Description

Andrew Dobbins is the owner of the Business Mindset. As a business mentor and a Mastermind Facilitator, he has helped individuals and companies grow their businesses. In today’s episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Pete talks to Andrew about his journey in long-life learning and mentoring. Andrew emphasises that his core beliefs have helped him a lot in achieving more than he could ever imagine in life right now. Him applying his Christian teachings and him burying his face in books every single time he gets has helped him better himself too.
Andrew wants people to know that there are other things that are more important than money. Value the surrounding people, value what’s important to you. Tune in now to know more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It’s important that you know yourself. It’s easier to behave and act around when you know your core value and beliefs. For Andrew, his faith is what he keeps close to his heart. He’s a Christian, and he attributes all his success to it.
Continue learning. Andrew wasn’t a big reader while he was growing up—no fairy tales, no science fiction. Then he saw the benefits in reading. He kept reading and learning primarily for self-development and business.
Andrew loves the glory of having to help individuals, and companies grow themselves. Seeing that he made a difference drives him to be create more impact for more people.
Most are not happy with their jobs because there is no freedom. They don’t control their time and/or they can’t speak their minds. Not that entrepreneurs have control over everything. But they can do things differently. They are their own bosses.
In coaching, they won’t tell you what to do, you find out things yourself. In mentoring, the mentor works alongside the client.
Wealth is not money. When you define wealth as something that can help you better yourself. It’s not just about the prosperity of money. There should also be prosperity in other aspects of your life.
Andrew tries to make everything perfect. No mistakes. If there is something to be improved, even a small thing, continue tweaking until you get to near perfect, if not perfect.
Respect people who you’re in business with. There should be no discrimination, so you can provide quality services to everyone.
It’s unpredictable what happens in the UK market. So as much as possible, be prepared on whatever happens. Check your streams of income. Plan so you or your business stay afloat any unforeseen circumstance.
BEST MOMENTS
“I wasn’t about the money. It was the achievement. Making something better made a difference.”
“I think a lot of people has passion for things.”
“People go the extra mile not because they have to, it’s because they want to.”
“Events happen but it’s how you respond to them that matters.”
“Never give up, keep learning.”
