Top Takeaways: Live Big, Freedom is Actually Structure with Ajit Nawalkha

When something is “off” it means we need to pivot
Poke a few holes and find out what sticks
At different stages, different things inspire and excite us
Sometimes your passion just “sticks around”
How can I make sense of it all? How can I start a business around it?
Working so hard to create a living, I forgot to create a life
People you aspire to be like usually live fairly balanced lives
We can have successful companies and successful lives – it’s not binary
Build the life of your dreams with the people you love
The passion conundrum
“Willing” to do it for free doesn’t mean you “have to” do it for free
Passion alone can’t become a business, it has to have an element of profitability
Zone of Genius – passion + expertise + business opportunity
The fear of missing out on things makes you miss out on everything
Freedom is actually structure
You need to lead time, not let time lead you- proactive v reactive
