Fire in The BellyAlways Challenging, Always Changing - Interview with Prof. David Gibson
DESCRIPTION
In this episode, Pete speaks to Prof David Gibson. David was an accountant but had always had a fascination with personal development. He went back to university but to teach entrepreneurship and created a new career where he was able to make a difference to education and people around the world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- David deliberately keeps 20% of his time free so that he has time to be an entrepreneur. He sees himself as an entrepreneur as he is a person of change, he believes we all need to be this so that we are able to evolve and make things happen for ourselves, our families, our community and beyond.
- Fire in the belly to David means that you hold onto your passion not matter what, that you are a do-er, you are driven and you do not stay the same.
- We have to all find our niche. It took David a while to find his but he kept exploring until he found it. It was a spectacular journey and once found he was always wanting to do it and it created the fire in his belly.
- As a child David spent quite some time on his own, creating and coming up with ideas. He was also competitive as well as having an open mind. When he started to enjoy reading at 9 it really opened up his world. He went to grammar school where he did well and then onto university.
- If you don’t have passion, values and belief behind what you are doing then it will not have the same impact. Anything you do with true passion and motivation will be reflected in the result.
