Your Past Doesn't Have To Be Your Future - A Conversation with Billy Farrell

This week, Ellie talks to Billy Farrell, the owner and Managing Director of TMD Media, one of the UK’s fastest growing Digital Marketing and Branding agencies, as well as the founder of multiple businesses.

Billy is a true pioneer of business, marketing and entrepreneurship, and joins Ellie today to talk about his journey to success, the lessons learned along the way, and the effects of social conditioning and our upbringing upon the lives we aspire to living.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Some think that growing up in a tough environment is a barrier to an aspirational way of life, but in actual fact it can be the spur that pushes us towards seeking success.
We should see others as the inspiration to drive us forward. If others have done it, then so can we. The journey they tread can energise our lives and goals.
Too many people are looking for the "sexy" way to find success. But not all opportunities are magical, glamorous, once-in-a-lifetime chances. Success comes at the cost of work and dedication. If not, then it doesn't mean as much.
It's not what you know, or who you know. Success in business is about whether people know you. They need to know who you are in order to do business with you.

BEST MOMENTS

'I wanted to do things, I had ideas. I wanted to break out and live. But the problem was that it was "not for people like us", and that was something that was deep rooted in me'

'For the first time in my life, I believed that the things that had held me to that point, I could let them go'

'The past is not equal to the future'

'If they don't know you, they can't pay you'
