Overwhelm Is On You

Published: Jan. 4, 2021, midnight

Sometimes we can feel as though we're carrying far too much stress, and that the world itself is responsible for the extra burden. But as John Paul discusses in this week's show, the problem may begin with us... KEY TAKEAWAYS You are not being overwhelmed because of external forces. You are the one responsible for taking on extra work, or arranging your life in such a way that challenges cause problems. You are the master of your own destiny. By not taking action when things get tough, the problems only increase. It's up to us to take control. Remember that we can only control the things in our own power. Don't let it get you down if something happens that derails you. Learn to deal and get through it. BEST MOMENTS 'You'll be the chaos, you'll be the disruptor!' 'I'm saying this because I have been overwhelmed' 'The only thing we can control is ourself'  ABOUT THE HOST John Paul Reilly is a 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.
