Two Ordinary Blokes Publish Personal Insights Onto Their Business Success

‘On the outside, to most, we had succeeded. We had successful businesses and achieved many milestones and accolades. On the inside, though, it was a different story. We struggled to find purpose in our lives. Our businesses felt stuck. We were not happy,’ comments author Greg Gunther on the reality of both Troy Parsons and himself in the establishment and building of their respective businesses. Gunther continues, ‘Our lives have been filled with many highs and lows. One low in particular, I thought I’d never recover from. I kept it secret while it devastated me for years’.

Parsons relates but in a different way where despite his professional success as a Podiatrist, his business owned him and very nearly broke him. Feet First tells us the story of how a chance meeting between these two ordinary Australian blokes revitalised them both and created a platform of personal and professional success that they both had felt was unattainable.

Both Parsons and Gunther share the common denominator of most ‘ordinary people’, to be happy. Yet for so many of us, happiness is always ‘out there’ somewhere and we spend our whole lives in search of it. Too many of us live a life of reaction, totally engulfed in dealing with all the daily complications that hit us in waves. Passion wanes and life becomes more about survival than thriving. We feel tired and cranky, succumbing to the pressures of daily life. Many perceive themselves as a failure with a future that is uncertain and scary. Everything seems out of our control. ‘That was us, two ordinary blokes, until about ten years ago. We had spent our entire working life seeking success personally and in business, but we hadn’t found it,’ comments Parsons.   

Ten years later and life has provided Parsons and Gunther with many lessons that they now have the opportunity to share with others. ‘We totally believe that we all have access to happiness in our own lives. It’s the pathway to that happiness that eludes so many of us. That’s why we wrote Feet First,’ comments Gunther. 

Greg and Troy are available for interviews.
