Build Business WITHOUT the Hustle (Graham Cochrane)

Do you have to be online ALL the time to build community? Do we have to sacrifice several years of relationships and health in order to reach the level of success that we want to see? Is that simply the trade-off that we have to expect?

This is a VERY relevant topic for me and several people that I know. We know we feel “called” to do certain work but it feels as though that requires us to work ALL of the time and “hustle” in order to see results. Our guest this week has a very counter-cultural and powerful viewpoint on how we can succeed in our businesses WITHOUT neglecting things that we value.

This isn’t just his opinion either, Graham Cochrane has built two very successful businesses, The Recording Revolution, and his personal business, ALL while taking time off, working a set amount of hours a week, and making his family a priority. In this episode, he shares exactly how he did it.
