Our guest is Jasen Edwards, an entrepreneur, life and business coach, and bestselling author of Done Before One, How to Work Smarter When You Work for Yourself.
His writing, coaching, and keynotes have helped thousands of self-employed professionals and small business owners across a wide range of industries break barriers of business growth.
Jasen’s rise to success is full of grit and mindset mastery. After dropping out of college with no plan for the future, with acne on his face and no air conditioning in his truck, he got his Texas real estate license. He would soon be named on the Austin Business Journal’s Top 50 agent list and was featured on the cover of REALTOR magazine before he turned thirty.
His coaching, writing, and keynotes have helped thousands do what they thought was impossible: charge above-average fees for their work, enjoy time off, and experience the freedom they dreamed up.
If you’re ready to drop the excuses to live in exceptional results, this is the episode for you!
