The More You Put Into Life, The More You Get Out - with Dean Kelly
This week, Ellie talks to serial entrepreneur and recruitment specialist, Dean Kelly, who reached the level of multi-millionaire before the age of 30, became CEO of a nine-figure PLC, and who has spent his career in acquisitions and advisory roles for CEOs and government officials. Dean discusses his beginnings in business, why aspirations can help to push us further, the importance of setting goals and how they helped his own journey, and how you can always get more out of life if you work hard for it. KEY TAKEAWAYS We never truly know where life will take us when we are in our youth. We try many things until we find the path that fits the fire within us. Aspiration is not a bad thing. Looking at the achievements and gains of others pushes us to want to do better and to reach those heights for ourselves. The ones who make it are the ones who understand that the more you put into life, the more you get out. they are the ones who have a real fire in their belly, and who aren't afraid to work hard. We can level the world of recruitment by offering a more balanced and weighted approach to hiring that removes the stigmas surrounding seats of learning and takes skills into account, instead of background.
