In this episode, Alex and his guest, Felix Joseph discuss perseverance and the vital role it plays in any entrepreneurial journey.
When you talk to others it can be easy to think everyone is successful all of the time but it’s important to understand there is a flip side.
Every journey to achieve your goals will bring both success and challenges. It is the challenges that are the learning and perseverance, belief and vision are what you need to make it happen.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
I’ve always been interested in being an entrepreneur and I learnt very early on about adding value. I’m a constant learner and still learning.
It’s easy to have a job that’s ok and become comfortable and too scared to make a change.
Initially, I planned to do property investing part-time but discovered that it was my passion and what I wanted to do with all of my time.
When we lost our portfolio in the last recession it caused depression and anxiety.
People focus only on the success but need to understand there is a flip side.
It’s about staying true to your vision and understanding there is always a way.
The ‘how’ is not what’s important it’s your belief and vision will get you there.
Don’t give up its always about pushing forward and learning from your mistakes.
If you are surrounded by positive people the magic will happen.
The lesson is about perseverance - it’s vital to keep moving towards your goals.
It’s OK to not know where it’s going if you can move forward positively. It’s not about what you know it’s what you do with it
It can go wrong and it can be painful but you can come through it and be successful if you persevere.
