I’ve been alone ‘journey to freedom’ for about 3 months now.
I’ve a pipeline of freelance purchasers, and simply made my first $1000 with my kids’s AI e-book workshop (yay!).
Somedays it looks like an exhilarating joyride. Different days it looks like a automobile crash ready to occur.
I’ve mega productive days, and extremely procrastinating days.
I’ve tremendous wholesome days, and days stuffed with snacks I may do with out.
I’ve days stuffed with gratitude and peace. And days stuffed with scurry and scatter.
I’m consistently taking part in tug of warfare between securing work that pays, making time for my very own initiatives, and making certain I spend high quality time with my children – which is the core purpose behind taking this leap.
Once I take a step again to mirror, and ask myself, what am I searching for precisely on this new life I’ve chosen to embark upon, I appear to come back again to the center of Polina Pompliano’s e-book: What’s my hidden genius?

She additionally give up her job at Forbes to run her publication full-time. Her publication now has over 100,000 subscribers and profiles the world’s most attention-grabbing and profitable individuals, and attracts classes we will be taught from them.
The best way she presents them is exclusive as a result of every profile is researched in-depth, written with precision, and stuffed with actionable takeaways.
And her first e-book, Hidden Genius, is a ravishing compilation of the learnings from tons of of individuals she has studied.
The e-book is split by chapters on subjects like creativity, psychological toughness, relationships and management you can reference relying on how you’re feeling and what you want steering on.
You’ll be able to learn it from begin to end, or decide a chapter and simply learn that.
Open the e-book on any web page, and you’ll discover so many classes from so many unimaginable those that Polina has compiled so splendidly, as in the event that they had been written for you.
The e-book is genius. I needed to underline each sentence of it!
