Driving change through the establishment of a small businesses may seem way off for some small startups, but with commitment and the right attitude this can be achieved.
That was the message from Brisbane Broncos Ambassador and former Club Captain, Alex Glen when speaking about his small business and who he got into the idea of helping the youths in his community in New Zealand, find that right path in life.
The former professional rugby league player turned SME owner, said one thing that rugby league taught him in his run with the best team in the Australian NRL was discipline, commitment, the right attitude and having that high fitness level.
This is what he wants to pass on to the next generation so that they too can progress in life and achieve things that he and others in his age group and older, have not been able achieve.
“The feeling that you get, when you give and you see people thrive, it’s worth more than money. That was what I wanted to do. That was my passion,” said Alex.
He also encouraged SMEs in Papua New Guinea to also thrive in what they do and also give back to the community that has helped them grow.
Alex said this when speaking at the BSP Leadership & SME Immersion 2023 event held last evening in the Port Moresby where the Broncos team representatives were the guests of honour.
