Going Broke To Look Good
In this week's episode, John Paul talks about living up to other's expectations, the misconceptions that people can have about each other, and why it's far more important to be true to ourselves. KEY TAKEAWAYS People assume that just because others are business owners, they have lots of cash in the bank. unfortunately, many business owners attempt to live up to this image, when the reality is different. Living up to an image that isn't true can incur suddenly setbacks. It's far better to make sure you have enough money for the things that matter. You don't need to spend money to prove you're a good person, even when it comes to charity. As long as you're making a positive difference to yourself, that's all that matters BEST MOMENTS 'There's an image that people have in their head, that all business people are rich' 'There's people who have an image in their heads of what they want to be like' 'You don't need to be that guy' 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.
