Today our podcast guest is Andrew Laurie, whose business expertise comes from a career as a salesperson, as a CEO, as an entrepreneur and as a business coach.

After a serious accident, Andrew set his life and business ambitions – literally from the hospital bed – and he has systematically ticked them off since then.

Andrew has fantastic insights and advice from his experiences that we delve into in the interview.

We go through:

• Where to start with setting your goals (tip: start with personal goals, and business goals will follow…)
• How to reverse engineer and know what steps will get you there
• The non-negotiable traits of a business owners (there’s two… and a half – in Andrew’s experience)
• Avoiding the impatience and frustration of founding and growing a business… how to keep a positive mindset and move forwards
• The biggest challenges facing business owners (there’s one that Andrew sees time and time again)
• How to overcome said challenges
