Work Less Wednesday: December 10

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hey Reader!

This is issue #183 of Work Less Wednesday, where I share with you 5 things you should know about, in 5 minutes or less. That leaves you with 10,075 other minutes this week.

๐ŸŽง 2. If You Only Listen To One Podcast This Week, Make It This One - โ€œHow I Make Life-Changing Decisionsโ€โ€‹

Incredible podcast with my friends Jon Courtney + Blake La Grange on making life-changing decisions, intuition, authenticity, success, and more.

โ€‹Highly recommended.โ€‹


๐ŸŽ 3. Gift Guide For (Highly) Sensitive People - By Julia Christinaโ€‹

Great holiday gift guide that also doubles as a primer on what it means to be a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person).

HSPs are a subset of the population (up to 30%) high in a trait called sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS). High levels of SPS manifest as heightened emotional sensitivity, stronger reactivity to both external and internal stimuli (pain, hunger, light, and noise), and a complex inner life. HSPs are not just โ€œmore emotionalโ€, their brains literally react more deeply to stimuli, which translates to a more sensitive nervous system.

๐Ÿ’ฐ 4. My Latest Substack Post - Clients Pay More When You Tell Them โ€œNoโ€โ€‹

Something every entrepreneur needs to understand:

Most clients will not pay a ton of money for someone to tell them that theyโ€™re right.

If you want to really make a lot of money, you need to stop โ€œServicingโ€ clients, and start โ€œServingโ€ them.

โ€‹Read on to find out how.โ€‹


๐Ÿ– 5. More Things I'm Into This Week...

๐ŸŽง What Iโ€™m Listening To - John Scofield - Rule Of Thumb - 13 July 1986 โ€ข World of Jazzโ€‹

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ Great Interview - Inner Excellence Author Jim Murphy on The Knowledge Projectโ€‹

๐Ÿ“ฑ App Iโ€™m Checking Out - Coherence Breathworkโ€‹

๐Ÿง  LEGO Iโ€™m Building - Mineral Collectionโ€‹

๐Ÿ’ฌ Quote Iโ€™m Ponderingโ€ฆ

โ€œThe unresolved issues within oneself set the limits of oneโ€™s effectiveness in helping others. It may be tempting, but it is self-deceiving to believe that what one says can communicate more powerfully than what one manifests in oneโ€™s person. We must become what we wish to teach.โ€


How we can work together

When youโ€™re ready, here are two free ways I can help you:

  • ๐Ÿ‘ค My Substack. My weekly Substack inner entrepreneur discusses the internal side of entrepreneurship - mindset & growth.
  • ๐ŸŽง My Podcast. Listen to or watch my free podcast The Rich Webster Show. It is an unfiltered look behind the scenes at my life and work.

And two paid engagements:

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ How To Charge More (WAITLIST). I will teach you how to raise your prices. By a lot. Coming in January, enter your email to join the waitlist.
  • ๐Ÿค Consulting. (ALL SLOTS TAKEN) Join the waitlist to work closely with me. Most will not be a fit. For 7-8 figure entrepreneurs.

๐Ÿ˜Š Have a great week - Rich
