From Trauma to Triumph: Jo O'Connor's Journey of Resilience and Transformation

Today Hazel welcomes Joe O'Connor, the founder of The Transformer, who shares his remarkable journey of resilience and transformation. Jo recounts two life-altering experiences: a near-fatal car accident at the age of 14 and a severe injury during military training at 37. Through these challenges, he developed an unshakeable belief in his ability to overcome obstacles and achieve his goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Embrace Change and Growth: Life is not just about managing change but about having the vision to create goals and transforming oneself to achieve and maintain them. Continuous personal development is essential for success. Resilience Through Adversity: Overcoming significant life challenges, such as serious injuries, can lead to profound personal transformation. The mindset of refusing to accept limitations imposed by others is crucial for recovery and growth. The Importance of Self-Belief: Inner strength and self-belief are vital. One's perception of their capabilities should not be dictated by others' opinions or societal expectations. It's essential to focus on personal goals and growth. Tough Love and Accountability: Providing tough love and holding oneself accountable is necessary for personal development. Recognising failures and learning from them is more beneficial than simply accepting them. The Value of Relationships: Building a strong network is key to success. The people you surround yourself with can significantly influence your mindset and achievements, so it's important to evaluate and adjust your relationships accordingly. BEST MOMENTS Joe: "Life isn't about change. It isn't even about managing change. Life is about having the vision to create your goal and transforming everything in your world so that you achieve it, live it, and maintain it forever." Joe: "You might not get where you want to be each time, and that's because you either weren't having a good day or you need to develop something so you're better next time." Joe: "I'm not saying that I wasn't seriously injured... What I am saying is he didn't know whether my spinal cord was severed, because my injury is the same as Christopher Reeve's." Hazel: "It's about them. And being that change, like you say, being that change is the all-important thing." Joe: "If you want extraordinary results, you've got to do extraordinary things. You can't expect to get above-average results with mediocre effort."

She and her husband built a successful, multi-million-pound property business, next to their own careers, but soon realised that true freedom doesn’t JUST come from being financially independent… Having meant so much to her family, it has been her passion ever since, to inspire, educate and empower others on their journeys towards this 'Holy Grail'. During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this. Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest.
