928: Jim Vaselopulos – The Wisdom of Clarity

I’ve always said that clarity is something everyone needs, and yet it is the hardest thing to sell, because, ironically, its outcomes and benefits aren't always immediately clear. In today’s episode, I chat with Jim Vaselopulos about the pivotal role of clarity in business success, exploring how it enables us to work smarter, not harder. Jim, a seasoned business advisor and author, shares actionable insights on overcoming common challenges by focusing on clarity as a guiding principle. We delve into the symptoms of a lack of clarity, the importance of addressing root causes, and practical strategies for achieving clarity in both business and life.
