Life is busy, but things are more or less fine. You don't feel burned out right now. A little tired, maybe—exhausted, sometimes—but not burned out.
Sure, a break would be nice, but you can't afford that right now.
You can't afford to slow down. Too many things rely on you. Too many things depend on you. You're focused on making ends meet.
Taking time to rest seems out of the question. Even if you wanted to, it's not like you cou...

You have to have a plan, but a plan is useless without sufficient power to translate those plans into action.
"POWER is essential for success in the accumulation of money."
Well then. We'd better figure out what power is!
"POWER may be defined as 'organized and intelligently directed KNOWLEDGE'."
This chapter discusses difference sources of knowledge, which may be organized and intelligently directed as power.

You either have margin or you get burnout.
There's no other way around it.
Margin is not a luxury you can't afford. Margin is a necessity.
If you don't have margin now, you will fall apart in the future.
You must create margin in your life before you think you need it.
Margin is the space between activities. It is scheduled nothingness. It is the intentional setting aside of time for the sake of reflecting, de-stressing, and r...

This is the last episode of Ben and Dan's podcast "takeover"! Sean will be back on the podcast next week.
We don’t think about time like we do money.
We all know (hopefully we know) that if you spend more than you earn, the debt will pile up. It might not hurt you today, but over time it will continue to hold you back.
Burnout has been recognized by the World Health Organization; that’s how prominent it’s become—or perhaps it’s...

Download: MP3 (120.5 MB) We’re wired to be transactional. It’s linked to our survival. And in the modern world… that means we’re driven to make money. To make money, we need to do valuable work using our most precious resource: time. Hence the expression Time is money. It can be hard to imagine spending—squandering—that valuable Continue Reading »

Hey, it's Sean McCabe with a sabbatical episode. Today's topic is on depression. Specifically, it's an update on my recovery from depression and a continuation of episode 380: Recovery From Depression (Part 1). If you haven't heard episode 380, go back and listen to that first.
It's been nearly a year since my last episode on recovering from depression.
What inspired me to record a second episode on this topic was a message from ...

We’re not here to convince you that you need to write every day. We’ve covered how it all starts with writing in half a dozen episodes.

Ben and Dan agree: we like seanwes. Sean McCabe is a great guy, and his brand has high-quality products and presentation (and great typography).

At Craft + Commerce, Ben attended a workshop by Rachel Rodgers: “Million-Dollar Badass: Nine Steps to Scaling Your Business to a Million”.
He asked Rachel a question, because it didn’t seem like her framework could apply to his business.
Her reply: “What’s I’m ...

I'm taking off 2020 as a sabbatical year. In this episode, I share what I believe will come out of taking off a year.
Speaking of taking time off, I'm taking off the month of July to write my next book called Sabbatical. I'm starting that month with something crazy: writing 100,000 words in a day. I'm live streaming the event on July 1st. More info on that at http://Write100K.com.

The majority of people give up when they face opposition. Lack of persistence is one of the major causes of failure.
It comes as no surprise we read the following in Chapter 9:
> Lack of persistence is a weakness common to the majority of men.
Most people give up when they fail. Most people lack persistence.
What this means is if you persist, you are uncommon. If you persist, you are the minority. With persistence, you will win...

I recently read The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and Habit 5 fundamentally changed my life: Seek first to understand then to be understood.
Specifically, the principle within this chapter, Empathic Listening, is what rocked me.
I've often lamented that most people in conversations are not listening but instead waiting to talk. They're not listeners, they're wait-to-talkers. Two people take turns talking at each other and l...

Lack of decision and procrastination are holding you back:
> ACCURATE analysis of over 25,000 men and women who had experienced failure, disclosed the fact that LACK OF DECISION was near the head of the list of the 30 major causes of FAILURE. This is no mere statement of a theory--it is a fact.

Is your success taking longer than you'd like it to?
Are you experiencing nothing but failures and setbacks?
How many years does it take to make it?
Many of the most prominent examples of success you're familiar with came just on the other side of more failures than you're probably willing to endure. From Disney, with nothing but failures and setbacks for the first 10 years, to Seth Godin, with 900 rejection letters in a row and...

I’m going to share an extremely powerful idea in this episode. I’ve talked about it with a couple close friends, but this is the first time I’m sharing the concept publicly.
I want you to meditate on the question I’m about to ask.
What if you already possessed the skills you need to make a million dollars a year and it was just a matter of alignment with the right people?
You don’t lack any ability. You don’t need to develop mor...

I'm not saying you should put in less effort necessarily, but you can get so much MORE out of the effort you're already putting in to produce content.
