What is the Success Complex? It is what is stopping you!  Listen to author Adrian Kelly talking about time, control and performance psychology.  Adrian's greatest gift to us all is his work as the author of The Success Complex. From his home country of Ireland, he shared the journey that led him to write this transformative book. By trade, Adrian is a lawyer, having spent many years as a criminal defense solicitor. But the financial crash in Ireland in 2010 prompted a deep reevaluation of his life. This reflection led him to pivot from law to renewable energy, where he worked alongside an entrepreneur to develop innovative wind and solar energy products. For nearly a decade, Adrian applied his skills to shaping sustainable solutions, only to discover that his true passion lay elsewhere. He transitioned into government work, helping businesses navigate imports and exports. Yet, it was in coaching—helping entrepreneurs and businesses operate more effectively—that Adrian found his most fulfilling calling. It was through this coaching work that Adrian’s curiosity about success deepened. Over the course of four years, he researched and wrote The Success Complex, a book designed to probe the barriers that hold people back from truly achieving success. The title itself—The Success Complex—reflects Adrian’s central thesis: success is often a paradox. Like a psychological complex that inhibits action, the pursuit of success can sometimes leave even the most accomplished individuals unfulfilled. “I found, working with many entrepreneurs and business people over a number of years, that even people who were materially successful—successful on the outside—didn’t feel successful on the inside. They didn’t feel fulfilled,” Adrian explained. “In many cases, these individuals lacked something truly precious: time. Time to spend with family. Time to control their own lives. Often, their businesses ended up owning them rather than the other way around.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.
