Making the numbers count: a real-life story of purpose-fuelled success with Hugh Massie
Welcome back to part 2 of the discussion with renowned behavioural finance strategist Hugh Massie. In this episode, we learn more about the man behind DNA Behavior International. Losing your father when you’re a year old might set some people back in life. Instead, Hugh Massie turned his difficult childhood experiences into an international success story – as well as founding an organisation for young men in a similar situation to maximise their potential today.
How did he do it? Listen in as a story emerges of how we all can leverage our hardwired behaviours to achieve meaningful outcomes.
What’s in store:
· What we can learn from Hugh’s journey from chartered accountant to Money Energy Pioneer.
· How measuring your success by what you have in the bank could be setting yourself up for failure.
· Why being comfortable and genuinely fulfilled aren’t necessarily the same thing.
· What’s behind the connection between impacting a billion people and making money.
· How to avoid drama but thrive through stress.
· A dive into how his childhood affected him and how understanding his Initiator type has allowed him to impact the lives of the fatherless boys he works with today.
· Why your hardwiring isn’t an excuse, it’s your superpower (when you learn how to adapt and use it).
Finally, Hugh shares his life motto and why it has driven his success so far.
We hope you enjoy this episode. As always, please feel free to get in touch or comment if you have something to add and share – you never know who will benefit from listening too.
An episode full of moments of reflection, it asks deep questions but in a way that makes so much sense. Why shouldn’t we show up as ourselves in our business? Why shouldn’t we prioritise our health and spend time with the people we love? That’s why we set up business for ourselves in the first place. Own your business rather than it owning you to improve your chances of living a long and happy life.
