Introduction to Why I Do It
Welcome to Why I Do It, a 'straight-to-the-point' podcast, covering everything learned in business by your host, John Paul Reilly (mostly the hard way!). John’s intention is to help others not to make the same mistakes, to learn from his experiences, and join in on the discussion. In this first episode, meet John Paul, and welcome to the show! KEY TAKEAWAYS Many of the most valuable lessons are learned by making mistakes. Listening to the experiences of others can give you the same teachings, but without the pain! Part of having a business are the problems. You encounter them, you face them, you overcome them, and you learn from them. BEST MOMENTS ‘I’m not claiming to be the expert or the know-all of everything’ ‘That one mistake cost me thousands of pounds!’ 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.
