Top 5 things that separate the successful from the unsuccessful

What do you think truly separates the successful businesses from the unsuccessful? Is it their knowledge? Is it their resources? Or is it something else entirely? This episode of The Make It Happen Show features one of our own in The Entourage, Grant Purcell, Senior Entrepreneur Development Manager, who's talked to and worked with hundreds of thousands of small to medium business owners over his entire career.

Having spoken to and worked with probably more business owners than anyone in Australia, he's had the opportunity to get a deep understanding of exactly what separates those that are successful and those that aren't. And on this episode, he's sharing with you the top 5 things that makes the difference. If you want to live a successful life and grow a successful business (whatever that means to you), then this episode is not one to be missed. Check it out.

  • 2:31 - How mindset plays a role in a business's success

Loved the episode with Tim Fung, Airtasker CEO! You guys are getting some awesome guests in! Thank you!

Entourage on point again!

Adz Rodger

Great content again from The Entourage! Particularly like the 1st episode and the points Tim Fung made about making sure you make time to map out the future and don't get stuck on day to day 'work', as well as the observation that you really need to be strategic about your people management and not just try to save money. Two awesome take homes I have already taken action on!

For entrepreneurs and non-trepeneurs alike

Well this was one of the best things I’ve heard in a while. I’m by no means the target demographic, having zero business or entrepreneurial experience at all. Luckily the advice given for business growth and success is remarkably applicable to personal growth and success. Loved the conversational style, by the end of the podcast I felt like I knew both Tims personally, which is a great mark of engagement. And I loved hearing about the humble beginnings of Airtasker from the founder himself. Give this a listen if you’re craving a bit of personal or professional inspiration.
