We recently connected with Helen Creegan Walsh and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Helen thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Do you take vacations? Why or why not?
My most successful year in business I took 12 weeks off. Unplugging and tapping into your creativity, looking at how you can do something the effortless way is a key element that I work with my clients. Also, true you do not step away but if you are doing what you love, living the life you dreamed of I believe you do not need a vacation from that life. However, when you do go away and surround yourself in relaxation, down time or adventure you reconnect with your purpose, your why and you are re-invigiorated to step back into your business. I had to learn this, it was not natural to me. However, again part of what I focus on with clients is creating their life. their way.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I have always been in business. I was in finance and then entered the entreworld and had a chain of women’s fitness franchises for nearly 10 years. In 2008 when the Global Crisis hit I had to start over. However, I was so connected with the fact that I always kept going that I was stuck, not sure how to get back on the right path. An exploration into my mindset, habits and how I work resulted in my restarting my entre journey as a Qualified Financial Advisor. After 10 years of building, growing and challenging so much of my thinking – success came in unusual hours. I am in the top 1% of my industry, created time for my family and travelled the world. I want this for you and for as many as I can help.
How’d you build such a strong reputation within your market?
Service and Story. Life is about connection and about serving others. When I got out of my own way and began thinking only about others and helping in the best way I can everything shifted.
Have you ever had to pivot?
I have been constantly pivoting as I learn more about what I love and how I can impact more people.
