Have you ever felt like the business you built for freedom… is more like a jail?

That’s exactly what happened to Olivier Roland. He built a successful company… but it began to take over his life. 

We’re talking 60-70 hour weeks. Barely any vacations. And no way out. Until two lessons gave him the slap in the face he needed.

These lessons didn’t just reshape how he saw his business – they gave him a blueprint for transforming it into his ticket to freedom.

In this clip from Dare to Launch, we discuss:

  • The books that helped Olivier escape from his “self-made jail”

  • Why so many entrepreneurs feel trapped by their own business… and the easy way out

  • Why working harder might not get you to the next stage of your journey (but a simple mindset shift will)

  • The one secret you should take from this – or any other “How to” – podcast

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve created a job… instead of a business that allows you to live life on your terms, you’ll get a lot out of this.
