Show Notes
I left school with no exams, just this unconventional award at the school prom, "most likely to go to prison award". My mum was so proud. This episode delves into the heart of the narrative of this whole podcast — the recognition that failure is part of the journey towards success. Drawing from my experiences of business setbacks and overcoming drug addiction, I explore the concept of reinvention. Breaking free from the cycle of habits, stepping out of comfort zones all prompt the need for change. I went through about a dozen counsellors for my drug addiction and the last one clicked with me he simply asked, "who do I want to be in 5 years" and he helped me set the intention for this new direction. Yes, you are going to have to deal with difficult things, we can blame other people, our situation, external factors and become the victim. But it's all about acknowledging the value of difficult times, and never giving up. Dark times are part of the process. As always, let me know what you think. All the best, Henri #Failure #NeverGiveUp #Entrepreneur

If you were asked what would you do differently, with everything you've learnt in business what would it be? This is exactly what I cover in this episode! For me the No 1 thing is learning. I buried my head for 10 years but I'm making up for it now. Work on yourself like you work on your business. "The more you learn, the more you earn". Secondly its all about mindset. We are our own worst enemy, what we tell ourselves we believe. And finally, always make sure you surround yourself with the right people. Likeminded people will help you hit your goals!

Respect the time you have. You can keep busy with many important things, but that doesn't mean they are the best things for you. In this episode I talk about moving yourself away from the £10 tasks in your business and onto the £1000 tasks. Always ask yourself "Is this the best use of my time?" Most people when asked what they want to earn say they want to "earn £10k a month and work a 30 hour week". That means an hourly rate of £83.33. So when you're doing a £10 task ask yourself, is this the best use of my time? People can't get out of their head to trust someone, hear how Henri instills trust from the get go. Always trust first. Inspire them to do the right thing. So if you're struggling with the menial tasks, the first thing you can do today is get someone to do all your admin. Your time is precious! Use it wisely in your business. Have a listen and - as always - I'd love to hear your thoughts.
