Learn to build an UNCAGED LIFE (and work just a few hours a week)

The true grit of entrepreneurship isn't found in a flawless logo or a sleek website—it's in the learning curve of taking action, the resilience to focus on what works, and the wisdom to outsource effectively.

Rebecca started The Uncaged Life in 2011 as a way to be able to work from anywhere. After 12 years of experimenting with what works and what she enjoys doing, she's found one offer for her business she's gone ALL IN on. Now? She employs a virtual team and works only a few hours a week (#goals).

Key Takeaways: 

• How real confidence stems from hands-on experience, not from immaculate branding.
• By embracing part-time work to support our ventures, we strike a balance that fuels growth without the burnout.
• Benefits of niching (for now) and offering your services for free to start
• Creating offers that allow you to turn on revenue when you need it

We don't just set goals – we plan adventures.

FREE DESIGN YOUR YEAR TEMPLATE - NEW

Navigating the intersection of personal ambitions and relationship goals can be a delicate dance, but it's one that Jared and I have learned to embrace. A few weeks ago, my partner and I carved out two full days to reflect, align and design our vision for next year and beyond. We set personal, professional and relationship goals. 

We laughed, argued, got uncomfortable and manifested clarity. We ended the weekend with a vision we felt aligned on and in this podcast episode share the template for success that worked for us. 

I hope you don’t follow it perfectly. I hope hearing our experience is the inspiration and motivation you need to carve out the time and design an agenda on your “own terms”  😉.

Grab your lover, business bestie or make it all about you. 

In this episode Sam and Jared discuss: 

• Designing the agenda for a goal setting weekend 
• Collecting an inventory of your 2019 wins
• Reflecting on key learnings from previous year
• Aligning on personal and relationship values 
• Setting mantras for the new year 
• Creating your 2020 intentions using 90 day sprints
