Summary
The second of an epic two part conversation with Simon Squibb, the multi-millionaire on a mission to change the world.
Despite selling his business for more money than he could spend in his lifetime, Simon is hell-bent on giving it all away. He passionately believes we all have the entrepreneurial spirit within us and wants to encourage as many people as possible to break free from the shackles of the matrix to take control of their financial destiny.
Simon uses his viral social media accounts to reach millions of people every week to spread a message of positivity and hope through the possibilities of entrepreneurship without any of the fluff.
In his own direct manner, Simon is not scared to speak his truth as he warns people away from the next get-rich-quick scheme and explains why he thinks a lot of the advice given is hugely damaging, especially around leveraging debt.
He’s a man with a big heart and an even bigger mission; enjoy!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The present education system is completely broken and doesn't give people the tools they need in order to exist in the world of today. We're still adhering to an archaic programme of what people needed generations ago.
- Sometimes the best way of unlocking the entrepreneurial spirit inside us, is to harness the skills of another entrepreneur. Combining forces can be the key to unlocking our own power.
- Business masterminds are born for two reasons - either the circumstances demand that they do something in order to survive, or they find their true purpose and make it happen.
- We're conditioned to believe that in order to get through life, we simply have to memorise facts and slot into our pigeon hole in society. It takes an entrepreneurial spirit to see outside of these limitations and achieve true freedom.
BEST MOMENTS
'People freak out a little bit when you talk about change'
'A tool to live in the real world is how to manage money'
'The questions isn't "Are they an entrepreneur?". The question should be "What kind of entrepreneur are they?"'
'People come out of school thinking that cave life is better than being out in the wild. Being out in the wild is living!'

| 0:00.0 | People freak out a little bit when you talk about change, but to me, the present education |
| 0:05.8 | system is completely broken. It doesn't give people the tools to live in the real world. |
| 0:09.7 | And for me, a tool to live in the real world is how to manage money. Unfortunately in |
| 0:14.5 | school, a lot of people become the cave dweller. By the education system saying, don't copy |
| 0:20.4 | someone else, be quiet, sit down, behave yourself. Now, read this, memorize it. Next week |
| 0:26.3 | you're going to have to regurgitate it. That is the training for the cave. And people |
| 0:30.1 | come out of school thinking cave life is better than being out in the wild. |
| 0:36.0 | It's really interesting, because you believe everyone has the capability of becoming a non-drupener. |
| 0:41.7 | You're really the first person I've heard. See that? When I initially heard it, I did think, |
| 0:47.2 | oh, I'm not too sure that classic thing that you've heard a million times before. I'm sure |
| 0:51.6 | who's going to do all the... Yeah, they're well on the same world, but you're completely |
| 0:56.3 | right. And I actually heard you see a statistic, and I'm terrible for remembrance statistics. |
| 1:00.6 | I can't believe I've actually retained this one. But the example that a lot of people go to |
| 1:05.6 | would be doctors. Look, yes, but there are certain professions, obviously, you would still |
| 1:08.9 | want people to go and get the higher education for it, etc. But the statistics that you use |
| 1:15.3 | was that out of 50 patients, the average doctor makes seven mistakes, seven wrong diagnosis, |
| 1:21.7 | but actually using AI technology. What's the new statistic? Well, 0.01% of the time the machine |
| 1:28.2 | will get it wrong. That's crazy. So I mean, it's a bit like the MRI machine. The MRI used to... |
| 1:32.9 | didn't exist. So it used to be a human feeling someone's body to determine what was wrong with them. |
| 1:38.1 | Yeah. But people still tell, I want a doctor to check me. Do you? Because you've got this MRI |
| 1:42.8 | machine. Do you want the MRI machine or do you want a doctor to feel with his hands and have |
| 1:47.2 | some empathy or do you want the machine to tell you exactly what's wrong with you called the MRI? |
