We’re told hustling 24/7 is the pathway to success, that there is no gain without pain and that great rewards come with great effort. This mindset can certainly teach you something, yet I believe that there’s a far better way.Hustling leads to overwhelm and stress, affecting negatively your team, family and ultimately your life. Your business turns into a struggle and you lose your spark. It’s The Great Entrepreneurial Trap, taking happiness away from businesses.When I was 3 my parents divorced. My dad's business played a major role. He was stressed, overwhelmed, hardworking, he lost track of what was important. This led to changes in our family that weren’t pretty. As I grew up the question became pressing “How do I make sure that this doesn’t happen to me or others?”. As a young man, I vowed to have abundance of money while increasing true happiness and help others achieve the same.I wasn’t fond of maths, but I did a double business & accounting degree to learn what it takes to run a successful business. I also spent 8 years at an insolvency firm to learn how NOT to run a business.When I launched my first enterprise, it went gangbusters.At the same time my brother was growing his cabinetry business, following in dad’s stress-laden footsteps. He asked for support and I chose to help him.That’s when The Guided Entrepreneur was born. I joined Fox Wardrobes and created a system to alleviate stress, maximise profit while re-igniting his spark.Fox is now a thriving multi-million dollar business, but the real reward is seeing my brother shine, spending time with his family, have freedom without the weight of the world on his shoulders.I’m here to show you that it’s possible to be a successful entrepreneur without feeling like you’re flogging yourself each day. You’ll be happy, and so will your team, family and friends around you.Will I give you a quick-fix formula? No. Real change is up to YOU. What is important to you? How would you like to experience your business? What makes you feel happy and fulfilled? I believe you will never truly shine in business and unlock its fullest potential if you don’t truly shine on the inside. When you ask yourself these questions, you regain inner alignment that ripples out creating room to enjoy your business, have fun and uplift all areas of your life.I’m positive there will be people reading this who are like my brother and ready to escape The Great Entrepreneurial Trap.If this sounds like you, send me a DM and take the first step on the path you were born to walk.
