Jim Sheils – Making the Most of Your 18 Summers
Many of us are big on finding freedom in our lives and think that working hard, grinding it out, and making more money is serving our families really well. Although our intentions can be great and family-focused, this can be a tricky thing to navigate when it comes to time, being busy, and ultimately delegating out things that are crucial to the health and happiness of our families. In this episode, my good friend Jim Sheils joins me to talk about just this and how he found a way to put family first and make this time of life count.
It’s easy to let days, months, and years fly by—especially when we’re focused, motivated, and busy. Listen in as Jim shares how important it is to intentionally slow down and soak in the time we have right now. He gives us some incredible insight straight from his experience, as well as tools and resources we can use to make sure we’re making the most of the key years we spend with kids under our roofs.

P.S. Whenever you’re ready, here are some other ways I can help fast track you to your Freedom goal (you’re closer than you think) :
Alastair MacDonald is a private advisor to established entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners, as well as a TEDx speaker who lectures on economic, social, and financial forecasts. Join me today to hear part two of our conversation at the Freedom Founders Mastermind, where we dive into the concept of certainty, how to hedge against a volatile economy, and why the abdication model is no longer one that works.
Listen in to learn the reasons why Alastair is not worried about consumer price inflation (and what he’s really worried about instead) and why the 401(k) is not always the investment that it is made out to be. You’ll learn why he is most concerned about the issue of division and polarity in the Western world, why your business is your best asset in a volatile economy, and how you can maintain its viability to weather the most intense economic storm.
