Simon Squibb On Turning Pain Into World Changing Purpose

The Steven Sulley Study Podcast

Simon Squibb has spent 10 years as an entrepreneur in the UK and 20 years as an entrepreneur in Hong Kong. He started his first company when he was homeless at 15 years old, and he sold his last company Fluid to PwC. He has also invested in over 70 startups in the last 15 years. Today Simon is the founder of the worlds first Help2Earn system, a platform that helps people learn how to start and scale a business for free while those that help get paid. Simon's mission is to help 10 million people start a business of their own, and fix the education system.

Simon joins Steven to talk about how he created the life-changing exit that enabled him to lead his empowering mission to help others, why purpose matters, and how he channeled the pains of his past into a mission that is slowly but surely changing the world for the better.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Life is a journey, and journeys all contain highs and lows. Simon is an example of how you can fight back from the depths of failure to the heights of success.
• If you leverage pain in a positive way, then there is no limit to the potential you can achieve. If you don't have painful experiences, then you can't call yourself experienced enough to help others.
• The greatest entrepreneurs are the ones who recognise optimism as the best fuel in life. There are no such things as downturns if you remain positive - a challenging time for some is always an opportunity for the greatest thinkers.
• Instead of moaning about why you can't achieve success, you should instead be asking the question "What problem can I solve?"

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't 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 huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
