Can I share a quick success secret with you today? It’s a secret that will make you $1000’s or even millions over the coming years.

This is advice that my first business coach told me many years ago, and it has really stuck with me and proved to be true.

It’s not revolutionary,

It’s not sexy,

It’s not to ‘start a Pinterest account, create a membership, build an email list, or launch a digital course’ like all the gurus are telling you.

Those things can come later. Right now, they’re not the priority.

In this episode, I'm sharing my recent thoughts around TIME.

Yes, we all have 24 hours in the day.

But we don't all THINK about those hours equally!

We're BACK with Season 15, baby!

Not only are we celebrating 15 seasons of the podcast, but we're also celebrating 7 years of the Visionary Life Podcast.

Yes, you read that right. We have been creating, producing, and sharing weekly episodes for 7 whole years.

I still remember when I started this podcast with NO clue what I was doing, and I would travel around Toronto on public transit and show up at people's studios, offices, apartments and bring them to my tiny bachelors apartment to record with a $150 microphone.

This week, I’m pulling back the curtain on what a week in my life really looks like.

Of course, every week is different. But I wanted to sit down 7 days in a row, and record what happened behind the scenes.

I chronicle:

• what I eat to stay fueled (and how I keep meals mega simple around here)

• what I do during my 2 days of child-care

• how we fit in a 1x weekly date night

• spending as much time as possible with Freddie each week, and taking him on adventures

• and more!
