World Leading Life Coach: 3 Steps To Build The Life You Actually Want! Find Your Purpose, Protect Your Energy & Stop Waiting To Feel Ready | Simon Alexander Ong

Thriving Minds with Alberto Zandi

Show Notes

Simon Alexander Ong is a globally recognised personal development coach, international speaker and bestselling author who helps people rethink success, protect their energy and build lives that actually feel worth living.

But before speaking on the biggest stages around the world, Simon spent years working in finance, following the version of success he thought he was supposed to want.

Good university. Good career. Good salary.

Yet he would sit at work dreaming about escaping his own life. Eventually, he realised that success on paper means very little if you feel disconnected from the person living it.

In this episode, Simon explains: ◼ How to recognise when discomfort has become genuine misalignment, and what to do next ◼ His SIN framework for changing your future through Skills, Inputs and Network ◼ How to stop letting fear, other people’s opinions and even your family determine your decisions ◼ The four forms of energy you need to protect: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ◼ Why your partner, friendships and environment can dramatically influence the person you become

But this conversation becomes much deeper. Simon lost his mother unexpectedly when he was only 17.

Her death changed the way he understood time and left him with two words that have shaped his life ever since: Don’t wait. Don’t wait until you feel ready. Don’t wait for somebody else’s permission.

And don’t spend your life becoming successful according to somebody else’s definition. Because, as Simon explains, ready is not a feeling.

It is a decision.

Kaspar Basse founded Joe & The Juice in Copenhagen in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and an ambition that was anything but small: he wanted to build something that could compete with Starbucks. Two decades later, Joe & The Juice has grown into a global brand with over 500 locations and was valued at $1.8 billion in 2026. But Kaspar believes one of the biggest mistakes companies make happens precisely when they become successful. As businesses grow, they introduce managers, processes, controls and layers of approval to protect what they have built. And in doing so, they can gradually remove the very thing that made them successful in the first place: culture, and quality. Kaspar does not believe great company culture comes from music, office perks, parties or paying slightly more than your competitors. It comes from people feeling agency, challenged, trusted, capable of improving and proud of what they do.
