In this episode, Daran will be talking about one of the most effective ways for small business owners to change what they are doing in order to move their business from where it is today, to where they want it to be at some point in the future... habits.

He will share what research says about how long, on average, it takes for a person to form a habit.

He will share some of the specific best practices and time tested, well established business strategies that he and his team made a habit of doing to create a much more efficient and productive organization, ultimately creating greater personal and professional freedom for both himself and the rest of the team.

Daran will even throw in a few thoughts on habits from the Greek philosophers Epictetus and Aristotle.

Enjoy the show and don't forget to...

Stay focused on your freedom!
