  • Episode 31: Private Training: The Micro-Harvest

    During a private training session, Alastair presents the concept of The Micro-Harvest. Early on in our entrepreneurial paths, we convince ourselves that “x” is freedom (money). We then fold it back on itself, because it hasn’t arrived, ultimately deferring joy in the process. The Micro-Harvest allows: freedom from, freedom to do, and freedom within.
