Magnify Your Impact with Simon Andrews

An education trailblazer restructuring opportunities for
future young leaders


Simon Andrews gained his entrepreneur motivation in 1999 when he
recognized the unsolved challenge facing graduates that were
trying to find employment opportunities. Andrews and his friend
Chris Morling worked together to create a portal that enabled
these individuals to achieve self-growth through employment or
furthering their education. 


My Key Takeaways


My time with Simon flitted between what we need to do for
ourselves, what we need to do for the success of our work and the
synergy between the two.


If we think about what nature means, we might go to balance, the
ecosystem, how we support it and of course how we can jeopardise
it. How powerful would it be to mirror that onto the nature of
ourselves - what’s our balance, ecosystem and how do we support
it? There is I’m sure many similarities.


Simon spoke with much clarity about nurturing his own internal
environment, that in turn supports him to nurture his outside
environment, by purposefully putting himself in challenging
environments. I’ve reached the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro which
was a massive achievement but this guy takes it to another level.
He spoke about the impact this has on his charity, business and
personal life and the value of the discomfort. 


Discomfort has often been vital for people who’ve achieved great
things, even though their language, in past tense, will refer to
the positive within it. The mindset of ‘hello fear and
discomfort, thank you for letting me know I’m onto something!”,
this is powerful.


Simon feels that failure is a valuable cog in the wheel of
success. Without it, success just doesn’t taste the same and may
not reach the level of the impact we first set out to create.
Maybe, in essence, failure should be included in our business
plan, wouldn’t that be novel!


Metaphorically climbing a mountain, the summit is always there
but the path to get there and the obstacles and straight runs
will change. That doesn’t make reaching the summit unattainable
but instead different, it's still just as doable.
