Taking the Leap for What Really Matters
February 24, 2018
Nigel Bennett — a client of mine who has become a great friend – has finally released Take That Leap: Risking It All for What Really Matters, a book about the amazing adventures of his life, as an entrepreneur and extreme outdoor adventurer.
Nigel is one of the few entrepreneurs I know who has attained the ultimate in achievement and enjoyment (in fact, I featured him in the first chapter of my book Your Oxygen Mask First). And he fought hard, step by step, to create a spectacular life of freedom that most people only dream about.
When I first met Nigel, he was being pummelled by life, despite a booming business. He was the prime example of someone who didn’t supply his oxygen mask first – and was paying a high price for it.
It quickly became clear that he needed a different mindset – and different tools to handle the intensity of life as a CEO.
Today, he lives every business owner’s fantasy, with lots of free time to spend on personal passions — building homes for people in need, travelling with his family, and creating great experiences everywhere he goes.
Read this book about taking the leap – it’s an amazing, and inspiring read.
