“In the pursuit of chasing something greater, there’s more potential that we all have. It just takes going through some hard times to figure out what we’re really made of.” -Daniel Blue
We can all relate to the feeling of being lost and not knowing where we’re going. Some of us are better at navigating our way through these feelings than others, but it’s always possible to find ourselves at crossroads in which we’re unsure of who we are and what we stand for.
In this episode, I sit with Daniel Blue, the CEO of Quest Education. Daniel was just 12 when his father left. He couldn’t understand why and his questions were left unanswered for years. It created a massive void in his heart that seemed like dark clouds covering his path. This lack of clarity led him to make painful choices. But when he became a father, Daniel moved from victimhood to gratitude. This sparked change and his life began to turn around.
Listen in as Daniel shares how he rose up from rock bottom to owning a 7-figure business. Daniel and I also discuss how we can increase our self-worth, how we should handle problems without going back to masking them, how a new environment can help in our transformation, and Daniel’s advice for parents in raising responsible and well-founded children. And as a plus, Daniel also reveals the secret to making money penalty and tax-free.

08:03 “Maybe there was something in your past that you just buried— those things, you have to address them head-on because the alternative is doing other things that you think are going to make you get past that. But you’re really never going to get past it until you address those demons. But once you do, you can move on with your life and you find peace.” -Daniel Blue
09:08 “The moment we change our mind doesn’t necessarily change the reality or our environment. There’s still work to be done.” -Ted Phaeton
09:42 “The best way to increase your self-worth is to follow through with the promises you make yourself.” -Daniel Blue

20:27 “That pain and that feeling of being uncomfortable is only temporary as long as you’re in it to win it; as long as you keep pushing. If you’re not in it to win it and you’re not going to keep pushing, then that pain will not be temporary, it will be permanent.” -Daniel Blue
