Welcome once again to The Million Dollar Relationships podcast! Today, we are discussing life the importance of relationships in our business with Beejel Parmar. Beejel, born and raised in the UK, had a life-changing experience at 8 years old when he watched Star Wars Episode IV. This sparked his love of movies and interest in drama, acting, and costumes. Although he pursued a career in engineering, he felt a calling to speak on stage after seeing a motivational speaker in 1992. It took him 19 years to overcome his limiting beliefs and become a professional speaker. Today, he is known for his cast of charismatic characters called 'Motivenger' that teach content related to the character. He advises entrepreneurs and business owners on productivity through a group coaching program and outsourcing.
