Show Notes
Take a deep breath...because Tony Plank will take you to a whole new world.
Tony's story is in-depth, fascinating and awe-inspiring. This episode of New Zealand's fastest-growing business podcast focuses on a man who followed a passion and achieved a huge dream against almost unbeatable odds.
As a recreational diver for nearly 20 years the lure of owning his own business attracted him to purchase Dive Zone Tauranga in October 2017. However, the journey was anything but smooth sailing. Tony had to wrestle with financial limitations, doubts, unfulfilling jobs, employees stuck overseas, boat drama, COVID and almost impossible decisions to turn his vision into reality.
This hard-hitting, perilous and hilarious conversation reveals the secret to getting what you want in life, and in business....and how to never take "no" for an answer.
