Interview with Ed Mylett (probably my favourite episode ever!)

Nick is with Ed Mylett, the fastest-growing business personality in the history of social media and one of the wealthiest men under fifty. They talk about what it means to find your gifts and use them in the service of others. Ed uses his skills to help others and is passionate about how any human being can change and grow if they look to themselves and not only understand what their own skills are but appreciate that everyone has different skills and that bringing together a combination of individuals is the best way to build success. Utilising what you are good at is a key to happiness and if you are able to combine internal confidence with humility then you are on a path to being both blissful and successful.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Things happen in life and you have to pivot adapt and will things to happen Material things do not fulfil you; my biggest achievement is my family it’s what fulfils me It’s an internal confidence that makes the difference You can make mistakes as long as your intentions are good. Skills are becoming less important as mindset becomes more important What separates you is your mindset and work ethic. My gifts are the ability to read people, being a good communicator, feeling things deeply and being able to make other people feel things deeply. I’m a good man, I want to help others, and have good intentions A key to life is to understand what you are good at and then use those gifts in the service of other people. An unhappy person is someone who is not using their gifts, not utilising what they are good at. Successful people have unbelievable confidence combined with humility I believe the combination and mosaic of people’s gifts is what creates success To move forward you need to let go of your fears It’s your willingness to move into the space and being prepared to fail that defines being able to move to the next level I’ve been able to weave a lot of different people into my life who have made a difference to me.   BEST MOMENTS I’ve been happy rich and happy poor’ ‘I’m passionate about human beings ability to change’ ‘I am really good at 5 or 6 things and those things have made me blissful and rich’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Empire Builders Podcast     ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21 and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.  Within 12 months he was the top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it around, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires. Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage. Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
