What's the price you would pay to reach your dreams?
Would you work night and day?
Would you be willing to lose your friends?
Would you let your familial relationships whither away?
Would you let your health deteriorate?
Welcome to Ajit Nawalkha's former life.
What do you do when you reach the pinnacle of the corporate ladder and the only question that comes up within is "Is this all there is?"
For many, stepping down as CEO at Mindvalley could have signified the end, but for Ajit, it was only the beginning of a higher, more fulfilling life. Today, he enjoys greater health, an amazing work-life balance, a loving relationship with Neeta Bhushan, a newborn baby, success as an author, and a life of 'living big.' He's truly lived an inspiring life. And now, with his new book, Live Big: The Entrepreneur's Guide To Passion, Practicality, and Purpose, he's sharing the keys to living that life with the world.
If you're curious to experience what it means to 'live big,' tune into Episode 199 of Are You Being Real. Ajit and Mark go deep into what it felt like to step down as CEO, how he's been able to have an amazing work-life balance (working only 16 hours a week), how you should manage your passions, and why we should as if life were like a dance instead of a scorecard.
