In this episode, I’m sharing three powerful lessons I learned from a conversation with an inspiring New Zealand entrepreneur, Naomi Ballantyne, who became the first female in the country to sell her business for over a billion dollars.

Her journey from humble beginnings to extraordinary success is a masterclass in mindset, resilience, and courage.


Here’s what I cover:

Everything is Figure-Outable – How a mindset of resourcefulness can help you overcome any obstacle.

Care Less About What Others Think – Why focusing on your purpose over public opinion is essential for success.

Put Your Hand Up – The power of stepping into opportunities, even when imposter syndrome strikes.


Throughout this episode, I’ll challenge you to embrace these lessons in your own life. Whether you’re striving for financial freedom, personal growth, or simply a more purpose-driven life, these insights will inspire you to think bigger, act bolder, and live with intention.

If you found value in this episode, I’d love it if you could share it with someone who might benefit from these lessons.
