Summary

Simon Leslie is the founder and chief executive of Inc, the global travel media company. He is a prolific author, brand expert, and an expert in handwriting, hypnosis, micro- expressions and body language.Simon Leslie was always looking for creative solutions to the problems he faced. At 17, he started his first job selling insurance door-to-door and soon found success in real estate. Through the 80s property crash and a recession, Simon found ways to make deals and financing when no one else could. All these experiences created the threads of knowledge and skills that Simon needed to start his own magazine, travel network, and eventually, the Amazon of travel. With a rucksack of despair, Simon inspired his team and learned the power of reciprocity, belief, and energy to help him move forward. He learned how to reframe problems as opportunities and how to look at the world differently. Now, he wants to pass on his knowledge to the next generation of entrepreneurs.In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How to Unlock Opportunities Wrapped in Challenges: Discover how to reframe any problem as an opportunity and how to identify and unwrap the opportunity.2.
