How to Avoid & Climb Out from Rock Bottom 🙏🏻 💪🏻🌞

Mindset Explosion - Season 4, Episode 26

Today I‘m joined by Henri Ghijben a Property investor and Tree Surgery Business owner in Southampton UK.

Henri built his first business from a one man band working from a rented garage with a £10k loan, to a 47 staff 2 million pound turnover company.

In 2019 Henri lost his first business, going on to lose his family home.

Hitting rock bottom it tested Henri’s resilience to nearly breaking point.

Henri admits he did not have the right systems and numbers in place and was out of his depth with his own knowledge of business.

He started again and in 2019 and Henri is now on the journey again, but doing it the right way this time.

Taking a lot of time reading and learning, Henri has placed himself in a position where he is getting traction in his second business.

While on this new journey Henri is passionate about sharing his story and the lessons he learned to try and help others to not hit rock bottom like he did.

With a huge passion for business , Henri is extremely ambitious and wants to be involved in more in the future to create wealth, so he can give back to his community, while helping people with mental health and addiction.

Make Today a Great Day

Peace ✌🏻and Love 🤟🏻
