Today's conversation is a Birthday special solo episode as I turn 34 and reflect on 12 lessons I wish I'd understood ten years ago.
At 24, I'd only ever worked for one company. I was ambitious and wanted to be successful, but I had no idea how much my career, circumstances and ambitions would change over the following decade.
Since then, I've progressed to Sales Director, experienced redundancy twice, started my own business, coached over 125 business owners and their teams, built a podcast ranked in the top 1% globally and launched Sales.OS in Dubai.
But the biggest changes haven't been in my circumstances. They've been in how I think, the decisions I make and what I now consider important.
In this episode, I share 12 lessons across my 3 B's: Brain, Body and Business, covering confidence, resilience, discipline, health, sales, relationships and creating opportunities.
Whether you're 24, 34, 44 or 64, I hope these lessons help you make better decisions over the next decade of your life.
