Hi, my name is

DAVID RYAN

I’m an Australian entrepreneur running a chess coaching business and learning high-ticket sales to further my marketing and sales skills, scale my business, and inspire more people to take action on their goals.

I also run the Ambitious Action podcast to share real stories and powerful lessons from founders, CEOs, and industry experts, to help others grow their business, strengthen their mindset, and take ambitious action.

It’s been a journey of many challenges and tough decisions, and it’s only just getting started…

From Finishing School

Before graduating, I felt lost, like most people.

I had no clue what to do, but I knew everything would work out… somehow.

After graduating, I felt like I had 5 options

- Go full time at my job

- Go to Uni

- Go to Tafe

- Get a trade

- Or join the army

But I knew there was something else… so I chose to quit my job, move out and figure it out.

Finding An Opportunity

I found an opportunity to join a 3 day marketing event for a few thousand (most I’d ever spend on something before)

I ended up marketing for a few people from the event (for free to build my skills and help them out)

But I wasn’t 100% confident that I could deliver results for new clients, even though I had succeeded with others.

So I choose to develop my skills and market my own business.

And I thought… 'What’s the simplest service I can offer with my limited skills?’

Finding My Vehicle For Success

Well I’m good at chess… so let’s give it a go.

I built a funnel, ran some ads, and started teaching kids online.

For nearly 6 months, I did free classes to build my skills up again, get testimonials and it cost a few thousand over that time to run.

(Remember: If you’re good enough at something to teach children, you already have a business you can start today)

And I had a few struggles monetising it, but I managed to turn it into a business that allows me to continue growing each day!

Where I Am Currently At

And now, I’m learning high-ticket sales while growing my chess coaching business.

At the same time, I’m continuing to interview founders, CEOs, and industry experts on my podcast, Ambitious Action, to help others grow their business, strengthen their mindset, and take ambitious action.

So if you’d like to join my journey, learn from my experiences (and failures), and take ambitious action toward your goals, follow my socials below, and let’s grow together!
