MINDSET, MONEY AND FREEDOM

3 Things to Change Your Life…

by Brendan Chaplin

Hey friend,

This week is about three things that will change how you think, how you make money, and how you create freedom in your life.

  • Think who, not how. There are no extra prizes for figuring it out alone. The fastest way to get where you want to go is to learn from someone who has already done it.

  • Everything is unscalable before it is scalable. Stop trying to automate before you even know how the dots connect. Master the fundamentals first.

  • Real freedom is time to yourself. Not working. Not with friends. Just you, in your own space, doing what you enjoy. You have to create that time.

Right, let’s get into it.

MINDSET : WHO, NOT HOW

If I was starting my coaching business, my education business, or even my career again, I would make one core change.

Instead of asking how do I do this, I would ask who can help me do it?

Because there are no extra prizes for figuring it out by yourself.

There is no special award for struggling longer than you need to. The smart move, the smart play, is always going to be to find someone who has already walked the path and work with them.

That is how you accelerate everything.

Too many people get stuck trying to do it all alone, thinking that somehow it makes them stronger. It doesn’t. The people who succeed the fastest go and get help. They find the right mentor. They work with the right people.

So if you are stuck, stop trying to brute force your way through it. Start asking who instead of how.

MONEY: EVERYTHING IS UNSCALABLE BEFORE IT IS SCALABLE

Stop trying to automate too soon.

Stop trying to scale before you even know how the dots connect.

Every successful business starts with unscalable work.

  • Talking to people.

  • Opening conversations.

  • Closing sales.

  • Going the extra mile.

  • Figuring it out.

That is where the real work happens.

I ran my business 60+ hours a week alone before I hired a single person. And because I had such a deep understanding of how it worked, I was able to scale from zero to 15 full-time staff in a year when the time was right.

But that only happened because I put in the work first.

Too many coaches are trying to automate things before they even know how they work. They want systems and AI to replace them before they even understand the real mechanics of growth.

So forget about scale for a second. Get in the trenches. Learn what works. Do the unscalable work first.

Then, when you truly understand the process, scaling becomes easy.

FREEDOM: TIME TO YOURSELF

How much time to yourself have you had this week? This month?

Not working.
Not thinking about work.
Not with friends or family.
Just you.

Because that is real freedom. And it does not just happen, you have to create it.

If you never have time alone, if your calendar is constantly full, if you can’t remember the last time you just sat in silence and enjoyed your own company then you are not free.

Here is how you fix that.

1. Schedule solitude like you schedule work. Block out time that is just for you. Even 30 minutes a day makes a difference.

2. Go for walks without your phone. Leave it behind. No music. No distractions. Just you and your thoughts.

3. Do something just for fun. No productivity. No purpose. Just something you enjoy. A hobby. A book. A coffee in the sun.

4. Say no more often. If your schedule is constantly full, it is because you are saying yes to too much. Guard your time.

5. Stop feeling guilty about it. You do not need to be “on” all the time. Taking time for yourself makes you sharper, clearer, and better at everything else.

So take some time for yourself. Not just once, but regularly. Because that is real freedom.

Keep making it happen.
