The Business of Life Club Podcast

Kindness. Others. Truth. The three pillars of life. For me anyway… I’ve long being thinking of a great mantra to have. A tool that I can use everyday to get the very best out of life. To get the best out of life I want to be happy. I want to be responsible for making others happy. And I want to hear great stories, to try to learn from everybody I meet. If I can do these three things every day, life will be pretty great. Here's how I think i'll be able to do it.

The only person you should ever compare yourself to is yourself. Every time you pay attention to other people’s lives you take energy away from your own progress. More and more self-doubt creeps in and nothing happens. This is a big problem with social media… Do not compare yourself to the bullshit lives of others. No one ever posts about the real stuff and the shit they have gone through. They post about that one time they got a ride in a Ferrari or that one time they got upgraded for free to business class. You don’t hear about how they just lost all their money in the casino, but they will flash their cash and ‘check in’ beforehand. You hear about everyone’s winning bets on Facebook but never about all the money that they lose. You see pictures of the food that turned out well, not their burnt toast. They edit pictures of themselves and their partners to make them look less ugly. There's a lot to take away from this one so give it a listen!

This is how to get out of a rut. Ever since I did, i've felt like a kid again. Like everything is new. Everything that was dragging me down, now feels like a new opportunity. Opportunities seem like they're everywhere. Opportunities to live, learn, and succeed. To be happier than ever before. If you're feeling a bit down, stuck, or unsure of your next move -- this is for you!

Everything can be fun, even when it’s not… Most emotional reactions in life manifest from mindset. If you tell yourself something is going to suck, then it will. If you’re excited about something, you’ll likely enjoy it more. How you approach one thing should be how you approach everything. Ideally, positively and with enthusiasm. This is important, I think you might be wasting 71.5% of your life. Have a listen as I deep dive into some critical life hacks and mindset shifts to help you LIVE life and win. This one is not to be missed!

"I was having a nightmare of a day. The meeting had gone well but my car was almost out of fuel twenty miles from home. The fuel input hole had jammed making refuelling impossible. I went to five petrol stations. At each one I had the same problem. The nozzle wouldn’t go in the hole! I went to two mechanics, neither had ever seen anything like it. Obviously, I made them aware that I usually have no problem getting it in the hole. But this time, it seemed hopeless. I was out of options." Have a listen to hear the full story and to understand why having empathy is so critical to success in life. Hope you enjoy this episode, it's definitely a very embarrassing one for me to be sharing with you!

The formality limits the creative. It creates robots out of potentially great people. It champions being similar when all we need is different skills, opinions, and perspectives.

Formality takes the human out of us. I want to speak to everyone I meet like we’ve met down the pub or on a stag do. I want to make friends not associates. I want to get the best out of everyone around me by allowing them to be real. Encouraging them to act with the same level of freedom that got them to where they are.

But what about all the negative opinions of others in the industry?

Be good enough so you don’t have to care!

If someone asked you, ‘what’s one crazy thing that you actually believe to be true?’ what would your answer be? Mine is – life is just an act. I get to choose who I am going to be in my own scene in the movie of life. And I’m crazy enough to put it into practice, this is why you should, too…

Today is the best day ever because you get to start… Whether you’ve been successfully executing your plans for years, or you’re looking for complete reinvention in 2018, today you get to start the next chapter. You’re the youngest you’re ever going to be again, use that to your advantage. Here's how you can do that...
