Summary
On this episode Simon and Kevin join me to talk about the purpose behind their incredible mission, their unique approach towards helping others to become the best versions of themselves, and the challenges they've faced in life that have led to their life mantra: "Success doesn't make you happy - happiness makes you successful”.
A really honest and frank conversation where we delve into the good times and the bad both personally and professionally. No holds barred in this unmissable episode!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many people talk about the enjoyment to be found in the journey to success, but we should also take pride in the outcomes. Never be afraid to celebrate your victories.
- There is a growing trend amongst the mentorship market to provide "mass development", but this removes the personal touch. Kevin and Simon offer a far more bespoke service that centres upon the individual, keeping their needs at the heart of all interaction.
- We must stop focussing on the distant future, and the what-ifs. It's far better to live life for the moment - to be happy in the now, rather than postpone our happiness to some day we may never even reach.
- Being financially free is not just about becoming rich. It is the key that unlocks your desire to follow your own purpose in life. It is the enabler of your dreams, allowing you to choose your own path.
BEST MOMENTS
'You never know what's in front of you, which is why we do what we do'
'What's the point in being successful in something if you can't share it with the world?'
'Success doesn't make you happy. Happiness makes you successful'
'We've got the gift of life, to do whatever we want to do. We just have to get on with it'

| 1:16.4 | in, we're both involved in property, mainly rents or rents and doing refurbs, et cetera. |
| 1:22.4 | And then I'm sure Simon will go into it later if you're asking, but you know, my dab was |
| 1:27.3 | diagnosed with cancer, just 57 years old. And at that point then, the only guy that I knew that |
| 1:33.6 | I loved a bits already that I just had so much time for that had been through the same thing |
| 1:38.6 | with Simon. And he sat down who one day and wrote out a massive kind of a ingredients, |
| 1:44.7 | if you like, organic stuff, I could give my father to try and help him get over this prostate cancer. |

| 1:56.8 | and everything else, but this guy kicked us, he kicked cancer's us, and he was a massive rock for |
