In this episode, Philip and Mike O'Meara discuss: 

• Relationships build resilience
• Work on yourself, grow your business
• Align before you build
• Play the long game

Lightbulb Moments:

• Genuine, long-term success comes from authentic relationships, not quick wins. Trust, respect, and fairness matter more than extracting maximum value in a single deal.
• Personal development fuels professional excellence. Daily habits like journaling, meditation, and focus planning sharpen the mind, and the business follows suit.
• Choosing the right partners means seeking shared values, complementary skills, and a common vision. The right partnership is often more powerful than solo expertise.
• Whether in investing or entrepreneurship, patience and authenticity are key. Cash flow matters, but so does timing, reputation, and the willingness to wait for real growth.

“It's not what you're doing in life, it's who you're doing it with.” - Mike O'Meara
