EP 14: Scratching Your Individual Itch with Chris Small

Published on: 29th April, 2020

Sometimes, small actions lead to huge outcomes. Daily blog posts turn from a simple exercise in journaling to new parts of your business (or even a new business) you never planned on. In any case, finding what fulfills you is an excellent first step. 

It goes without saying that most of the unconventional people in the world don't fit into any one mold, and Chris Small is no exception. Originally an attorney, Chris found that his interests lay less in the law and more in the realms of building systems, sharing his wisdom with other law firm owners and creating high-quality content. Currently, Chris owns a law firm alongside his consulting business, and a media agency, all of which tie together what fills Chris up and drives him forward. 

This episode of the Rigging the Game podcast features Dan and Chris discussing how Chris landed where he is now by "scratching his own itch," how to decide what it is that you actually want, in business and in life, and resisting the "yo-yo" mentality in order to set up sustainable, fulfilling habits that take you where you want to go. Listen in to find your ideal and start pursuing it. 


What You’ll Learn 


  • Why the common image of a business that goes from 0-100 very quickly is misleading
  • How to start to navigate the pressures and comparisons of those around you to get to what makes you happy and fulfilled
  • What philosophies Chris has in mind that make up his idea of a perfect day
  • And much more!


Favorite Quote


“You have to take some action. If you want to see results in your life, you have to be willing to put some work in and find a way to enjoy the process. You have to find some way to be able to wake up every day and do the things that you need to do to get to where you want to go.”
