Scottish property expert, podcaster and entrepreneur Steven Clark joins John Paul in this episode of Why I Do It. Together, they discuss the benefits of turning your passion into your income, why creating a strong network of people can massively expand your business opportunities and how to maintain a work life balance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Try and make your passion your income, that way you won't resent work. When you are working for the man, it doesn't matter how hard you work, you always get paid the same.
  • You need to make sure you have the right network. Your business opportunities will massively expand when you surround yourself with the right people. They will open your eyes to new beginnings, new beliefs and can change everything for you.
  • When you are surrounded by friends and family who are not in business it is hard to grow and expand your mindset. Being around hungry, passionate and driven people can help change your mindset and you will learn so much more than you could have ever imagined.
  • You never know who you are going to meet within your network that you may end up doing a joint venture with. Being an entrepreneur allows you to be flexible and brings with it excitement as you do not know what is coming next for you.
  • In order to get the right work life balance it is important to try and be present in the moment. If you are working, focus on your work and do not get distracted by social media or your phone. If you are with your family, don’t become distracted by work tasks or emails.

Written off like most kids who struggled at school and being told by his woodwork teacher he “was nothing and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award winning company in the construction industry . A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
