Which Room Are You In?
If you're in a room, and you think you're the smartest guy there, you may well be in the wrong room... That's the topic on John Paul's mind this week, as he discusses the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people in order to get the best out of yourself. KEY TAKEAWAYS If you're the smartest guy in the room, you'll find yourself besieged by people in search of answers to their problems. Try to be the room in which you get to learn from others. People aren't always motivated by the need to learn. Some are, unfortunately, motivated by a desire to bring you down. If you find yourself in this place, remove yourself as soon as you can. Sometimes, even the people we love and hold dear, aren't the right people to talk to about your dreams and aspirations. Recognise this, and adjust the conversation. BEST MOMENTS 'You always want to be a room where you're not deemed to be the smartest guy' 'I wanted to do things differently. I wanted a bigger, better life for myself' 'There'll always be another room' 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.
