Summary
Today Jayson is talking with Michael O’Byrne, the founder and CEO of the home security company Affinity Integrated Solutions, Inc.
Finding meaning in life is about discovering your “why.” Michael O'Byrne, the CEO of a home security and home automation company, remembers precisely when he found his why, and how it changed the course of his working career.
O’Byrne grinded his way to being his own boss and a dealer for ADT, and now he has 230 employees across nine states. True Underdog Jayson Waller discusses O’Byrne’s journey, and he can’t help but enjoy hearing about the picture O’Byrne has hanging in his office.
Highlights:
- Michael lessons learned early that if you want something you have to go get it
- Dropping out of high school to work with an electrical contractor
- How the passion got ignited after the first alarm installation
- Why you can’t be truly committed until you find your why
- Michael’s struggles with the business early on
- Building something bigger than you to help those around you
- Letting the haters in your life fuel the passion
- Why you can’t teach desire to win
- Big decisions are made based on the good of the whole
