- 🚀 The mindset shift from "what you want to do" to "who you want to be"

- 🎯 Why staying "one step ahead" of clients isn't enough (and what to aim for instead)
- 🧠 The danger of "news diets" and why staying informed matters

- 🎭 The art of switching between consulting and coaching modes
- 📈 Why "working harder on yourself than your job" might be the wrong approach
Key Quote: "You need to pursue what you love doing that can make you money... The ideal thing is you should be making money to support the lifestyle to which you aspire and loving what you do every day." - Alan Weiss
