Hi everyone, thank you for tuning in - this will be 1st of many interviews that I do with people that I think will help you, mentally and physically within your work and personal life.  On this video is one of my best friends James Rubin who is the CEO of a leading Waste Management Company in the UK His journey is pretty crazy - from  never living up to the high expectations from school , to picking up a book that changed his whole life and set him on this journey and mission to have an industry that is customer focused and to be environmentally friendly.  Not everyone would see waste management as exciting but James knows his WHY and it helps him everyday to use this vehicle to change the world and make an impact James has been great at setting up a structure within his business where after close to 8 years of work 12-15 hours a day has been able to step back and allow the machine to run. That is so important because it now allows him to focus on going to the next level  Parts of his journey have had supposed failures but James has taken on these challenges and now actually grown the business.  You do not learn from success, you learn from failures , that is what makes you stronger.

James mentioned a number of books that has helped him to grow 

 Rich Dad Poor Dad - Robert Kiyosaki 

Think and Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill

E- Myth - Michael Gerber  

Chris Howard course - leaders course 

Victor Frankel - man search for meaning 

Simon Sinek - starting from why 

I asked James for 5 tips that will help to motivate and inspire 

1- Have Gratitude 

2- How you speak to yourself internally  

3- Meditation   

4- practicing non judgement      with other people but also the situation you are in 

5- We are here to serve others within business  

Hope you enjoy the video, please comment and let me know your thoughts
