Episode 6.3 / Uncut Version
Uncut Challenge: Examining Sacrificial Living
What is sacrificial living? This is one of the missions of 6.3 podcast guest, Jen Szpigiel – to eradicate sacrificial living for entrepreneurs. And so on this mini episode, this uncut episode, I want to dive into this. Do any of you have this experience where you get up in the morning, and you’re like, “I just have to make it to nine o’clock… I just have to make it to 12 o’clock.”?
This to me is the epitome of sacrificial living. And dear listeners, I wanna own this. I remember this in two parts of my life. And we’re going to dive into it more, in next week’s uncut episode. Stay tuned.
