What’s the point of building a bigger business if, in the process, you create a smaller life?

In this episode of the Inner Mentor series, I’m recording from a beach in the south of Spain and reflecting on what true wealth actually means.

For me, it isn’t simply the size of your business, your net worth, your home or the things you own. It’s having the freedom to live the life you actually want — while also having meaningful relationships, looking after your health and experiencing peace of mind and fulfilment.

I’m not against ambition or scaling. Building and scaling my own business helped create the financial freedom I enjoy today.

But I believe we need to think beyond simply scaling our businesses.

We need to scale our lives.

In this episode, I explore why entrepreneurs can become so focused on the next revenue target that everything else begins to shrink around the business — their time, relationships, health, wellbeing and freedom.

I also share why my own experience of sitting at my desk at 40, believing I was having a heart attack, forced me to reconsider what I was actually building all of this for.

Because you can build a bigger business and a bigger life.
