It's time to cut off those strings if you've been feeling like a puppet of someone else. To become the best version of yourself, you have to have control over your life.
In this episode of Steven Sulley Podcast, Steven shares his own experiences where he felt he has become someone else’s plan - from his early school days to getting his dream job. After encountering people pushing him over goals he didn’t really want for his life, he decided to stop wasting his time and start pursuing what he really wants. Listen in how it worked for Steven as he was able to make bigger money, gain knowledge, and do what he’s passionate about. There’s nothing better to learn life plans and strategies than from someone who has had major life hiccups and still continues to achieve growth.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are many strong-minded people or someone respectable or someone in power that you'll encounter in your life and will put their perception in you. Don't always believe it as always true. Decide for yourself. If you listen to them, you lose control over your own life.
Steven didn't enjoy schooling. He was frustrated with it because he thought he wasn't good at the major subjects. He started doubting himself because he also thought so much of what his teachers have perceived him.
Steven’s dream job was to be a Marine but his parents forced him not to pursue it. So, he chose not to and interned for the golf business of his parents. He dreaded it but he completed it because he didn’t like quitting.
Your passion, excitement and drive to get something trumps whatever your past, your degree, or your background is. You can practice along the way if you think you don’t have the technical background.
He asked his friends for help and did everything to get a job he wanted. He was able to land in an industry where he believes he belongs. He was fond of the upbeat environment because he easily learned his way to his job responsibilities.
Steven: “The very, very core of anything that you do in life is sales.” It is all about effective communication which you can apply to all our relationships – from business to personal.
BEST MOMENTS
"I just knew that I was an upbeat person. I feel that I could achieve certain things if I put my mind to it but I really didn't know what I was doing."
"The mindset I like to have is to build upon something an empire and build up a huge amount of wealth over time. As well as, a network of people, really good relationships and becoming the best version of you.”
“One thing I’m good at is if I commit on something, even if I really don’t like it, I will always complete it.”
“You can say you want all these stuff but unless you take action on it, you’re gonna fall in the same pattern.”
ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should focus on a number of key areas to be a well-rounded individual. Success should not be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made some cock-ups, I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit of success.
I started from leaving school at 16 with very poor school results to pursue a career in plumbing following the directions of my parents that then lead me to a barrister's chamber and then to a sales floor. From here, I established a foothold in the sales market promoting financial products as well as being a founder of an art agency that has a Soho based art studio.
In addition, I have invested into an urban fashion brand and into a wellness tech company, and my latest addition to the business portfolio is a property company that which creates HMO's in Medway, Kent. The diverse range of industries I find myself in has allowed me to create wealth that enables me to be my own boss so I can pursue my dreams.
As a former boxer and avid sportsman, I find there are similarities between the running of businesses and competing. In my episodes, I will be sharing some of my experiences to explore deeper these connections and how they may bring you success."
