Embracing Curiosity with guest Justin Welsh

Early on in his career, Justin Welsh saw great success. Not only did Justin land an executive position in his early thirties, but he went on to grow several companies from 0 to 50 million in just a few years. While his success may appear outstanding on paper, Justin very quickly fell into burnout. After spending some time learning about himself, Justin made the choice to redesign his life to be more intentional. Today, Justin runs several online companies where he helps other entrepreneurs build their businesses by embracing their own curiosity.

In today’s world, there are millions of ways that entrepreneurs can generate income. Rather than staying at a job that causes you stress, Justin suggests that listeners get curious about the things they like and explore ways to turn that into a business. When you embrace a curious mindset, you will not only take the time to learn, but you also will increase your happiness and success.

Tune into this week’s episode of The G.E.M. Series to learn more about the importance of work-life balance, trying new things, and embracing your curiosity, so you can generate streams of revenue without experiencing burnout.
