The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Achieving Financial Freedom and a Fulfilling Life

In a recent episode of "The Thoughtful Entrepreneur," host Josh engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Aaron Marcum, a bestselling author and the founder of EntreThrive. The episode delves into Aaron's book, "EntreThrive," which outlines eight essential laws designed to help entrepreneurs achieve financial freedom while leading a fulfilling life. This blog post will break down each of these laws in detail, offering actionable advice and thorough explanations to guide entrepreneurs on their journey to success.

Josh opens the episode by sharing his extensive experience in the business world, having spoken with over 2,000 leaders about their best business practices. He offers a free video resource on his website, Up My Influence, aimed at helping entrepreneurs generate high-ticket sales appointments without relying on spam or ads. He then introduces Aaron Marcum, highlighting his background as a bestselling author and the founder of Entrethrive. Aaron's book, which features a foreword by renowned author Brian Tracy, is subtitled "An Entrepreneur's Eight Laws to Accelerate Financial Freedom While Creating the Good Life."

Aaron begins by discussing the concept of "the good life," a term rooted in Aristotle's philosophy. For Aristotle, the good life transcends mere life satisfaction; it embodies living a life worth living, or "eudaimonia." This idea emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to life, encompassing not just financial success but overall fulfillment. Aaron's insights into the good life were shaped during his Master of Applied Positive Psychology program at the University of Pennsylvania, where he studied under Martin Seligman, a leading figure in positive psychology. He emphasizes that the journey toward the good life involves understanding one's guiding truths—core beliefs that define who we are and what we aspire to be.
