-
- Entrepreneurship
In this episode, Jeannette speaks to Pete Lonton, who is a former engineer, project manager and property investor. Today, his focus is on helping others to find their potential and become the mightiest version of themselves, in particular through his podcast Fire in the Belly
Jeannette and Pete discuss how he overcame his ADHD, depression, and dyslexia to become an award winner in his industry while building up a huge property empire. Before, setting up Fire in the Belly as a way of inspiring others to succeed too. They discuss how to avoid getting trapped in a negative work cycle, as well as how to transition to working on something you feel passionate about.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You need balance in your work life. If you don´t have it, you will make yourself ill, especially mentally.
People who explore and go with their gut instincts tend to be passionate about what they do.
Everyone has fire in their belly, something that they passionately believe in, something that motivates them.
Often, when you have a weakness in one area, you excel in another because you have developed skills to compensate for your weakness.
Every so often, everyone needs to pause, stand back, and make sure they are not on a hamster wheel that is taking them nowhere.
Depression is a symptom, not a cause, you have to recognise how you became depressed and make the relevant changes.
When you step off the hamster wheel, you end up with a fertile void that provides you with the chance to make step changes in life.
Talking to others about their journeys is a great way to learn and inspire yourself to success.
Everyone needs a North Star, a golden thread. A goal to focus on that pulls them forward.
We all let silly things hold us back, especially things that happened in the distant past, for example, failing our exams.
All of the answers are inside you, but the voice that guides us has become a faint whisper, you have to learn to block out distractions and listen to it.
The changes you make do not have to be big to make a huge difference.
Pursue those ideas that you can´t stop thinking about, they are usually viable ideas.
BEST MOMENTS

‘We're all capable of so much, but yet we're leaving the handbrake on, you've got all these beliefs that hold you back, that restrict you.

‘Live life with no regrets’.
