Stephen Warley is the former co-founder of Unstuckable.  His new business is https://lifeskillsthatmatter.com/  where he’s helping 9-5’ers become Solopreneurs.  On this chat, we talk about the pivot from Unstuckable, and how he had to come to grips with his true calling, which is teaching people how they can pivot from their 9-5, start working from home, and start building their new life. One of my favorite takeaways were these questions he asks himself daily: * What did I learn about myself today? * What do I need to improve? * Did I meet someone new today? * Did I create something today?
