#124: Lydia Lee- This is how you Reinvent Yourself

<p dir="ltr">What do you do when you have a breakdown after working for a tyrant of a boss… but the boss is you?  That happened to this week’s guest Lydia Lee, who we spoke to in Bali where she spends half her year. It turns out that a breakdown like that is a real wake up call.  Now Lydia coaches mid-career professionals who are looking for something different from the rest of their work life.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">This is a great conversation about building the work life you want to live with; not a bigger career or a smaller career, just the right one for you.  We talk about entrepreneurship, delegating work, running a 1-person company, who to work with and how to repell the kinds of people you want to avoid.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">More than anything we talk about being deliberate with the choices you make about you’re work life. Consciously or unconsciously you’ll make a lot of choices and the quality of those choices will impact everything from your compensation to where you live to your health.</p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Timestamps:</p> <p dir="ltr">03:32- The early mistakes people make when they start a business</p> <p dir="ltr">09:34- Work can be joyful</p> <p dir="ltr">13:04- Corporate jobs a damn risky</p> <p dir="ltr">18:04- Making your business… smaller</p> <p dir="ltr">24:15- Why Lydia won’t hand over content creation</p> <p dir="ltr">30:44- Working in the Sweet Spot</p> <p dir="ltr">33:45- Follow Deep Interests NOT Passion</p> <p dir="ltr">37:40- Right… for right now.</p> <p dir="ltr">45:16- Attract the right people.
