Pushing The Boundaries Of What’s Possible - with Michaela Wain

This week, Ellie is on a mission alongside Michaela Wain, who shot to fame after being put through her paces by Lord Sugar in the 2017 series of BBC's The Apprentice. But what many don't realise is that Michaela has always been at the forefront of business and entrepreneurship. Michaela discusses her astounding business journey so far, which has seen her at the head of multiple seven-figure businesses, how to find the will to face down the demons that hold us back, and her personal mission to get more women into the world of construction. KEY TAKEAWAYS The upbringings we experience ourselves have drastic implications about the upbringings we want for our own children. They can help us to set a course in life, either to reach or to avoid. Age discrimination doesn't just happen to those of a more mature age. Younger people are often overlooked or dismissed. Never be afraid to ask for guidance if something is unclear. It's far better to be right, and to be sure, than to take chances and face failure. We sometimes find the will to succeed in the most unlikely of places. When we are told that we cannot do something, it fires us up even more, pushing us forward with the aim of proving that voice wrong. BEST MOMENTS 'I never wanted my children to experience having to get a ticket off a dinner lady and people knowing that your school uniform was free' 'We handed in our notice and started trading the next day - the rest is history' 'You get what you pay for. When it comes to advice about something you know nothing about, get the best advice you can get!' 'I'm constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Michaela Wain Twitter - https://twitter.com/michaelawain1?lang=en Michaela Wain Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michaelawain1/?hl=en 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.
