Building Freedom

In this episode of The Building Freedom Podcast, Randy Stanbury—founder of 4 Level Coach and veteran business coach—dives into one of the most powerful truths in business: your destiny is shaped by the decisions you make every day.Randy explores how seemingly small choices—whether it's creating a clear vision, mastering your pricing, investing in systems, or going all-in on software—can have a massive compound effect over time. These aren't just business tactics; they're decisions that directly impact your freedom, income, and long-term success.You'll also get a preview of Randy's upcoming book that contrasts two builders on different paths, showing how decision-making creates two very different outcomes—one stuck on the hamster wheel, the other building a freedom-based business machine. If you like what you're listening to, we would love it if you could give us a 5-star review!
