Copying a lifestyle business model won’t fix your week. The schedule is easy to replicate. Everything underneath the schedule is not. James shares the story behind the donkey on the bridge, from a knife-wielding boss in a Mercedes-Benz dealership in 2004 through building a 67-person business to a seven-figure operation running on 10 hours a week.
