KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • My remit is to help people develop their entrepreneurial thinking so they can have the life they desire and there are many vehicles that can be used to help achieve this.
  • There is no typical day, but I wake up with the intention of changing one person’s life per day.
  • This could be through a conversation, a tweet or professional interaction.
  • I‘m all about helping people create the life they desire so they do what they love and love what they do.
  • How important is a winning mindset?
  • When you are dealing with any project it’s about where you are coming from. If you are coming from a place whereby it doesn’t empower you or you haven’t addressed the issues then they will resurface all the time
  • Mindset is core, if you don’t have the right foundations then you are operating from a more challenging place. It’s about continuous improvement.

    • Is there a common theme across the entrepreneurs you work with?

    • They are often too involved in themselves which disables them from taking action to make improvements and do what they need to do.
    • 95% of the time my clients intellectually know what to do.
    • As soon as you take action you fill a vacuum with something. That something is the indicator of your progress when we don’t take action we don’t have any indication of the progress we are making.
    • People don’t take action because they are fearful of the outcome.
    • We take fear to the level of self-importance as opposed to genuine fear.
    • No one individual knows their true potential that’s why you need a network of people around you to show you your blind spots. When you know what your true potential is you can act on it.
    • Successful people seek coaches because they recognise that they have not tapped into the extent of their potential.

      • How did you make the move from corporate?

      • I calculated the amount I needed I then attended every property event I could and educated myself about investing in property. I sat there and thought I’ve now got no excuse.
      • The majority of people give priority to security over doing what they are passionate about.
      • There is calculated risk but at times as an entrepreneur you have to make the jump and believe in yourself and what you are doing

        BEST MOMENTS

        ‘You must take some action it could be anything. One action could have a ripple effect’

        ‘If you choose to do nothing about it you have no reason to complain’

        ‘We’ve all got 24 hours in a day it’s how we use it’

        ‘The action is uncomfortable, so we don’t want to do it’

        ‘Procrastination is the thief of time’

        ‘When you are speaking it's not about you. You are just the catalyst it’s about the audience’

        ABOUT THE HOST

        I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
