In 2010, after reading "The Science of Getting Rich" by Wallace Wattles and "Law of Success" by Napoleon Hill he got his answer.

Success starts with Mindset and Intention, subjects they don't teach in CPA school. Joe learned that this was the true culprit in business failure on top of an overly complex tax and compliance system making it nearly impossible to start a business and stay in business. His primary purpose has become teaching entrepreneurs the fundamental principles of success combined with the practical knowledge acquired as a CPA.

New business owners start out with the odds stacked against them and the solution is education and guidance. Joe provides affordable business training and guidance through www.bedrockuniversity.com. and a full range of accounting services at a fraction of what most CPA firms charge through www.bedrockbusinessbuilders.com.

Show notes

WHR 3.38 : Chris Delaney Oct 25, 2021

Show notes

SHOW NOTES

Good Note: With low self-esteem from a young age, Chris always found himself in dead-end low paying jobs. Even landing himself a job paying 1£ an hour. Chris had a calling in life that he always wanted to help people but didn't know how to make income in doing so. It started by helping with youth groups and disabled people with activities which came naturally to him. Later being asked to become a forklift instructor for the company he worked for, because of the "magic whisper " that helped anxious colleagues.

Bad Note: Bad notes happen all the time. With that same forklift job, Chris had to go assess other company drivers. Along with that came writing which Chris had a hard time with being dyslexic. He managed to find a methods that helped him better understand spelling in a way that just made sense to him and enabled him to persevere. With new ways and perspectives, there is always a way.

Practice makes Progress: It becomes a subconscious thing with a lot of practice. Life is like learning a musical instrument, you hit your bad notes until you become aware of what it is you're doing, and what can be done about it. Then the confidence in the subject will spread to different areas in your life. Momentum creates motivation.

Instruments: All about asking right questions to get people to think in a certain way.

Learning from the best: It doesn't always need to be a professional paid coach, it can be friends and family depending on who you surround yourself with. Reassurance is good but mentors will pick it apart and challenge you to grow. Mentors come in all different ways such as books, films, music, etc… Listen and reflect constantly.
