Developing The Entrepreneurial Spirit - with Nathan Winch Nov 19, 2021

Show notes

Today I’m On a Mission with private equity investor and serial entrepreneur Nathan Winch, a man who has skill for seeing the opportunities everywhere as he quietly acquires business after business and takes the world by storm.

Ironically Nathan is beat known for founding Blue Bricks magazine and Preneur Capital which only make up the smallest part of his business empire. We talk about why networking can accelerate our entrepreneurial journey and the challenges he has faced during his incredible rise to success at such a young age.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We're often taught that careers, and working for other people, are the only way to carve out a future for ourselves. But the entrepreneurs among us can see the other pathways that serve us far better.
Networking is the most powerful way of incentivising people. By attracting the right people and fortifying our teams, we build strength and a foundation for the future.
We do not necessarily need to master every area of business, but surround ourselves with those who do, and develop ways in which to lead them.
We should never judge potential partners and investors on the money they bring to the table. It's far better to find someone who aligns to your values, than someone with bottomless reserves of cash.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was the kid selling sweets at school'

'This entrepreneurial flair has always been there'

'I was almost like the conductor of the orchestra'

'It's a skill in itself, being able to know who to approach in the first instance'

Being The Best Begins With Knowing Yourself Better - with Mike Zeller Nov 15, 2021

Show notes

This week, I’m On a Mission with Mike Zeller, a serial entrepreneur whose businesses have achieved over $300 million in revenue, a joint venture partner in over twenty businesses, an author, coach, and mentor to many high performing entrepreneurs around the world.

Mike talks about the highs and lows of his journey, in which he has lost it all and built it all back once more, his personal mission is to help a million people figure out their own genius, and how by knowing ourselves better we can become the best leaders in the world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We all have genius in side of us, but to bring it out takes special care, and less of a reliance on the system, such as formal education and society in general, which only helps the few to ascend.
True power begins inside of us. Until we know ourselves better, we cannot hope to know the world around us. The best leaders invest in knowing themselves better on a day to day basis.
We cannot hope to reach our goals if we spend our entire lives in emulating others. We need to be ourselves at all times, for that is the only way to carve out our own unique path in life.
We restore and nourish our creative sides by breaking the patterns from time to time - by disrupting the routines and searching for ways to fill the creative banks inside us.

BEST MOMENTS

'My mission to help a million people figure out their genius'

'To know thyself is the beginning of all wisdom'

'Be yourself, everybody else is taken'

'We have an obligation to find that space for creativity, for that space of genius'

Find Happiness and Fulfilment Through Trusting Yourself - with Adam Roa Nov 12, 2021

Show notes

The law of attraction was in full force for this one.

This week I’m On a Mission with Adam Roa, a musician, poet, filmmaker, performer, coach, speaker and influencer who has done some amazing work.

But that’s not what attracted me to him.

A random video was doing the rounds on social media which I happened to find hilarious and forwarded to a few friends, one of which recognised him as they’d worked together years ago and the rest is history!

Once I’d discovered his name there was no way I wasn’t going to get him on the podcast. The universe made sure of that!

Adam is a great guy with a unique message, we talk about his fascinating journey, what's wrong with the system and how the decision around the vaccination corrupts our creative instincts, the spiritual awakening that shaped his current outlook, and why we may be facing a much more dangerous and insidious pandemic than the one we know about...

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When people are insecure, they can go one of two directions - they can internalise and never speak their mind, or they can overcompensate with extroversion.
We often attach our own happiness to physical possessions, aspirations or achievements. But this practice is often a simple quick fix, a papering over of the cracks, without examining the root cause of the insecurities that have led us to this point.
The system is not designed to encourage creativity or free expression. Instead it asks us to merely repeat back facts so that we become conditioned to be good workers and follow rules and norms set out for us by those on high.
We are facing a much larger and more dangerous pandemic than COVID. The mental health pandemic is crushing souls and causing misery by instilling beliefs of disillusion and inferiority among people who believe that they cannot conform to society's rules.

BEST MOMENTS

'We're made to feel that "If I follow those rules and I'm not happy, then I've done something wrong, and therefore there is something wrong with me"'

'Popularity is a game to some degree'

'It's an extension of the world that I want for myself and everyone else'

'My logical mind said it would be more illogical to believe that this is all coincidence'

The Art Of Healing Through Listening - with Dr. Fred Moss Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

Dr. Fred Moss is an author, podcaster, and a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a licensed psychiatrist who has served the mental health industry for nearly four decades. During that time he has consulted patients, practitioners, medical facilities, non-profit organisations, and community groups.

Ellie talks to Dr Fred about the ways in which he is challenging the status quo with the phenomenal work he is doing, why he believes so strongly in the power of communication, and why challenging the accepted knowledge and asking questions is the way we can all truly become better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Communication, both speaking and listening, is the bedrock upon which empires are built. If we develop and grow our skills in this crucial field, then we are truly developing our ability to change the world for the better.
We cannot always put our behavioural patterns down to some quirk in our personalities, or some medical condition. We must recognise that human beings are complicated machines, and would rather apportion blame to a condition than take responsibility sometimes.
We can often fall under the control fo self-perpetuating conditions and use medication as a crutch that does us no good. We must seek to break away from our diagnosis and look internally for the cure.
Our children are precious and must be given room to grow and learn without the addition of potentially harmful medicines that do little nurture individuality. Instead of seeking medical remedies first, we should seek to discover where the cause of the problems lie.
The saddest thing about the pandemic has been the division that has arisen from proposed methods to move on. We must seek to bring communities back together and work for a fruitful cooperative solution instead of segregation.

BEST MOMENTS

'I made it my business to get really good at communicating'

'I became someone who was really committed to making sure that each and every person, worldwide, could know that their voice was heard'

'Under no circumstances am I diminishing the power of the misery of what it is to be alive sometimes'

'You're just a human walking through the world, and as far as I know, you don't know what your next step looks like'

'Living this life is a dream come true'

Relationships Are The Highest Form Of Currency - with Liz Baitson Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Whether online or offline, relationships count for far more than we may realise, especially when it comes to building a successful property investing journey. No one understands the importance of this better than this week's guest, Liz Baitson, the founder of High Net Connect, designed to facilitate excellent and impactful business, social and philanthropic relationships for high net worth investors.

Liz discusses her property journey, the power of building your network, and how by fostering relationships that last, we create a durable foundation upon which to found our property ambitions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life can easily slip into a routine of living a life on someone else's terms, and falling accidentally into a routine that is not fulfilling. However, we can break the cycle by taking a brave leap towards independence.
Even the stinging failures can provide us with lessons that remain invaluable throughout our career. Failure instantly ingrains learnings upon our memory.
Do your due diligence before you associate with anyone or partner with people. It's an unfortunate fact of business, but there are many out there who can talk the talk, but until we start transacting, we can't truly see what people are made of.
Property events are all opportunities for advancement in some way, but in order to find the truly sought-after individuals, we must look for the events that carry another level of attendees - those looking for high-level, hands-off investment.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm just figuring out who I am, and that's key to figuring out what you wan to do in life'

'There's got be more to life than being a small cog in a massive machine'

'When you're not yourself, you can't access your source power'

'You don't have to be a genius to succeed, but you do have to learn from your mistakes'

Mastering Life And Destiny - with Dr. John Demartini Nov 01, 2021

Show notes

Dr. John Demartini, known as the "Godfather Of Personal Development", is a polymath and a world-renowned human behaviour expert, with a four-decade body of work and studies into the human condition that has been described as "an extensive library of wisdom" and "wisdom of the highest and most valuable order".

In this very special episode, Ellie is on a mission to get to know the man whose own mission in life has always been to share knowledge and wisdom that empowers the world, enabling all to become masters of their own lives and destinies.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Challenges are there to be overcome, with each providing lessons that help us throughout life, and opportunities to show gratitude. Surmounting these obstacles provides fuel for future growth.
What we think about ourselves, what we visualise for ourselves, and what we say to ourselves, followed by the actions and directions we take, determine our personal destinies.
Prioritising is crucial in self-development. We only have so much time in a day, and so many years of life to enjoy. It is incumbent upon us to make sure that the knowledge we use to feed our minds is of the highest quality.
We must ask questions so as to reveal the downsides of what we admire and the upsides of what we despise, and hold ourselves accountable, then we balance the equation and cease to be controlled by the world around us.

BEST MOMENTS

'Whatever happens in your life is ultimately on the way, not in the way'

'You have a body, you have a mind, and you have a soul'

'My dream is to make a contribution on the planet'

'The voice and the vision on the inside has got to be louder than all the opinions on the outside'

The More You Put Into Life, The More You Get Out - with Dean Kelly Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

This week, Ellie talks to serial entrepreneur and recruitment specialist, Dean Kelly, who reached the level of multi-millionaire before the age of 30, became CEO of a nine-figure PLC, and who has spent his career in acquisitions and advisory roles for CEOs and government officials.

Dean discusses his beginnings in business, why aspirations can help to push us further, the importance of setting goals and how they helped his own journey, and how you can always get more out of life if you work hard for it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We never truly know where life will take us when we are in our youth. We try many things until we find the path that fits the fire within us.
Aspiration is not a bad thing. Looking at the achievements and gains of others pushes us to want to do better and to reach those heights for ourselves.
The ones who make it are the ones who understand that the more you put into life, the more you get out. they are the ones who have a real fire in their belly, and who aren't afraid to work hard.
We can level the world of recruitment by offering a more balanced and weighted approach to hiring that removes the stigmas surrounding seats of learning and takes skills into account, instead of background.

BEST MOMENTS

'The way I spoke to compared to the way they spoke was very different...'

'Sometimes in life you have to pivot. You realise that you're going down the wrong avenue and that you're somebody different'

'The more you put in the more you get out'

'I'm on a mission to make recruitment fair'

How To Build An 8-Figure Property Portfolio - with Sarah McDermott Oct 22, 2021

Show notes

Ellie is joined by Sarah McDermott, who along with her husband, has in three short years built an eight-figure property portfolio, specialising in high-end exquisite, luxury serviced accommodation.

Sarah joins Ellie to discuss her incredible success story, the power of networks and how they can accelerate your investing journey, and why investing in yourself is the key to financial freedom.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Life is sometimes about taking risks. Many believe that when our backs are against the wall we should play it safe, but these are the times that test us, and when we realise what we're capable of.
When we create a network, we empower our reach. Building trust among others is the gateway to opportunity. Our network is our net worth.
The key to finding your niche is to identify the area not being served by others and filling that need. For Sarah, taking her property to the next level has proved fruitful as she is serving a very high-end need.
In the beginning of our journey, we often feel the need to take on more and more in order to secure an income. But this can lead to overwhelm. Know your limits and stick to them.

BEST MOMENTS

'Sometimes people's success speaks so loudly that you can't ignore them'

'It was an adventure and we met so many people that we've stuck with'

'If you go to outstanding, then the difference you can command is outstanding'

'Don't try to do too much at once. It's not very clever'

Build Your Assets And Secure Your Future - with Ken Mack Oct 18, 2021

Show notes

Ellie is in discussion with serial entrepreneur, Ken Mack - a man who has raised himself up from humble beginnings to become a global leader in mergers and acquisitions.

Ken talks about what's driven him to do better all his life, what has drawn him to the world of acquisitions, why assets value so much, and why he has chosen to raise others up through knowledge and mind-set.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We use the gifts and skills we have to help ourselves, but there comes a point in all our lives, when we must give back and use our talents to raise others up.
Many think that the traditional pension route provides for our futures, when in fact we should be looking to build assets that will provide for life.
In life, and in business, there are ups and downs. The true success is found by those who develop the resilience to pick themselves back up after a setback and use what they've learned in order to overcome.
Those in power have spent much time in developing ways of influencing and controlling. They play upon our insecurities and condition us not to question the factors that affect our life.

BEST MOMENTS

'I went on a mission to help other people'

'I wasn't handed anything in life so I always had to make my own money'

'I got most enjoyment out of innovating, creating things, and being part of a deal'

'I created a coaching programme so that I can give back to people what I never had'
