Today's guest joining us on Join Up Dots is one of those names that has turned up time and time again in the Join Up Dots history, so it's with delight that we finally get them on to the show. He is a man who quite openly states "I'm good at many things, but I know what my sweet spot is, and so focus in on this as much as possible" And that sweet spot? Helping people discover their purpose and passion for life. As he says "When I’m coaching people to put the “extra” in their ordinary life and turn it into the extraordinary life they want and are capable of living, I am where I should be. Actually most of my writing is on this topic because it is my passion!" And that my listeners is the true mark of building success into your life. Finding that one thing that you find fulfilling and enjoyable, and subsequently will find so much easier to do to become better and better until becoming the recognised expert in that thing. But this isn't just another episode of a life coach that loves helping people as this guy is an entrepreneur juggling many plates at once. And since 2003 he has also been the co-founder of CompanyBE a cloud based software which was designed and built in direct response to the challenge of running a small business more efficiently and effectively. So with his talents listed as Author, Life Coach, Speaker, Podcaster, Personal Development, Runner, Dad, and Business Owner he is a man who is in demand. So when did he realise his sweet spot, and grasp the fact that he could make a living out of doing what he loves?
