EP49: What does ‘winning’ mean to you?, with John Kettley
Have you got a clear picture in your mind of what your ‘perfect life’ looks like?
My name is Christian Rodwell and today I'm talking with Serial Entrepreneur, Master Sales Trainer, Author, Speaker & Mentor, John Kettley, about the the mind behind success that every aspiring Entrepreneur needs to understand and follow.
In John’s own words, he’s just a regular fella who’s worked out exactly what he wants from his life, and through blinkered focus & hard work, has achieved extraordinary success.
John Kettley is a well-known expert on the subject of cultivating the ‘mind behind success’ and he has graciously consented to this interview to share extensive knowledge and experience to help us stay on track in this area so that all of you aspiring Entrepreneurs listening can understand the rules of how to build a business that creates wealth.
I first met John back in 2015, very early into my own journey as a business owner, and it was John’s down to earth manner and no bullshit approach to business and sales training that instantly attracted him to me, so much so that I asked John if he would be my personal business mentor, to which I’m extremely grateful that he agreed.
It was John that pushed me to launching the very first 12 month Business Mentoring Program at Escape The Rat Race at the start of 2016, way before I felt ready to do so, and that in itself show’s the value of having a great mentor who will know when to push you, and when to pull back.
I can’t wait for you to hear some of the nuggets of wisdom that John has in store for you today, so let's just jump right in, and head over to my interview with serial entrepreneur and trusted Escape The Rat Race business mentor, John Kettley.
