## Resource

Most entrepreneurs start a business for one reason: freedom. Freedom to choose how they spend their time. Freedom to build wealth. Freedom to live life on their own terms. But somewhere along the way, many achieve the money they were chasing while losing the very freedom they wanted. In this bite-size episode of The Inner Entrepreneur, Paul is joined by Dr. Travis Parry to explore why so many successful business owners become trapped inside businesses they've already outgrown. Drawing on research with more than 2,500 entrepreneurial couples, Travis explains the three types of business owners, why hustle becomes addictive, and how subconscious fears—not a lack of systems—are often what keep entrepreneurs working 70 or 80-hour weeks. Together, Paul and Travis explore the deeper psychology behind overwork, the impact it has on relationships and family, and why genuine freedom starts by changing the beliefs that drive our behaviour. If you've built a successful business but still struggle to step away from it, this conversation may help you understand why.
