17: The Three Keys to Achieving Success Without Regrets w/ David Ridley
“Do you really think you can build this business?”
That’s what someone asked David Ridley during the early stages of his startup real estate investment firm.
Well, David was able to build the business. The firm he founded and lead as CEO, Invesco Real Estate, grew to over $65 billion in assets under management with 20 offices scattered around the world.
But that’s not the most important part of the story.
The most crucial part of David’s story is not that he was able to achieve success. It’s that he was able to achieve success, without regrets.
In the early days of company formation, David sat at a conference table with his partners. That day, they made a pledge they were not going to pay the price that so many pay to be successful. They weren’t going to sacrifice their families. They wouldn’t give in to alcoholism or pride.
How’d they do it?
Well, that’s what David came on the latest episode of the Lead to Grow podcast to talk about.
Here’s what he had to say about the three pillars of achieving success without regret.
