Be Flexible
The more flexible you are, the more positives you’ll be able to find in any negative situation. That’s the empowering message from John Paul in this week’s show, as he discusses the positive nature of flexibility. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being flexible and understanding is crucial to making sure your reputation does not suffer when problems arise. Panic seems to be our default when issues arise. Take a breath, calm yourself, and look at the problem objectively. There’s always a solution. Transparency is key when it comes to customers. Be honest about challenges that may be holding you up. Even if they’re not happy about it, at least they’ll appreciate your honesty. We’ve gone through some tumultuous times, and yet so many businesses have turned negatives into positives. Look for the ways in which you can do the same. BEST MOMENTS ‘The more problems you solve, the easier it becomes to solve them’ ‘All these positives came out of that negative situation’ ‘Always be upfront and honest with your clients’ ‘There’s always a lesson in it. There’s always a bit of teaching in it’ ABOUT THE HOST John Paul Reilly is dyslexic business man who left school just before his 16th birthday, barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers). Written off, like most kids who struggled at school, and being told by his woodwork teacher he was “nothing, and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award-winning company in the construction industry . A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way. Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
