Summary

In this episode, I’m on a mission with the inspirational speaker, entrepreneur, business coach and investor Craig Schulze, who specialises in helping people grow to become a market leader in their industry.

We discuss Craig’s heartfelt and tragic story of the challenges he faced after losing his first son and what that experience taught him about living a meaningful life. More determined than ever to maximise this, Craig shares how he turned the ultimate pain into something meaningful which has now helped thousands of others in the process.

Living in Melbourne, Australia under the strictest lockdown regime in the western world, we talk candidly about how Craig has managed to keep his vibration high and continue to push forward during these challenging times.

Another unmissable episode.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Sometimes skills in business and life can be secondary requirements when it comes to finding success. What matters is the will to succeed.
Mentors allow us to see ourselves from another perspective, and provide us with alternative routes towards success. Never discount the power of a constructive opinion.
Challenging moments arise from all sides and come unexpectedly. they not only alter our path, but provide a north star when it comes to reconciling new challenges we face.
When it comes to making important decisions about our lives, especially in the wake of the pandemic and its effects, it is only sensible to do one's own due diligence and to make the most informed decision we can, based upon what we judge to be right for us.

BEST MOMENTS

'Whatever I lacked in business and life skills I made up with dreams, desires and the will to do whatever it takes'

'Life is made of moments and one moment can change your life'

'If I'm going to put my heart and soul into something then it's got to be deep and meaningful to me'

'It's an incredible opportunity for us to reset the world'

0:00.0	I am joined by the fabulous Craig Schultz, who's all the way in Melbourne, Australia.
0:05.9	So firstly, thank you for coming on the podcast, Craig. You've got an absolutely phenomenal
0:10.7	soul. For anyone who doesn't know Craig, where have you been? He's massive in social media,
0:15.2	he's a best-selling author, he's a speaker, he's a serial entrepreneur, multiple business owner,
0:21.2	and he's definitely a man on a mission. So welcome.
0:25.3	Looking forward to spending time with you and being watching what you've been doing too,
0:29.3	which has been wonderful as well. So looking forward to having a really powerful conversation.
0:35.0	Oh, brilliant. Well, Craig, let's just dive straight in. Let's go back to the beginning,
0:40.1	because you actually left home at age 15, were you always like to go and sort of self-fund your
0:48.7	career as an engineer, which is a really unusual thing to do, were you always quite entrepreneurial,
0:54.8	as a child, or where did this come from? Yeah, really interesting. If you really want to rewind
1:00.8	back to my very first entrepreneurial project, I was about 12 years of age. In my next store,
1:06.9	neighbour, he was an entrepreneur and he was making these, I lived in a very small mining town,
1:11.6	which is why I left when I was 15, but he was making these boxes for tourists, and he worked out
1:17.5	that it cost 50 cents to make one of these, or he was going to pay me 50 cents to make one of the
1:23.0	boxes and sell it for $12.50. So I was quite a big profit off a young 12-year-old boy, but I basically
1:32.9	gathered my entire garage and set it up nearly like a manufacturing plant. And back in the early
1:39.0	or 1991, when this happened, I actually worked out that I was making $25 an hour if I fitted out.
1:46.4	So I always have been and had the ability to think outside the square, and how can I do this
1:52.9	better, and what's the best path forward? But yeah, I did leave home when I was 15. Noxel wasn't
1:58.1	loved. It was just that I was living in an environment where our school went up to year 10, and then
2:04.7	it was, that was it. And it was like, do I go and work in the mines, or do I go and further
