Alex is with Jamie York who is a successful entrepreneur and mentor. They discuss what drives entrepreneurs and why education and understanding are vital as there is always something to learn.
Jamie discusses the role the right mindset has played in his success and shares some great advice on how to choose something you are passionate about and develop a winning mindset when you understand it’s all about adding value rather than profit.
Everyone views life through a different lens and it’s important to realise that you are winning already and whether you think you can or think you can’t you are right.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
If you can solve a difficult problem for one person you and charge a large amount or you can solve a small problem for millions.
When you are a business owner and an entrepreneur you get to choose what you want to do and you can choose something you are passionate about.
An ignorant person will never understand the cost of ignorance.
It’s about following a system and then adapting it and making it your own.
If you attend a free event you can get an idea of what a mentor is like. You don’t have to like them as a person but you do have to respect them and be able to work with them. You can check to see who they have helped. Do they have the skills to teach someone else?
80% of your results are dependent on you, you just didn’t know what you could achieve and it’s this that a mentor can develop.
The more you do, the more you give, the more you receive. You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with so surround yourself with people who are positive and pull you forward.
It’s about having the mindset to continue education and continually review your own skillset.
Who you surround yourself with influences your mindset so surround yourself with positive people who you can learn from.
