Wired For Success: Success Mindset, High-Performance Habits, and Business Success for Entrepreneurs

Do you want to build a million-dollar business without sacrificing your health, relationships, or happiness? Welcome to the Wired For Success Podcast, the show for ambitious, mission-driven entrepreneurs who want sustainable success on all levels! One thing I've realized after talking to lots of successful 7-9-figure entrepreneurs is that the constant hustle and grind will only get you so far. Once you have reached that glass ceiling, working harder is no longer the answer. Besides, what good is all the financial success if you either don't have the time to enjoy it, you've ruined your health, betrayed your values, or alienated your loved ones? That's where I come in to help you get wired for success! My approach is analytical as well as intuitive and I show you how you can tap into the fundamental mechanisms at the intersection of physiology and psychology that drive human behaviour, achievement & wellbeing. Are you ready to overcome your fears, limiting beliefs, and self-sabotaging behavior so that you can make a quantum leap in your life? Let's get you back into alignment and flow so that you can enjoy the fruits of your labor, make an impact, and bring your vision to life! As a molecular biologist turned mindset & high-performance coach for driven high-achievers, I share my own experiences and interview leading scientists, industry experts, thought leaders, and super-successful entrepreneurs to teach you how to stay happy, healthy, and productive while building your legacy. Popular topics include success mindset, smart productivity, mental health, holistic health, psychology, burnout prevention, authentic leadership, high-performance habits, podcasting, marketing, sales, and entrepreneurial life. I also feature the best non-fiction books and authors from the science, self-development, and entrepreneurship categories in the "Leaders Are Readers Wired For Success Book" segment of my show.

The Entrepreneur’s Paradox: How to Scale Without Losing Your Soul with Patrick Noel Daly | Episode 244 EPISODE SUMMARY What if empathy was your biggest business advantage? In this episode, serial entrepreneur and inventor Patrick Noel Daly (founder of Icon Global Innovations, PND Global Consulting, and PND Entrepreneurship Academies) joins us to share how he builds purpose-driven companies that heal, not harm. From his early days as Ireland’s Young Entrepreneur of the Year to mentoring founders across the U.S., Patrick reveals how to scale your mission without burning out. We explore innovation as a habit, leadership through empathy, and the art of balancing success with health and happiness. We talked about... ... Cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset ... How to grow companies that do good AND do well ... The powerful question every innovator should be asking EPISODE NOTES Patrick Noel Daly (PND) is a seasoned entrepreneur who has founded his own startups in IT, SaaS and medical. Patrick founded Icon Global Innovations to launch his own products and he also founded PND Global Consulting to help companies, businesses, and entrepreneurs to succeed. He was a winner on the Late Late Enterprise Show in Ireland in 1998 with a special school bag that he designed to help kids carry heavy loads of books. Patrick Noel was Bank of Ireland/Shell Young Entrepreneur of the Year in Ireland in 1999. Patrick now licenses his own established products to licensees and resellers in medical care and healthcare, having invented and developed these medical innovations to provide products that are “good for people”, which he says was his primary reason for inventing the products. He wants to scale that product range in the USA and to make DreamCair and CUSHEE, the consumer versions available in the sleep/wellness market in the USA and wider. Since moving to the western side of the world, Patrick has been a mentor (volunteer roles) with iCorps National Science Foundation USA. Patrick is originally from Cork, Ireland and has travelled the world on business. He started writing while travelling globally for leisure and to help mentor entrepreneurs over the last four years. Patrick loves to socialize and talk to as many people as possible on his travels. He has written “Just Start Up-A Guide to Building Startups” and more recently he wrote and launched his first children’s book “A Young Hero Triceratops Named NOLY” to help encourage kids to think about entrepreneurship, resourcefulness and helping others from the earliest age. Profits go to children’s charities.
