Katie Richardson starts out this episode with her conviction that “You are going to want to stick around for this conversation!” Her guest, Jason Duncan, not only has an incredible rubble-to-riches story, but is also a fellow “accidental entrepreneur.” Jason’s goal was never to be a booming businessman; he just wanted to pursue his passion, which he found through trial and error in his pastor, teaching, and entrepreneurial positions. What he really found is that he enjoyed the presentation of helping others come to grips with new realities, and once he figured that out, it took off from there.

Today, Jason teaches us how to exit our business WITHOUT exiting, removing that lifestyle of a 70 hour workweek married to the superhero syndrome and instead replacing it with a sustainable lifestyle that allows for personal investment and family time. Tune in to his wisdom and witness his genuine personality as he shares with you the best advice he can give to entrepreneurs out there looking to make that leap.

3 Key Takeaways

• How Jason went from unemployed teacher to millionaire in one year.
• Why you need to consider that there’s an “option three” for your business.
• How the golden rule has set Jason up for a successful business life that’s centered around integrity.
