This Is Balance with Andrew Sillitoe
Welcome to This Is Balance, where we delve into the transformative journey of business owners seeking to improve both their work and life. I'm Andrew, your host, and guide on this adventure.
In this podcast, we delve into The 4 Keys Method, a unique and powerful framework designed to help business owners achieve balance, success, and fulfilment in every aspect of their lives.
But first, let me share a bit about my journey. For over a decade, I travelled the globe as a management consultant, assisting corporate leaders in building winning teams.
However, in 2017, my life took an unexpected turn when my wife left me.
This event prompted me to embark on a personal transformation, leading me to walk away from my lucrative consulting career and focus on redefining success on my own terms.
During this transformation, I had a vision: to share my journey with other business owners. I believed prioritising health and well-being would be the cornerstone of our collective success. Thus, I began documenting and sharing my experiences with peers, leading to remarkable results for myself and others.
I underwent a remarkable transformation through the implementation of The 4 Keys Method. Within just 12 weeks, I went from feeling mentally exhausted and physically unwell to experiencing newfound vitality and happiness. Encouraged by these results, I formed a mastermind group of like-minded entrepreneurs who sought to join me on this journey.
In January 2019, I published my book, "The 4 Keys," which quickly became a bestseller, further solidifying the impact of this transformative approach. Nine months later, my wife and I reconciled, embarking on a new adventure in Prague, where we welcomed our fourth child into the world in 2022.
Now, I lead a mastermind dedicated to teaching business owners how to achieve balance in their health, relationships, and mindset while growing their businesses. When I'm not coaching entrepreneurs, you can find me on the ice as a professional hockey coach, mentoring startups in Prague, or investing in innovative ventures.
Join me on This Is Balance Podcast as we explore the keys to unlocking success and fulfilment in business and life.
Let's embark on this journey together and build the business and life you love.
