  The man is sitting in his dream gym and trying to teach us how to do the same. Props Juji, nothing but respect.

  In my 20-30s, I'd consistently 70+ hours a week because I thought I had to and I'd feel like a horrible, lazy person if I didn't, and I assumed that I couldn't make ends meet or ever be happy if I didn't.  In the long run, all that really happened is that I ran myself into the ground and my health hit rock bottom because work was all I focused on, and it didn't really put me ahead financially anyway.  All  that I achieved was making life much harder for myself than it needed to be.  Now in my early 40s I'm left to clean up the mess I made of myself over the last 20 years, which isn't easy.  What I learned is that happiness is a state of mind, and it's one that you can't necessarily just work yourself into.  You have to find a healthy equilibrium and then you will find happiness along the way to a life that you actually want to live.

  First time someone talks about how you don't need to become a machine when you're doing you're own business. People only talk about a 4 hour work week or waking up at 4 am and this is a great reasonable opinion.

  Haven't worked in almost a year now and I have never been happier, healthier or more financially free and independent in my life.

  Oh no, Juji is using VLDL clips. The circle is almost complete.

  "No matter what you do, you are not going to like it all the time" Great way to word this. I am self employed, a few years longer than you and have a very similar situation as you in terms of how I started out, burned out w/ the crazy hours and am finally at the "enjoyment" phase where I get it and understand how to manage all the responsibility. Great video, thanks for putting this together!

  Kudos to Juji for giving the correct message of prioritizing your sleep needs. Our sleep / wake cycles are all different and it's important to optimize for what our bodies need. Although it may seem counter-produtive, getting high-quality restful sleep is one of the best things we can do for ourselves.
