On this episode of As Told by Nomads, Tayo is joined by serial entrepreneur Elliot Wise, who started his first business at the age of thirteen and, at thirty-one, is now the founder of ten businesses and a rapidly growing business empire. He also works with budding entrepreneurs in small companies to arm them with the skills they need to succeed, including how to develop a winning mindset and stay composed under pressure. In today’s conversation, they talk about many things, from Elliot’s background to his philosophy of never letting himself down and his opinions on mentorship, as he provides us with an insight into the mindset of entrepreneurship.Elliot begins the episode by discussing his upbringing with parents who didn’t put pressure on him to succeed, which he credits with giving him the space to build his own belief systems and find a niche he loves in business. He contrasts this with the social and cultural pressure placed on many young people to succeed, suggesting it can enforce limiting beliefs that hold people back from following their path to fulfillment. Instead, Elliot highlights the importance of introspection and critical thinking to find what makes you happy and of developing emotional control and internal confidence. Tayo raises the topic of separating the personal and professional, and both he and Elliot agree that choosing to blur those lines can be a positive choice, allowing balance in your lifestyle instead of a forced, artificial separation. And finally, Elliot discusses his mentorship philosophy and shares his desire to make a difference with his difference by contributing to a new system of learning through mentoring.Episode Highlights:Cultural norms and the pressure to succeed Internal confidence and not letting yourself down Curating your communities and lifestyleResisting the victim mindsetLinks:Connect with Elliot Wise:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wiseelliot/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@elliotwise/Limitless Mentoring: https://limitless-mentoring.com/links/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ElliotWise/Connect with Tayo Rockson and the As Told By Nomads Podcast:Tayo’s Website: https://tayorockson.com/Tayo on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/tayorocksonTayo on TikTok: https://www.youtube.com/tayorocksonAs Told by Nomads Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/as-told-by-nomads/id910739730UYD Management: https://www.uydmanagement.com/UYD Collective: https://tayorockson.com/uyd-collective Hosted on Acast.
