Four Burners with Josh Earl

Four Burners with Josh Earl

Four Burners is based on the four burners theory; Imagine your life is represented by a stove top with four burners; each burner represents a different facet of your life. Family. Friends. Health. Career. If you have them all going at 100% all the time you are bound to burn out. The theory suggests if you want to be successful you need to turn one off. If you want to be super successful you need to turn off two. Which ones are you choosing? And which ones are you turning off? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
