Show Notes:
I have always been intensely fascinated with people who see the world through a different lens to most of the population. They think and they act differently and choose to take their own path in life.
This means that before they become outwardly successful, they are often vastly underestimated and misunderstood. They can be perceived as ‘failing’ a lot as they’re willing to give new things a go and sometimes are written off as being dreamers.
My observations over my career as a financial adviser was that more often than not, they are the ones that become wildly successful. They are what we call entrepreneurs, and they are the people you need to take notice of and who you can learn a lot from.
Now don’t get me wrong, thinking and doing things differently to everyone else is a choice that can make your life harder and riskier at times but the rewards have the potential to be exceptional.
Today our guest is Geoff Birchnell.
Geoff is a qualified Chartered Accountant, has been involved in exporting beef to China, was strategic analyst for a large beef production business which was one of the few who managed to successfully raise capital from a large overseas super fund, and is also a beef producer himself as a director of 3R Livestock.
Today Geoff and I will be discussing why Geoff felt compelled to quit a lucrative professional accounting career and how a combination of thinking strategically and following your passion can help you find unlimited motivation and purpose in your life.
Remember, finding success in any path you take requires you to listen to people from all walks of life, and getting a glimpse into their unique perspective could be the push you need to take action on that business idea or career change.
