Entrepreneurial Journey from a Young Age
Ben Laws started his entrepreneurial journey at 13, mowing a cemetery with his father's influence. This early experience sparked his desire to be in charge of his own time and make a meaningful impact. From an early age, Ben had a Multi-Pire Mindset and approached his job as an opportunity to be an entrepreneur rather than just a means of making money. He viewed failures as opportunities for growth and embraced the desire to have a great impact on people's lives.
The Four Freedoms of Entrepreneurship
Ben Laws understands that entrepreneurship is not just about making money, but also about the four freedoms: time, money, relationship, and purpose. He emphasizes the importance of having the freedom to control one's own time, financial success, building strong relationships, and finding a sense of purpose. By continually applying new thinking tools, he has learned from strategic coach workshops to his personal and professional life. Ben has been able to multiply these freedoms and create a more fulfilling and successful entrepreneurial journey.
Commitment to Personal and Professional Growth
Ben Laws attributes his success to his commitment to personal and professional growth. He shares how joining strategic coach and attending their workshops has transformed his perspective on leadership and success. By starting with himself, being fascinated and motivated by his own growth, and focusing on being wildly helpful to others, he has been able to build relationships and create a thriving team. Ben's commitment to strategic coach has not only led to business growth but also allowed him to be more present in his family life and pursue other personal passions.
