He wants to inspire you to create your own work. He teaches self-management skills to the side hustlers, freelancers and solopreneurs. He’s been self-employed for the past 17 years.

I have a new long-term friend in Stephen Warley. The dude is centered, sharp, and extremely passionate about improving other's lives. When it comes to the future of work, how to become self-employed and how to achieve self-awareness, Stephen is the guy to talk to.

Awesome quote from Stephen:

"Before "stuff" (things you have, buy, status symbols, "the end goal" etc), comes money. Before money, comes relationships. Before relationships, comes knowing who to reach out to. Before knowing who to reach out to, comes understanding yourself, your values, your needs, and your abilities."
