Carl Beech - Freed From the Pressure to Succeed Artwork

How To Be a Success: Ordinary Men Living Extraordinary Lives...

This podcast is about the extraordinary purpose that all of us have. It is about listening to people who are walking in their purpose and asking them, “How did you do that?” And a quick heads up this podcast is about finding out the messy nuts and bolts of success. The failures that taught them painful but powerful lessons, the things that kept them going and the truth, that success is a bit like the artwork for this podcast. It is full of perilous climbs, seemingly bottomless valleys, jumping for joy one day and feeling like you’re falling the next. Plateaus and progressions that are sometimes so slow we don’t even realize they are happening and mountain tops with glorious vistas we never knew we would reach. In short, success is about mess, mess we never gave up on believing we would overcome, mess we learnt from and mess we shut the door on so we could grow into our purpose. We will have a new guest every month and each week we will release a short section of their wisdom and truth. So, without any further ado, I hope you enjoy our podcast…
