Run the race in a way to win.
• Social Media Time Capsules: Using posts to hold your future self accountable.
• The OODA Loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, Act.
• Leading Her Game: Bill’s book on raising high-performing female athletes.
