In today’s episode I speak with Tyler Basu, author of the No.1 Bestselling book “The Lifestyle Business Blueprint”.
As a young teen growing up in one of the poorest postal codes in all of Canada, Tyler reveals exactly how he managed to turn his life around and set his course toward financial freedom.
Funnily enough, Tyler didn’t start out so successful right away. After high school he enrolled in a degree in Business Management but after only two semesters, he dropped out. Tyler was driven and knew that if he wanted to succeed in business then he would have to actually go and get his hands dirty.
Since that day forward Tyler has dedicated his life toward mastering the art of lifestyle entrepreneurship. He spent the next few years building relationships, learning sales in real estate and accumulating the skills that he believed would enable him to become a successful entrepreneur.
In 2011, after starting his own blog and podcast, Chatting with Champions, Tyler has catapulted his brand and business into a full-time living, giving him the freedom to live his lifestyle goals.
Tyler now publishes his very own digital magazine and podcast, Lifestyle Business Magazine which you can learn more about in the podcast.
