Five core strengths make someone a key person of influence, and like any other skills, anyone can learn and develop these strengths”. Daniel Priestly is a serial entrepreneur and the author of five best selling books. This is a quote taken from his book Oversubscribed, which is my most highlighted book on kindle of hundred’s of books in my library. In the episode, Daniel gives us a systemised business masterclass, we start by tracing his backstory, discussing how he started his first company at 21 and made over 10 million in the space of 3 years, before diving into the lessons from his books that teach us how anymore can start a business while still working a fulltime job with the right skills and mindset.
