Meet Connor Mobley

We recently connected with Connor Mobley and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Connor, thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?

My father, he was a pipe welder on the Alyeska Pipeline. As a kid I never quite understood why he worked so hard, but now as an adult, and caring and providing for my own family he’s all I can think about when it comes to a proper work ethic. Being able to provide for the community especially these days is very important.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

I offer a specifically private tours to world-class sites throughout Arizona. A lot of these locations have been oversaturated with tour companies that have the quick fast food approach of moving people in and out as quickly as possible like an assembly line. As a local in the area and a lover of nature I decided to slow things down and do these tours from a personal private perspective.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Working for yourself means that you are entirely responsible for anything and everything that happens to you. So starting and running my own business with no business degree was definitely a large learning curve. One of the greatest things I learned was staying motivated.

Outside of staying motivated, is maintaining the drive to keep pushing, keep taking phone calls, keep sending emails to break over the tipping point where your business can finally start to have its own momentum.

Another thing to understand working for yourself is that the economy and the state of the world will directly affect your business. And being able to work through that and knowing that things will bounce back is important, having resilience will make you last over the competition.

Alright, so before we go we want to ask you to take a moment to reflect and share what you think you would do if you somehow knew you only had a decade of life left?

Due to the struggling economic situation, not only nationally but also internationally, people just do not have the extra pennies to be able to spend money on a private tour. Being aware of this I started to operate small group public tours, but I was not able to keep up with the competition of some of the larger corporate companies. So at the state that the country is in economically, my business is stuck between a rock and a hard place. I still have clients that love coming on tour, And we receive amazing reviews every other day, and plan it months in advance. But it’s just not enough to be able to live more than paycheck to paycheck these days.

It’s been one of the greatest issues that I’ve personally faced lately is the feeling of selling out, or not knowing when to quit because there’s nothing more that you can do or anyone can do. For the time being I’m still happily operating dynamic journey tours, but God forbid, if anything happens to the way that our current economic system is running, nobody’s going to be going on tours, let alone private tours. And I will then be left back at the drawing board again.

This challenge only has presented itself because of the current political choices made over the last 4 years. And unfortunately those choices are so far out of control from the greater public and taxpayers that I may just have to bite the bullet and move or start a new career in a different but more stable job market.
