Lifestyle business owner Brendan Torazzi only ever works on, not in, his four lifestyle businesses | #434
Brendan Torazzi is a lifestyle entrepreneur owning a number of businesses that, whilst not providing 100% passive income, certainly place him in a position where he can work on them and not in them, as well as travel the world with his family. The businesses cover a few different industries including OH&S, weddings and holiday rentals! But it hasn’t all been a bed of roses for Brendan as you’re about to find out.
“I’ve been practicing meditation daily since 2003 … so all of these little breakdowns I’ve had … rather than having one big one, I have these mini breakdowns, and it’s the meditation that’s enabled me to cope with them along the way.”
