Aspire with Jay Shetty: How to Succeed in Business Without Losing Your Soul

And I'm not saying that's not a lot or a little, it's just, that's what it was. And so for me, what it was, was seeing things progress. So at 11 years old, my parents forced me to go to public speaking school because they were so scared I was going to be a shy kid.

It's called the London Academy of Music, Drama and Arts, Lambda. It's brilliant. And I got four, so I would go three hours a day, three days a week for seven years of my life. And so I learned this skill, but I didn't have any use for it. Yeah. But it was interesting. Then obviously I went and lived as a monk for three years. I learned so much Eastern wisdom. I learned meditation.

So I started to share what I'd learned. Then as I started to share what I'd learned, I was doing talks in rooms, probably quarter of the size of this. Zero people turned up, five people turned up. And I started to think, well, maybe I need to do something online because maybe 50 people will show up.

So for me, it was this incremental process of following my heart, following my passion and skill in that tiny moment. And then more becomes unfolded. And I think that's what life's like. Like when you look up a mountain, if you've ever gone on a long hike, I was in Bhutan last year and we're hiking up to this place called the Tiger's Nest. It feels like something out of Black Panther.

There's a monastery on the edge of a cliff. Totally. And when you look up and they tell you it's three hours to get up there, did I know every twist and turn? Did I know every peak and trough and valley? No. All I knew is I was trying to get there. This time I'd say I didn't even know three steps in front of me.

I never believed this would happen to someone like me. I never thought this was real. From this day forth, I'm going to be really focused. I'm going to be really strategic and I'm going to be really organized. And I think that's the path it took. So now I dream bigger than I ever have. I'm very clear on what our goals are. I'm very clear and focused on everything.
