Living your true calling, the antidote to burnout, & infusing business with love with Jeff Willmore
I have the privilege to interview my longtime coach and mentor Jeff Willmore on how do we transform the current reality of running a business, avoiding burnout, and making a living making our life, versus sacrificing our life for making a living. His hypothesis? It is inside of living true to our calling and aligning our work with who we really are, recognizing that the world out there will eat you alive if you don't create a distinct offer that has you stand out against all the noise. In the fall of 2020, in the brink of chronic fatigue syndrome, I actually began Jeff's yearlong business program, the Autonomy course, and it has and will continue to completely alter how I do business and how I get to live a life of joy, freedom, and purpose.
Jeff’s Bio
I have led transformational programs for over 23 years to over 160,000 people all over the world. I’ve worked with Olympic and professional athletes, Navy Seal and Special Forces members, top executives from all fields, Oscar winning actors, Grammy Award winning musicians—I’ve trained with the best and worked with the best! I owe much of my development, abilities and skills to the extensive training and development I got in transformational methodologies at Landmark Worldwide—very likely the top, personal transformational coaching faculty in the world.
I was lucky enough to be born into a life where I was destined have a fair amount of success and achievement (close family, college degree, successful entrepreneur and getting “more” successful, etc.) and yet I fell into the trap that the “Time = Money” worldview and illusion creates for all of us: I worked too much. I sacrificed many things that were important to me and the life I envisioned for myself and my family. I had an epiphany one night, woke up and realized how much I was sacrificing in order to have “success” in my career.
In my own transformative process and journey, I discovered for myself great achievement and accomplishment and how to help others attain it as well. Not just in one area—but throughout my life. I know how to teach and coach others to accomplish their professional dreams, their vision, their business goals while at the same time really living—travel, building wealth, family-time, taking care of your health, and living a life of contribution.
I help extraordinary people who are already performers or top performers leap to the next level and fulfill their vision by learning to see themselves, the marketplace and the world differently.
I have worked on the principles behind The Autonomy Course for over 10 years. I designed the Course using the latest research in cognitive science (How do we know what we know? How do we learn?), behavioral economics, ontology and biology. The unique structure and methodology deliberately steps away from the “tips and techniques” kind of business knowledge that betrays top performance and living true and instead, allows you to embody the advanced knowledge of a market leader and design leading edge practices based on your own original thinking.
