Listen "It's choosing the right business at the right time - Talk Marketing 013 - Danny Lee"
Episode Synopsis
This is number 13 in the Talk Marketing Series where I am talking to Danny Lee who is claiming almost 4 decades of sales and marketing experience.
Martin: Good morning, Mr. Lee.
Danny Lee: Good morning. How are you?
Martin: I am extraordinarily well, thank you. How are you?
Danny Lee: Listen, I could be in a much worse position in life like you. I'm enjoying the benefits of being relatively self employed and looking after my own needs, which is good.
Martin: Fantastic. Excellent. Thank you so much for agreeing to spend this time with me, with us today. I know you're very busy man there in the greenbelt.
Danny Lee: Yeah, well, I would like to be busier. Everyone wants to be a little bit busier. But my life plan changed four and a half years ago. I'm not somebody who wants to do 60 hours a week again, I've been there and I've stepped right off that treadmill. So we'll cover that later on.
Martin: Okay, cool, but I thought I was under the impression that you didn't want to be busier. I certainly don't want to be busier. I've also done the 60 hours a week.
Danny Lee: I think what my needs are relatively small, but having a little bit just ticking along so yeah, there's always a bit of capacity to be a bit busy and my busy is more about doing stuff online, writing the new blog, doing a new journal, a new handbook rather than client busy.
Martin: Okay, cool. Yeah, no, so I'm definitely there. That's why I'm on this mission with this content, is because I've done a lot of for clients. I've done a lot for a lot of people. Now I feel like I'm kind of discharging my responsibility. So I'm busy sharing everything I know. I think it's gonna take me a couple of years to do that. I'm dragging in interesting people like you to get some of what you know, as well and then hopefully, I can just discharge myself entirely in two years time. I will have given the world everything I know. I'm going to go and do something that interests me more in future. Not that I'm not interested in marketing.
Danny Lee: Altruism is something that grows on us as we get older I think, I'm very much, slowly, heading down the altruistic route of what do I know, what can I give back, where there is some value for other people that I don't need to hold on to that anymore - I just give it away. It's a nice thing to do occasionally.
