Working 80 Hours A Week
In this week's show John Paul talks about those who work too hard from time to time, and why the idea of ramping up your hours on the job might seem like a good idea, but how in reality it can lead to burnout. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you begin a business, it's very important to put in the effort required to get it off the ground, but it should never be to the detriment of our health or personal life. There is a certain pride in working, which is understandable. But we should never treat our overworking as a symbol of our endeavour. By finding a balance between effort and momentum, as well as scale and growth, you end up earning far more money and working far less hours. BEST MOMENTS 'Hours and effort are not always the same thing' 'I used to wear my hours like a badge of honour' 'It's so important to get that balance right' 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.
