Entrepreneurial Role Models:
When business started difficulties overcame:
“Probably lack of just any entrepreneurial experience. That’s sort of a lie I have had this standard things as a young person – I worked on a farm, I had little businesses in that regard. But my business journey started very quickly and then I retired as an army officer to write young age of 24. And I was trading currencies and equities and then an opportunity came up with a girl that I fell in love with to start a business and it just happened very quickly. I can tell you one of the early challenges once we’d started business was, we had staff member die in a car crash which in the small business with three employees for the first four months with people that have never run a business before that nearly stopped us”…[Listen for More]

Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“The greatest risk is not doing it at all. You won’t regret that you tried and it didn’t work, you will regret that you didn’t do it at all. And that just gives you the confidence to take that step. And then finally it would be remember that your business is just a tool to achieve the life that that you wouldn’t end for yourself. Try not to make it bigger than it is, it’s not you. It’s part of you and it’s a great platform to live an extraordinary life but I see too many people make it their identity and that just affects them when that business doesn’t exist anymore”…[Listen for More]

Other Quotes From the Chat with Finnian Kelly:
- “I like picking different things out of different people. I find that I am a collective of other people’s experiences and there is not enough time in this life to just pick one path but I can learn through other people’s part. So, the experiences they have chosen. So, I’m very intentional about picking different things ”
- “it’s hiring ‘A’ players. I really wish I had focused more energy on just getting the best people. I’ve heard a few people say that great people eat shitty processors… Like average processors . If you have great people, they will find a way to make it happen. And it’s very hard at the start because you don’t have that much money so you are trying to skimp out and look for cheaper people. But I feel like if that was the sole focus of an entrepreneur then it would work out greatly. You don’t even need to worry about the product that will make the product work. So, investing in ‘A’ players I couldn’t recommend it higher”
- “Design your intentional path. And I refer to this thing as an intentional path, it’s one of the things I live by, it’s a product that we use and literally it’s like a blueprint of your vision for your life. And by having that it helps you ground you and it keeps you focused on what’s really important to you. Because success someone else may not be successful you”
- “Focus on the feelings rather than the outcome. So, outcomes can sometimes give you a feeling of success but feelings is what will lead to fulfilment that is what we are really looking for. So being more focused on intentions versus goals is incredibly important”
- “Keep exploring yourself. We are what is in the way of our success and fulfilment so explore, get coaching, do introspective work to just keep discovering what limit in beliefs are potentially holding you back”
