I had the opportunity to sit down with entrepreneur Tammy May who founded MyBudget in 1999 when she was only 22 years old. What has now grown to be an iconic Australian brand with over 40,000 clients, we had a chat about the journey of taking MyBudget from the kitchen table, to a national company with over 270 staff across Australia.

Some people call it gut, some people call it intuition, some people call it our higher self. Regardless of what you call it, we all have it - that inner voice that points us in the right direction. My unequivocal advice to everyone is to follow that inner voice and explore the direction your heart is pointing you towards, always.

Our sense of motivation is deeply linked to how connected we are to pursuing the purpose we hold for our lives. If you’re lacking motivation in what you do – perhaps you need to ask yourself, not how can I motivate myself? But how can I re-align myself with my purpose to ensure motivation is something that is inherent.

When in the startup phase or high growth phase of business it is a chaotic, high pressure environment. Due to this, it requires a certain kind of individual to thrive within that environment.

Regardless of age, as entrepreneurs we should always be acting from a place of purpose. Your purpose if your 60, might be different to the purpose of a 17 year old, however it should still always be your core driver. In this episode, I get two spontaneous guests on the show to engage in this conversation with me.

The path of being an entrepreneur, of being someone who is chasing a dream is a very challenging one. We carry around the weight of that dream and the weight of the person we are still yet to become which leads to many sleepless nights. It's important for us to understand and accept that this is just apart of the journey.

As entrepreneurs, because we live a lifestyle so different to everyone else, it's really important that we write our own rule book. Identify what you value the most in life and what is important for you and your happiness. Within these values, you can begin to see what it is that you need to do to live a life that will be most aligned with who you are.

Business is a game that forces us to become more of ourselves every single day. It is a game of personal development. As such, the number one skill you need to learn is the skill of learning. You have to be comfortable leaving your comfort zone and going into a project, business or industry that you know nothing about. Become a great learner.

So many people get their media pitches wrong. They make their press releases all about themselves. You need to get over yourself and start talking about an existing issue. One that everyone is talking about already that can be drawn back to you, and provide either a 'yes, and' or a 'yes, but'. Speak to this, come from heart, and you will start to kick some serious butt in the media.

#AskJackD met #AskGaryVee when I sat down with Gary Vaynerchuk to have an incredibly real conversation about entrepreneurship, education and, obviously, hustling. For those who don’t know Gary Vee is a legendary entrepreneur. Straight out of college he took his family business to $60 million. He is the founder of VaynerMedia, host of the #AskGaryVee show, and investor in a number of global companies, including Uber and Twitter. I won’t give anything else away. As Gary Vee would say: “Let’s get into the show...” Find Jack: Instagram: https://instagram.com/jackdelosa Twitter: https://twitter.com/jackdelosa Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/delosa

What is the value of a university degree? It is no longer the golden ticket to a successful career, but students continue to follow the well trodden path from high school into university, and are paying more and more for their university education every year. Jack Delosa explains how curriculum complacency in our universities, and the enduring expectation that university is the only way is leading to disheartened students, unemployed graduates and skill gaps in our workforce. Potentially a dangerous person to introduce to any students, Jack Delosa dropped out of university, and never looked back.

Whenever you’re doing something entirely new or original there is very little you can point to that suggests that what you are doing is a good idea. If you can point to past results to support your innovation, chances are you are not really innovating. The pursuit of originality is fraught with discomfort. But the ability to recognise the emotion of discomfort, and see it as a sign that you are doing something truly innovative, is the sign of a real change-maker. What do you think is the number one trait a true pioneer needs to possess?

Today the crew caught me in an angry rant before filming had started, so I ended up asking myself a question: Why do people complain about their circumstances in life but then refuse to put the hard work in to change it? Nothing pisses me off more than this. Businesses don’t build themselves. If you’re not happy with where you’re at in life, yet you have time to to watch McLeod’s Daughters (if that’s still a thing?), and go out drinking 6 nights a week then I have very little sympathy.

The number one barrier for growth in early stage businesses is a lack of focus. We try to become everything for everybody and in doing so we end up being NOTHING to nobody. My advice to entrepreneurs is pick one thing and try to become the best in the world at it.
