E161: Alison Edgar - The Entrepreneurs Godmother

In this episode, Pete speaks to Alison Edgar, The Entrepreneurs Godmother. Alison originally worked in the hospitality industry, living all over the world including Sydney and Cape Town. She moved back to the UK and began working in sales and it was after working in various large companies she began her own business working with entrepreneurs. Alison also delivers talks and education on how to be entrepreneurial including working with the discovery channel and SKY.

Today she speaks to Pete about business, mindset and much more!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Alison is in her 50’s and recognises that a lot of people her age are winding down career wise and thinking about their retirement. But she is just starting, she launched her business in her 40s and has so much passion and energy for business and entrepreneurship.
Fire in the belly to Alison means waking up in the morning and not finding life and work a chore. She has a fire in her belly in the morning to get up and have a brilliant day.
 Alison struggled with some elements of school including late-diagnosed dyslexia. But what this meant for her is that she had to learn to discover and channel what she was good at from an early age. This and her tremendous work ethic is what has carried her through her career.
Alison is definitely an extrovert, she gets her energy from being with other people. If she spends too much time on her own she finds herself deflated. However, she also finds she needs a small amount of time to herself to reflect on things.
Change is something Alison teaches and talks about often. Many of us become scared by change which is understandable but you can alter your mindset to be enthused and intrigued by change instead.
Alison really enjoys working with the youth. They give her fresh perspectives on things, renewed energy and inspiration.

BEST MOMENTS 

“Is it the mindset of having a fire in your belly or is it just having fire in your belly, I think it’s both”

“If you can really excel at what you’re really good at then the other things don’t matter so much”

“You’ve got no idea how your behaviours affect other people…you just might change somebody’s life that you don’t even know”

“It’s easy to overthink when you are on your own”
