Passionate And Compassionate Entrepreneurialism - with Jessen James

This week, Ellie is on a mission with the multi-talented Jessen James - a psychiatric nurse turned multi-millionaire, international public speaker, the UK Public Speaking Champion, business mentor and star of Channel 5's 'Rich House, Poor House' Jessen joins Ellie to discuss his incredible entrepreneurial journey which began in his childhood, the power of talking to people, and how building an entrepreneurial journey founded upon compassion has served others and himself. KEY TAKEAWAYS Compassion is one of the most important driving factors in any life journey. If we grow up seeing pain, then we strive to ensure that others do not suffer, also. When you build a business, it's always best to start with what you know, instead of what you think people will want. That way, you are an expert in your field - you just need to learn how to structure the business around this. There is no substitute for the human element in business mentorship and coaching. When we demonstrate that we truly care, money becomes irrelevant. If we can put people first in the equation, then income will follow. But the intention has to be honest. We have to care truly about others, and make sure their interests are at the heart of every endeavour. BEST MOMENTS 'My integrity is worth more to me than any amount of money' 'You've got to be born with compassion for other people' 'I believe in talking to people' 'Nobody cares how much you know until you show them how much you care' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Jessen James - https://www.jessenjames.com Jessen James LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jessen-james-👈🏽-31380968?originalSubdomain=uk Jessen James Twitter - https://twitter.com/jessenjames ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts.
