E17: Do Things For Other People - With Stephen Morrow

One good deed a day. That’s what Stephen Morrow wants you to do—to live your life. We cannot notice the beauty in the mundane stuff when we’re too hooked with our schedules, quotas, goals, etc. There’s a lot to see. In this episode of the Fire in the Belly Podcast, we learn more about how to do things for other people. Know how appreciation and gratitude can go a long way when achieving your goals. Stephen also emphasises giving value to society first, listen in for stories on how Stephen has done this. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learning in a traditional educational system was a struggle since he has dyslexia. So, it was outside the classrooms he learned most. He has tried being a car mechanic, a stone carver among other things. Though he has tried so many different jobs, it is in financial services he’s most comfortable. After trying many jobs, he explored real estate investing. This is where he fully developed his financial and managing skills. And when the recession happened, he had to make tough decisions regarding his properties. He made a plan. He sold them first, then bought them back as soon as the market went stable. How does Stephen build an unstoppable mindset? He says to be happy every single day. When you realise what you have on your hands, and what you can do for other people, that’s a start already. For Stephen, ‘fire in the belly’ means living your life. Be confident and believe in yourself. When you listen to what other people say, it may become stressful. You won’t impress everyone. Start doing things at your own pace and your standards. Just know that when you put value out there, there’s at least one person you will influence. It is when you’re at you’re lowest; you get humbled, and become the authentic ‘you’. He has never felt more appreciative of others and their contribution to his life and society during hard times. Stephen wants to remind you that everything happens for a reason, and your social circle (family, friends, etc.) will always be there to help. BEST MOMENTS “I love meeting new people; I love helping people and seeing the good in everybody.” “If you trust yourself and do what’s right from you, I think that is where it comes from… People make decisions from a legal point of view.” “People have to reinvent themselves. People can get stuck in a job for the rest of their life and never take a chance on anything.” “10,000 a month may be enough for one person, for a year or a lifetime. Or it may be not enough for you. But you need to think what’s right for you.” “I don’t need anyone to see what I do as long as I know what I do.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Listen to Fire In The Belly Podcast in iTunes (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fire-in-the-belly/id1499375061)!
