The Entrepreneur Experiment

It's the weekend, that means it's time for a new mentor. This week, we have a special friend of mine to teach us about the unlimited power of mindset. Andy Mackin served in the Irish Navy for 21 years before embarking on a second career as an entrepreneur. Mackin Talent is now a commercial powerhouse with offices all over the world and turning over millons each month.  His growth since then has been spectacular but why I really clicked with Andy was his outlook on life and the power of mindset. Today he gives us a short lesson on improving mindset and he proves why there is no such thing as a typical entrepreneur.    To hear the full interview with Andy, go back and listen to episode 113. --- Join my free weekly newsletter here: https://bit.ly/40TgDkq --- Visit My Partners Location Partner: Iconic Offices  Claim your free office for a day: https://bit.ly/iconicEE23

Shoot for the Moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. Norman Veale said it first and said it best. That is the theme of today's Mentor Moment. Realistic people don't change the world. Irish people and Irish entrepreneurs in particular can often be guilty of being too humble and afraid to truly express their grand plan. John Ryan is not one of those people. When we spoke back in 2019, he clearly outlined his plans for his business. Guess what? 4 years on, he is making those dreams happen. Today's mentor teaches us how to set a grand vision and then how to begin to execute on it because goals without action are simply dreams.    --- Visit My Partners Location Partner: Iconic Offices  Claim your free office for a day: https://bit.ly/iconicEE23
