🎙️ Rare Breed: The Truth About Being a Business Owner

As I wrap up the week, I’ve found myself reflecting on just how rare the path of business ownership really is. It’s not just about strategy or hustle—it’s about navigating constant uncertainty, carrying a vision when no one else can see it, and growing through every challenge.

In this episode, I’m sharing some honest reflections from my own journey—the wins, the lessons, and the mindset that’s kept me going when most would quit. If you’ve ever felt like you’re wired a little differently… maybe you are. And that might just be your greatest strength.

“You don’t need more motivation you need clarity, purpose, and your edge back.”

If you're a business owner who knows there’s another level mentally, emotionally, and strategically here’s your next step:

➡️ Book a private call with Seamus: https://seamusfox.com
➡️ Or DM “PODCAST” on Linkdeln to start the conversation: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seamus-fox-943b7117a/

This isn’t coaching for the masses it’s mindset recalibration for men who lead, build, and want to win without burning out or losing themselves in the process.

Todays episode.

In this episode, I joined Michael Burgess on his podcast to have an honest conversation about purpose, self-leadership, and what it really means to live in alignment.

We explored the difference between chasing success that’s true to you versus falling into the trap of fulfilling someone else’s expectations.

I shared parts of my own journey, the lessons I’ve learned through coaching business owners, and how to begin reconnecting with what actually matters to you.

If you’re feeling off-track or driven but unfulfilled, this one’s worth a listen.

George Flynn of Garrison Financial Planning shares insights on navigating market volatility and developing a sound investment strategy that withstands economic uncertainty. His approach emphasizes data-driven decision making and understanding the psychology behind successful long-term investing.
• The best time to start investing is always "yesterday" – time in the market beats timing the market
• Market data shows impressive odds of success: 70% chance of positive returns after 6 months, 83% after 5 years, 93% after 10 years, and 100% after 20 years
• Understanding the difference between trading (speculation) and investing (long-term wealth building)
• Investment vehicles explained: stocks (concentrated), ETFs (more diversified), index funds (highly diversified), and bonds (stable income)
• Media sensationalism can trigger emotional decisions – "The Weather Channel loves a hurricane"
• Investment is like a bar of soap – the more you touch it, the smaller it gets
• The average investor significantly underperforms market averages due to behavioral mistakes
• For business owners: focus on protecting capital from inflation and efficient wealth transfer
• George's practice focuses on providing clarity and structure for business owners and their families
Turn off the financial news, stick to your long-term plan, and if you're not working with a financial advisor, consider finding one who can help structure your investments appropriately for your goals.
