To describe Willy Weldens with words is next to impossible.
You simply can not.
How do you describe someone who is gravity defying, unbelievably astounding, breath-taking stunts and feats, and just down right mind-blowing?
And that was just the preface to an introduction of a preview of the main attraction of what’s to come.
Willy comes from four generations of circus acrobatic theatrical artists.
At the young age of twelve years old, he started his acrobatic strength training.
He has since become a high flying superstar.
I am very excited and proud to bring you the one and only Willy Weldens.
Thank you Willy, for joining us for this interview.
What’s the most important life lesson you have learned thus far?
Never Give UP
What’s the most important habit that you think has contributed to your success both with your website and your YouTube channel?
My training. I never missed a workout from the age of 12.
What’s the most important personality trait that is sorely missing in society today?
Personally I think it’s laziness. Too many people wait the result without attempting anything.
How long would it take you today to mentor somebody to your same level of success that you have?
It depends on the personality of each person, some would be faster than the other but in any case this would more than 20 years.
What opportunities do you see that you don’t have time to take advantage of?
Enjoy my trips. I travel around the world but I never have time to enjoy it because I have to leave for another benefit.
In one sentence or phrase how would you define success?
It is dangerous to answer this question without seeming pretentious. Everyone sees the success differently; Some people up the bar higher than others. We must not forget that without the fans the success would not exist.
Who are your mentors and why?
I do not have a mentor. I always tried to go my own way. Do not copy others.
What is the most important book you have read and why?
Sorry but I do not read much. Preferred I write my own stories.
What was the most difficult decision you had to make and why?
Stop school and start my circus artist business was a difficult decision for me. Because I was not bad and I loved mathematics. The path I have chosen is very random so I was a little afraid of the future. But now I realize that this is the best decision that I have chosen.
And lastly what question should I have asked you and what is the answer?
And my question would be….. what will you do after, as the artist’s life is fleeting, especially in your category? and my answer should ……. I have not yet found the answer. I prefer to dedicate myself to this because I still have a lot to accomplish and to show people.
Thanks Willy for a great interview!
