She shares how she empowers others to “surrender to the do of life” while embracing a way of just being. She also explains how your time and money relate to your overall happiness, why asking for help and outsourcing tasks is a sign of strength and humanity, and how your sense of self-value and self-worth relates to where you decide to focus your time and energy.

Amanda O’Reilly’s Fun Frank Advice for Self-Made Millionaires & Wealthy Families:

• Observe from men. If we’re looking from a productive standpoint and a worth standpoint, men know there is only so much they will do in one day.
• Don’t harbor guilt.
• Your worth is not connected to your do.

 

Key Takeaways:

1. People think that having needs makes us needy, but it makes us human.
2. We’re not supposed to be superwoman. If you have ten balls in the air, nine are in freefall, so unless you work for Cirque du Soleil, you’re setting yourself up for a world of unhappiness.
3. A to-do list keeps you busy instead of creating a plan of action.
4. To surrender and admit that you can’t do something on your own is a strength; it’s bold, it’s human.
