Description

Welcome to this episode of the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode I’m joined by the host of the “On a mission” podcast, Ellie McKay.    “The more you learn, the more you learn you know nothing!”   As the host of her own podcast that is regularly in the top 3 downloads in its genre, there was never a moment’s doubt that Ellie would be an amazing guest.    Listen now for an uplifting and entertaining hour Ellie talks about her breathtaking journey from life as a 19 year old high flying sales leader, via the brink of bankruptcy, to the successful owner of multiple businesses and host of a chart topping podcast.    If you have ever felt like it’s too late to change your life, or that you’ll “never be as lucky” as those who inspire you, this episode will challenge that perspective.    As a child, Ellie saw the impact of business when it goes wrong. As a result she had never considered business to be an option for her life. In fact, at one point she even fancied herself as the next Kate Adie.   However, there was no fighting her entrepreneurial genes! In the face of seemingly insurmountable adversity Ellie, along with her husband Mark, has created a level of success most people only ever dream of.     In this episode we explore the life changing epiphanies Ellie has experienced and why she believes it’s OK to make mistakes - as long as you don’t keep making the same ones!   This frank, funny and occasionally sweary episode includes a little oversharing and a lot of insights that will inspire you to keep going, keep upgrading and “just f*&%ing do it”.   If you enjoyed listening to Ellie, click here to connect on LinkedIn.   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
