Episode 760: The 7 Digital CEO Disciplines for Working Less To Make More

Episode 760: The 7 Digital CEO Disciplines for Working Less To Make More

Author: James Wedmore May 12, 2025 Duration: 53:24

Are you feeling like you're grinding but going nowhere? If you're working hard but feel like you're not getting ahead, then this episode is for you! What if I told you that there was a different way to run your digital business, where you'll actually work less and make more?

I've been in the online space for awhile now, since 2007, and over the years I've had to learn what it takes to not only run but grow a digital business…without burning out and hitting a wall! I attribute much of me being able to do this to a set of principles, or disciplines, and I share 7 of them with you today. 

This conversation is about stepping into your power as the Digital CEO, working smarter (not harder), and finally building a business that fuels your life, not drains it.

There's a common thread running through the stories of many entrepreneurs who feel stuck despite all their effort, a sense that the relentless hustle isn't yielding the results they envisioned. The Mind Your Business Podcast, hosted by seven-figure entrepreneur James Wedmore, digs into that very gap between effort and outcome. James operates from a conviction that lasting success is less about copying another person's tactics and more about cultivating the right internal foundations. He argues that mindset ultimately trumps strategy, that there's an essential magic beyond mere metrics, and that your core attitude dictates the effectiveness of your actions. Each episode serves as a practical dialogue aimed at untangling the complex web of entrepreneurial psychology, moving beyond superficial tips to explore how mental frameworks directly influence business decisions and growth. You'll hear candid reflections on shifting from scarcity to abundance, the role of intuition in data-driven environments, and how to lead with clarity instead of fear. This isn't about discarding hard work, but about aligning it with a purposeful and resilient perspective. For anyone building a venture, this podcast provides a necessary counterbalance to the conventional grind narrative, offering a space to reconsider what truly drives a sustainable and fulfilling business life. Tune in for conversations that reorient your focus from just managing a business to thoughtfully minding it.
