Ep.9: Sharn Piper — The choices you make define your life and your career
Sharn Piper describes his childhood as a mix of Once were Warriors and Gloriavale. Despite growing up surrounded by gangs, violence, drugs and alcohol, Sharn managed to avoid following in the footsteps of his father.
He left school at the age of 14, qualified as a builder, started his first company at 17 and grew it to over $20million dollars by the age of 20.
Then the Global Financial Crisis hit and Sharn had to start all over again. Today, he's the CEO of Attain, a Revenue Growth Agency, specialising in Sales and Marketing integration.
In this episode Sharn talks about...
— the power of choices and the decisions we make;
— how his dysfunctional childhood forced him to grow up fast and fend for himself;
— lessons learned as a teenage labourer on the building sites;
— coping with depression, pride and ego to rebuild his life and career from the ruins of the GFC;
— how selling fire extinguishers helped him find his spark again;
— why he's so passionate about sales and helping other businesses achieve their targets;
... and much more.
