Episode 61: Finding Work That's Good For You with Randy Hain

We all have high ambitions – wanting to live our best lives, working for what we love, and whatnot. Our minds constantly live those dreams forever waiting to take off – until – the effort seems too much to put in and you start to feel like you’re in a losing battle. 

If that's the case, then I'm here to help. To help you keep your mind away from giving up, from thinking it's not worth the extra effort. And to help me out, I have Randy Hain, Founder of Serviam Partners, on the show. His undefeatable love for coaching and writing led him to leave the luxury of C-suite executive level jobs to start his own business, a job he not only enjoys doing, but is also skilled at. Stay tuned to Unbox Yourself today as he gives away lessons from his inspiring journey: his powerful “Rule of 15” to get your head around starting something you’ve wanted to for a long time, creating a trusted circle of advisers for yourself, and staying on track with your dreams even when your ambition turns into frustration.
