Lightbulb moment 8: Joe Wicks MBE, founder of The Body Coach, on why persevering at your lowest, will lead to success

A national treasure, pillar of kindness, and grafter through and through; in this week’s Lightbulb Moment, Holly reflects on this particular part of her inspiring conversation with Joe Wicks MBE, founder of The Body Coach. 

Renowned for his rebranding of stemmed broccoli to ‘midget trees’ — Joe has revolutionised the health and fitness world, spreading his knowledge, enthusiasm and quirky language style across the world for more than a decade.

In this clip, Joe demystifies the common misconception that his success came overnight, and instead reflects on the many lows he suffered, before even beginning his uphill trajectory. However what he also reveals, is how and why he kept on going. 

With the utmost respect for Joe’s infectious drive and overwhelming ambition, Holly shares her own experiences of similar knock backs when building both of her businesses. However, now she has the scars to show for it, Holly recalls in hindsight, why hitting such troughs on the journey to achieving your dreams, is actually a blessing in disguise.
