#38 Mike Pagan - Look after Your Mental Wealth

"No man is an island entire of itself".
Now, my interpretation of this phrase is that to be successful in all areas of your life you can’t do it on your own.

In the context of living your best life and my guest Mike Pagan in his new book ‘Mental Wealth’, it means you need people in your network who will be there for you, offering you the proactive support and encouragement to make a truly positive difference in your life and unlock your potential.

Mike is an author of multiple books, a motivational speaker and acclaimed coach with decades of experience in helping others achieve phenomenal success. 

But, there have been stages in his life and career where Mike has found himself lost, alone and isolated due to a lack of significant support. But what he learnt to do was to surround himself with his own hand-picked Mental Wealth team. This has led him on a journey to a happier life, be more successful in business and he now feels more mentally and physically able to navigate the next stage of his journey.

Mike is very much an optimist. You can feel his positivity throughout the conversation but I also felt that Mike is one of those rare people who will give you the facts straight and I can see why he’s been so successful in is career. This attribute is a key to why so many retiring elite athletes come to him for advice when they transition back into ‘normal life’.

So this is me and super coach and author Mike Pagan talking about the importance of having the right people around you.

It’s a conversation about not asking for permission to live a fulfilled life, learning to ask better questions to support other people and enabling us all.

But ultimately this is a conversation about making self-care a priority in our lives and not being too proud to ask for help.
