What happens if you develop a crippling auto-immune disease that derails you from your career? How do you change your thinking and reinvent yourself?

In this episode, our guest, Christian ‘Boo’ Boucousis, shares about spending 16 years working on a dream to become an elite fighter pilot only to have his dream crushed when he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder called ankylosing spondylitis. Put simply, it is a complex form of arthritis that forced him to be discharged from the Air Force. The question is, “How will you change your thinking to re-invent yourself?”

In this episode:

• Boo shares about his background
• The challenges of going from a salary to your own business
• Why success in one field isn’t automatically transferred to another
• Understanding that your mindset is actually really an aspiration set or a purpose set

Key takeaways:

• Learn how to leverage the skill set of the small wins - which collectively add up to the big ones - to keep you growing
• Understand how to recognise when you reach the limit of your own individual human performance
• There are seven components to a true purpose – one is financial and the other six have to do with your contribution to society and the people you work with
• Ask yourself the “why” questions - Why am I not there yet? Why hasn't it happened? Why am I stagnating?
• Stop creating a passive life, because as a business owner, you cannot allow that to happen

“Because it's through doing things, we experience things and change the way we think.” Christian ‘Boo’ Boucousis
