Starting from Nothing - The Foundation Podcast | Building your business ENTIRELY from scratch.

One of the great things about The Foundation is that we are learning the ups and downs of entrepreneurship with you. Sometimes it`s really not easy and we all feel like giving up, but Andy Drish believes that this is all part of the cycle of the rollercoaster of entrepreneurship. By understanding this, we can change our mindsets, embrace it and make it work to our advantage.

Andy Drish spent 10 years of his life trying to figure out why he was put on this planet. After reading countless books, attending conferences and even spending 10 days with a shaman in Peru, he eventually began to get it. He came to the conclusion that we all have a unique genius, a reason for existence which is specific to each one of us, and by discovering what our unique genius is, we can lead a happy and fulfilled life in abundance and perfect alignment.

To move from a wantrepreneur to an entrepreneur can be more difficult that it seems. It’s not just about having an idea for a business and implementing it, it’s a complete shift in mindset.

What changed to make Ryan Fletcher’s commissions go from $8K to over $182K in one year? He studied, and changed and pioneered his approach.

One of The Foundation’s teachers, Rob Scott managed to turn his life around by experiencing a ‘fundamental shift’. He not only helps The Foundation students in the identity shifting module – the part that helps them prepare mentally for entrepreneurship, but also through his day to day work as a life coach, helping people to see the world from different perspectives and re-write the story of their lives.

He has gone from growing up in a small town in Iowa, through corporate America and then, with a little help from Tony Robbins and Dane, finally ended up starting up The Foundation. Andy believes that his life has changed radically because of his change of focus in his life and discovering that everyone has the potential to create whatever they want in life.
