Steven talks once more to Alfie Best, the businessman and philanthropist who in 2019 made the Sunday Times UK Rich List, and who is currently the chairman of Wyldecrest Parks, among many other property and business ventures. Alfie has built his empire through honesty, bravery, and most of all confidence, and has recently been named the "first billionaire gypsy in the UK". In his own unmistakably candid style, Alfie discusses the route he took to become one of the most powerful businessmen in the world, and why confidence is the key to living your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS No one should go into business without a plan. It can be as simple as you like, but you need a clear intention. Alfie's intention is simplicity and hard work. Thinking with the right mindset is the key to achieving billionaire status. You have to think with a wealth mindset and not a poor mindset. The benefit of sharing your story gives you many gifts. It enhances your public profile, it teaches others that anything is achievable, and it allows you to help others to start their own journeys to success. Take your advice from people who know what they're talking about. Don't listen to people who haven't walked the path before you. Listen to the voices of true experience. To achieve confidence in your business, make sure you understand your product and your topic. But most importantly, develop the ability to listen. BEST MOMENTS 'Likeminded people always flock together' 'I'm a real billionaire. I can justify it, explain it, and it's checkable' 'I started to understand and value my own worth a lot more' 'You have to remember that the sun shines, but it also rises and falls. Tomorrow is a new day every day' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

This week, Steven talks once again to entrepreneur, boxer, and star of Absolutely Ascot, Alfie Best Jr, this time to talk about next chapters and how success compounds, what drives him in life and how motivation and drive are more important than qualifications, and how the power of words can be used to build or topple empires. KEY TAKEAWAYS For some people, qualifications are very important. But in most cases, simply having the drive to do something is enough to get you there. Having goals can keep the fires burning inside of you, even during the tough times. Having something to aim at is the fuel behind true drive. Calculated risks are crucial if you want to break through barriers and take success to the next level. There's only so far you can go if you play it safe. Social media has a sinister way of taking something that someone has said and re-contextualising a statement in order to provide shock value. We need to hear everything and then judge for ourselves. BEST MOMENTS 'To work for yourself, you don't need qualifications. You just need to want to do it' 'You've always got to look at what's next' 'I'm young, and I'm willing to take more risks' 'I haven't got big boots to fill, because I'm not trying to fill them. I'm going to walk right past them' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study Alfie Best Jr Twitter - https://twitter.com/alfiebestuk ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

He discusses his life philosophy and explains why if you stride into a recession, you'll be able to see the opportunities clearly and make things happen. KEY TAKEAWAYS Working with a really good team makes the journey of growth less stressful and more successful When the market is changing you have to re-evaluate to adjust and change A loss is a gain when it liquefies your capital, giving you the opportunity to go again debt free. In a changing market, you must be prepared to change your model It's about being fluid in property it's not just bricks and mortar it's about understanding the purpose it can have Now I look at how I can change as many people's lives as possible, in the industry I'm in every day Every day I'm trying to improve myself, to be a better me because it puts me in a better position to help others more Your opinion should be based on what you think and what you know You have to do the uncomfortable jobs to find what's right for you If there is a downturn around you it doesn't mean it has to be a downturn for you What really counts is how far you are willing to push yourself Never forget to live for today as well as reaching and working for tomorrow BEST MOMENTS ‘My passion allowed me to work harder and put the time in' ‘Whatever you are doing it's about the people you are talking to' ‘Success is no different to riding a bike you get better at it with experience but you mustn't ever forget that many things can happen on the journey' RESOURCES FOR THIS EPISODE www.nataliearabella.com/goldstarmastermind Apply for the Confidence Collective - bit.ly/goldstarapply Join the Confident Entrepreneurs Collective Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/confidententrepreneurscollective VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.facebook.com/groups/confidententrepreneurscollective http://www.nataliearabella.com/ Confidence Mastery Podcast 7 Step Confidently Wealthy Program http://Bit.ly/GSElite http://Bit.ly/bimapply https://nataliearabella.com/rockstarconfidence/ https://bit.ly/121withnatalie ABOUT THE HOST Natalie Bailey is a Property Developer and Confidence Coach.

How do you create a successful business and solve the housing crisis at the same time? Well, Alfie Best has one of the most innovative answers out there at the minute. The owner of Wildcrest, which is the biggest Mobile Park operator in the UK, soon to be the world. In this interview, Mark asks Alfie, how he started out in the industry, what the mechanics of the industry are and why Alfie believes they are the answer to the housing crisis in affordable houses currently? Listen to one of the most successful business people in the UK and what his advice is on creating a successful business in 2019. Key Takeaways Why did you get into the Mobile Park Industry? I was born and bred in a caravan as a Romani. Who better to run Mobile Parks than someone who has lived and breathed this world throughout my life. It was a natural progression for us from commercial conversions. I really believe in them, and I'm passionate about my business, I don't really see it as work. How does the mechanics of the business work? It's not complicated the customer actually purchases the mobile home often for 50% of what the same property would be if it was classed as a house. They get a 1983 mobile home act document drafted from the government which is an infinite lease on the property. It has no end date. It's a simple but powerful document. You are in effect purchasing a bungalow at residential standards which are pre-fabricated. It's like a timbre home from the states or modular homes which you see popping in different places. They have to be built on a chassis and have wheels, but they never get moved. How does it benefit you to have a mobile home? Once it doesn't have wheels and a chassis it becomes a house. If we have planning permission for a mobile home park then we can't build houses. It's classified as a caravan but it is never towed or moved anywhere else, it's essentially static. We all need to find our niche. I don't regard this as a niche, we than 13,000 residents as a country and we have 5 parks in North Carolina. We are looking to expand our business in the US. Councils are still of the opinion to say no, it's not seen as a positive to support our kind of business. Sensible government is a friend often but councillors can be really difficult to work with and can go against what the government have set down. How do you cope with working across different continents and countries? Have you found it challenging? When you start a business anywhere in the world, you have to pay an ‘idiot' tax which is about learning to run your business. I always say that you should start small so your ‘idiot' tax is a much smaller cost. When we first went to America we only bought one home. A business has to be like water, it has to flow and change but be strong enough to keep going forward. Why is it that mobile home parks are the answer to affordable housing? It's very simple. The government are trying to build their way out through social housing. As there is no cap on it and they have to compete on the open market it's never going to solve the problem. We don't offer houses for key workers like ambulance staff for example. Properties should only be able to be sold to key workers in key sectors. Whereas park homes only ever stay as affordable housing, always at 50% less than a house even when the price goes up it's always comparatively cheaper. That's because there is a stigma to it. Most of our customers are downsizing. A lot of our customers are buying a mobile home and then buying a second home in Spain or the US. Houses don't have to be a ball and chain around their neck, it allows people freedom in older age. We are trying to lobby the government to explain this. There are some great councils and are some terrible councils. We are bringing people who are semi-retired or retired people to an area. So we are actually bringing other families as well. We are helping social housing as well as contributing to communities. I hate the word social housing but I think of it as affordable housing. What have been your biggest setbacks in business? The biggest set back was not questioning myself too much when I nearly went bust. Broke means that you are in negative equity, and verging on either going bankrupt which is where I found myself. I had a house with too big a mortgage invested in it. My biggest mistake was I didn't see the recession coming because I wasn't experienced enough. I thought I was better than I was. How have you changed this ready for the next recession? We have stopped looking at profit and concentrated on cash flow. My board loves talking about profit, but I focus on cash flow. The cash flow could be in the red but your profits look great. It's a balancing act. Making sure your business is sweating, and your wastage at minimum is essential. That could be down to the water bottles in the corner of your building. How do you innovate? What do you do to get better incrementally? We regularly buy business which has gone into administration. Firstly, we set up a rudimentary cash flow system to see where the business is, see how much in the red they are. See what there is that is needed and what is extra. You have to be harsh, and be commercially viable when turning around a business. Then as you get bigger we constantly review what we are doing. Best Moments ‘I don't see my business as work, it's a passion.' ‘The 1983 mobile home document is simple but powerful.' 'They are referred to as park-home bungalows.' ‘This is the real solution to an affordable housing crisis.' “It's harder to get planning to build mobile homes than building a house in the states.' ‘It's always an affordable model for housing.' ‘I usually find I make the most money in those quirks.' ‘This country are selling ourselves short.' ‘I love to see people trying to make a success.' ‘It takes a special person to start a business.' ‘Be brave when everyone else is going away.' ‘Residents at mobile parks can be like winning the lottery.' ‘We want to invest where we are welcomed and where we are making a difference.' ‘The biggest set back was not questioning myself too much when I nearly went bust.' ‘Every pound is a prisoner.' ‘If a business is not commercially viable you will hurt a lot of people.'

However, coming from a struggling background and a minority group only gave him even more desire to succeed. As a gypsy, he had to face many obstacles and prejudices but he has never allowed those to ruin his dreams and ambitions or to disrupt his investments into the businesses he operates. Instead, he has taken those negative prejudices and turned them into positives by surrounding himself with a diverse and multicultural team. Alfie Best manages his businesses as a real leader, knows his employees by name and likes to meet all residents of his mobile home parks.

In this episode of The Progressive Property Podcast, we revisit a previous episode, with entrepreneur and property investor Alfie Best. Learn how to grow your property business quickly, understand the benefits of getting an education and pick up great hints and tips along the way with Kevin and Alfie! KEY TAKEAWAYS Property is a people business. One of the best gifts that you can be given is learning how to speak to everybody because you never know who's coming out from behind that door. It could be somebody 90, it could be somebody 15. They're from many different worlds. Learning how to speak to people on the spot is a massive education because it gives you the confidence to know how to speak to people. How to grow your business quickly. Everybody has problems but your problems should not be an issue, your problems should be a learning experience and every issue that you come across makes you stronger for the next round. It's about going out for the fight, being fit for the fight, being fit for the purpose of the fight, and learning by your mistakes. Education. Another thing you should do to grow your business rapidly is about knowing your business whether it is vehicles selling, whether it is property or whatever. Through education and learning how you should operate your business to reach optimum production of your company or business, you will always succeed in your businesses. Self-belief that failure is not an option. This is something that should always be in you whether you are successful or not or whether you are rich or poor. Having this kind of spirit in you always keeps you going whenever the times get hard and be sure with this, you will always emerge at the top. We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from. We don't make mistakes unless we harp on them, what we do is we learn from them to not make that decision in that way again. Be prepared to listen. There's a reason we were given one mouth and two ears by God, this is so that you can listen more and do less talking. The more you listen the more you learn. This helps a lot because you get to learn more skills that you didn't know from people by listening to them. Ask if you are not sure of anything. Be prepared to take advice from people who have already achieved great success. Swallow your pride and ask, do not assume that you know everything which may cost you big in the future. If you want advice, don't ask the funeral or the undertaker how to arrange your wedding and don't go to the wedding exhibition expecting them to arrange a funeral, go to the right person to ask the right question, ask people that are within the industry. When you're in a job that you love, do more than you're paid to do because you will be recognized for it and you will climb the ladder faster than anybody else in that company. Because people can see that you're somebody that is conscientious about what you're doing. For you to achieve success in your personal and business life, you need to look at the company that you surround yourself with because if you surround yourself with people talking about football, you'll talk about football, if you surround yourself with people talking about boxing, you'll talk about boxing, if you surround yourself with people talking about business, you'll talk about business, this is because we are all creatures of habit. Try to surround yourself with people that have the right habits. BEST MOMENTS “One of the best gifts that you can be given is learning how to speak to everybody.” “Always learn through your mistakes.” “Everybody makes mistakes, the two things you need to do is admit them and learn from them. People that can't admit them and people that can't learn from them will stay stagnant.” “We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from.” “You fail when you quit.” “We don't live long enough to make all of the mistakes ourselves, learn from others and life will be a lot shorter and a lot more enjoyable where your work is concerned.” “A man with a plan will be a genius without a plan.” “We are never ever too old to learn.” “The only person that put somebody down is themselves.” “Success is made up of good habits.” “Believe in yourself and always listen to everybody but the advice you choose to take must be your decision.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE GUEST Alfie Best.

This week, Steven talks to entrepreneur, boxer, and start of Absolutely Ascot, Alfie Best Jr, about the ways in which boxing can give you confidence and control, the importance of discipline, the transferrable lessons between sport and business, and the family legacy that drives him forward. KEY TAKEAWAYS Boxing is all about discipline and control. There are many lessons that are transferrable from the world of sport to the world of business. Discipline allows us to be the best version of ourselves, but also gives us the edge when it comes to competition - in business, life or sport. The travelling community is often looked down upon, and find themselves at the short end of prejudice. But they are an entrepreneurial people, and often maligned for no real reason. Pressure pushes us to do better. By associating with those to whom we aspire, we are fuelled into being the best version of ourselves. BEST MOMENTS 'I love boxing from the bottom of my heart' 'It shows you how disciplined you need to be in order to do well' 'Business has been instilled into me' 'We're an entrepreneurial brand of people' 'There's immense pressure on me, but only because I want to do better' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study Alfie Best Jr Twitter - https://twitter.com/alfiebestuk ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual.

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

Alfie Best explains what made him a very successful businessman. Gives his opinion on current global lock down situation and provides very valuable advise how to financially survive current economic situation. Alfie Best (born Alfred William Best, 1970) is a British Romanichal businessman and philanthropist who is the current chairman of Wyldecrest Parks, a mobile home park company.

Natalie talks to Alfie Best, the businessman and philanthropist who in 2019 made the Sunday Times UK Rich List, and who is currently the chairman of Wyldecrest Parks, among many other property and business ventures. Alfie has built his empire through honesty, bravery, and most of all confidence. In his own unmistakably candid style, Alfie discusses his journey to the top in business, and shares his frank wisdom about subjects such as trust, confidence, the importance of working hard, and his definition of what it means to be a true entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS Trust is something that Alfie has a unique perspective upon. He trusts his team, but requests that they do not trust him, as he views himself as fallible, and recognises that he slips up from time to time. Alfie and his organisation get the best out of people by matching the position to the person and not the other way around. No one should go into business without a plan. It can be as simple as you like, but you need a clear intention. Alfie’s intention is simplicity and hard work. Confidence can change a person’s entire appeal. Confidence is the difference between invisibility and attraction. And if you don’t feel confident in yourself, fake it! In the business areas he’s involved in, Alfie makes sure he is educated, passionate and most importantly, that he loves what he does. This love and passion overcomes any doubts or misgivings. The problem with the welfare system is that it provides a reward for nothing. Alfie proposes a system in which jobseekers could claim money for performing a job they’re interested in. Thereby they would, in effect, be earning their benefits. Take your advice from people who know what they’re talking about. Don’t listen to people who haven’t walked the path before you. Listen to the voices of true experience. Any type of sport of scholarly pursuit, so long as it is target-based, can see its skill-set transferrable to business. The winning mind-set applies across everything. To achieve confidence in your business, make sure you understand your product and your topic. But most importantly, develop the ability to listen. Opportunities are something you should always be looking for. Never suppose that your time is worth a fortune. A man that does more than he’s paid to do, will receive more than he’s paid to do. BEST MOMENTS ’Trust is something that’s earned, not given’ ‘When I was born, the doctor slapped my mum!’ ‘An idiot with a plan can beat a genius without one’ ‘It’s like being thrown by a horse’ ‘We have a lot of people who can’t swim, who are standing on the side lines telling people how to do the breast-stroke’ ‘You’ve got to get wet. And I’ve been drenched!’ ‘When you start to win, it’s then about being fair’ ‘You have two ears and one mouth. Use them in that order’ ‘Get up. Dress Up. Show Up. Be Up' VALUABLE RESOURCES Confidence Mastery: Unlock Your Life - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/confidence-mastery-unlock-your-life-podcast/id1497917418 ABOUT THE HOST Natalie Bailey Natalie is the Confident Entrepreneur, helping others be confident and successful in health, wealth & happiness with kick ass coaching at Gold Star Life.

I am a nobody, and i will continue to be a nobody but what i do makes a differenceHaving the opportunity to sit down with Alfie Best was mind-blowing. One of the first things Alfie did off-mic was to test my language skills; I was shocked that Alfie could speak and understand Hindi, now I don't speak Hindi very well, but I do understand parts of it so got what Alfie was saying. Alfie later went onto tell me how Romani Gypsies all originated from Northern India (Punjab) and that's how and why he could speak the language.Alfie is a very proud gypsy man who contributes his success, to his culture and the loving and fun upbringing his parents provided. He left school at the age of 12 and had some early role models that he looked up to, one being a traveller man called Nelson Clark who he mentioned was the first gypsy he remembers having a Roll Royce. It was these early triggers that lit the fuse for Alfie and kick-started his flair for business and the entrepreneurial way of life. He contributes his work ethics to his parents, who are both still alive today and his Father, who is 72 years old and still works seven days a week. "Success isn't a magic word, Success is a habit, Success is a habit of being up, getting up, showing up, and doing what you love day in day out. It's just good habits that create success."Fourteen thousand residents in the UK, Five hundred residents in the US, 18 luxury villas in Barbados are amongst some of the business's Alfie is involved with.Check out the full podcast below, where Alfie offers up some golden nuggets of information and advise.

In this episode, Steven is with philanthropist Alfie Best, Chairman of Wyldecrest Park Homes, Europe's largest park home operator. Alfie's journey is both inspirational and fascinating and he takes pride in being true to himself and his history, being the same person now, as a millionaire businessman, as he was when he began his journey. He has a passion for park homes and loves working, citing his Dad as his most important significant mentor and the individual who instilled the strong work ethic Alfie has sustained throughout his entrepreneurial journey. ‘If I can do this anyone can do it' find out how in this entertaining podcast with a very relatable man who is creating a legacy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Who better to understand park homes than someone who grew up in them. It took me 30 years to find my way to park homes and my passion, we had lots of different businesses before moving into the park home sector. When I'm buying a residential park or a property the first thing I look at are the returns, not where it is located. The property is a tool to create wealth. It's not just a tool to create an income stream it's a tool to develop. When you are buying property check the figures and returns but then look further are there any potential development opportunities? can you go up or out? When you do this, you are increasing the value. What's happened to me isn't magic or because I'm really clever it's just good habits, creating good habits and work ethic. I didn't tell people I was a traveller until I felt I'd reached a level where it wouldn't matter anymore. We have to accept the tools we are born with and learn to sharpen them. I love working in business and the one thing that is a key component for any successful business is the passion of the owner. It's about setting little goals and then the momentum will grow and the business will work on its own. The momentum for Wyldecrest continues to grow and we are focused on building a legacy We are Europe's largest residential park home operator and we want to become the biggest global park home, operator. We are all successful in one way or another. The success we are talking about is financial and I've got a long way to go because I'm only at 450 on the list of richest people in the country. I'm successful at a level and I'm continuing to climb the ladder and enjoying it I try not to waste my time on what could be, would be, should be and I'm not interested in negative people I want to enjoy what I'm doing now. BEST MOMENTS ‘Why would I tell people something that would be detrimental to me, travellers are like black men in a white person's skin' ‘My first job was working with my dad cold call selling tarmac and it taught me to read people' ‘I don't think the property market is saturated all it takes is people with drive and know-how to be successful' ‘Assumption is the mother of all cock-ups‘ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sully Study Podcast Wylde Crest Parks website Progressive Property website ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful.

On today's podcast, I get to interview Alfie Best. Alfie is featured on the Times Rich List due to his extremely successful caravan park business - amongst others. We'll speak to Alfie about his early life and career and how it progressed from selling cars and vans at the age of 14 to establishing his company Wyldecrest Parks as one of the largest park home operators in the country and his many other business interests from hospitality and leisure, events, trading and finance industries - The Rare Cow restaurant chain, the Vinyl Bar, Kyoto Furniture and Best Park Home Finance.
Answers to the Questions YOU are Asking about Property! At the 10k Property Super Conference, Kevin McDonnell sat down with Alfie Best who has a multi-million-pound property business in the UK. Together they answered questions from listeners about all things property. If you want to hear inspirational and informative answers to the questions people are really asking then listen in now. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is the number 1 criteria when deciding whether to invest in property? Know your area, know the property you are buying and start with the end in mind, how am I going to make money out of it? In the face of adversity, what keeps you going? Fear of failure is a powerful driver and to every problem, there is a solution it might not be the solution you want but there is a solution. If you don't take a risk you are never going to realise your potential or learn. What are your hacks and tricks when buying a deal? There is a model to be followed and if a deal ticks the boxes the next consideration is gut instinct about what else you can add to increase the value. What's the best thing currently in your life? Family is always at the heart of everything and in business, it's seeing long term goals come to fruition. What's the best advice for someone just starting a business? Do it, don't waste time get on with it but don't do it half-heartedly get both feet in and get started. What is the best form of marketing in property? Sublime marketing is the best – it's about not selling a property to someone you just whet their appetite enough to get them interested and the more you are not selling it the more they will want it. What the scariest thing that's ever happened, in business or property? Living with yourself when perceiving yourself as a failure is scary and I overcame with perseverance. I followed through, I adapted and changed the business plan to continue to move forward When you are massively stressed and overwhelmed what hacks do you have to overcome it? In a stressful situation take your time to find the right solution If you panic you make the fear worse and potentially make wrong choices. As soon as you own and step up to your choices you can put them behind you, learn from them and move on. Do you think Brexit will have an effect on rental prices? It's about supply and demand, we are 66 million people on a small island with a predicted increase of 8 million over the next 10 years and people need places to live. What is the defining trait that has made you successful? It's about persistence, success is all in the mind everyone defines success differently. There are always people who are further up the ladder of success and they provide inspiration for others to persevere and keep moving forward. BEST MOMENTS ‘I genuinely thought I started perfect I only realised later that I didn't' ‘I realised that I was never going to get myself out of debt working in a job' ‘By changing your model, you are actually showing your business is successful the more a business adapts, the more successful it will become' ‘Keep checking your goals and seeing where you are at, you don't realise how far you can come in 3 or 4 years' VALUABLE RESOURCES No Money Down: Property Investing book by Kevin McDonnell ABOUT THE GUEST Alfie Best a highly motivated business magnate, investor, speaker and philanthropist who serves as the chairman of Wyldecrest Parks. To achieve success is not easy and to maintain that success is even harder but Alfie Best has shown how it can be done, even when you have not been born with the proverbial silver spoon in the mouth. Born of humble origins and raised in a Romany Gypsy family, this self-made man studied at “University of Life” and started his professional success story totally from scratch. However, coming from a struggling background and a minority group only gave him even more desire to succeed. As a gypsy, he had to face many obstacles and prejudices, but he has never allowed those to ruin his dreams and ambitions or to disrupt his investments into the businesses he operates. Instead, he has taken those negative prejudices and turned them into positives by surrounding himself with a diverse and multicultural team. Alfie Best manages his businesses as a real leader, knows his employees by name and likes to meet all residents of his mobile home parks.

How do you create a successful business and solve the housing crisis at the same time? Well, Alfie Best has one of the most innovative answers out there at the minute. The owner of Wildcrest, which is the biggest Mobile Park operator in the UK, soon to be the world. In this interview, Mark asks Alfie, how he started out in the industry, what the mechanics of the industry are and why Alfie believes they are the answer to the housing crisis in affordable houses currently? Listen to one of the most successful business people in the UK and what his advice is on creating a successful business in 2019. Key Takeaways Why did you get into the Mobile Park Industry? I was born and bred in a caravan as a Romani. Who better to run Mobile Parks than someone who has lived and breathed this world throughout my life. It was a natural progression for us from commercial conversions. I really believe in them, and I’m passionate about my business, I don’t really see it as work. How does the mechanics of the business work? It’s not complicated the customer actually purchases the mobile home often for 50% of what the same property would be if it was classed as a house. They get a 1983 mobile home act document drafted from the government which is an infinite lease on the property. It has no end date. It’s a simple but powerful document. You are in effect purchasing a bungalow at residential standards which are pre-fabricated. It’s like a timbre home from the states or modular homes which you see popping in different places. They have to be built on a chassis and have wheels, but they never get moved. How does it benefit you to have a mobile home? Once it doesn’t have wheels and a chassis it becomes a house. If we have planning permission for a mobile home park then we can’t build houses. It’s classified as a caravan but it is never towed or moved anywhere else, it’s essentially static. We all need to find our niche. I don’t regard this as a niche, we than 13,000 residents as a country and we have 5 parks in North Carolina. We are looking to expand our business in the US. Councils are still of the opinion to say no, it's not seen as a positive to support our kind of business. Sensible government is a friend often but councillors can be really difficult to work with and can go against what the government have set down. How do you cope with working across different continents and countries? Have you found it challenging? When you start a business anywhere in the world, you have to pay an ‘idiot’ tax which is about learning to run your business. I always say that you should start small so your ‘idiot’ tax is a much smaller cost. When we first went to America we only bought one home. A business has to be like water, it has to flow and change but be strong enough to keep going forward. Why is it that mobile home parks are the answer to affordable housing? It’s very simple. The government are trying to build their way out through social housing. As there is no cap on it and they have to compete on the open market it’s never going to solve the problem. We don’t offer houses for key workers like ambulance staff for example. Properties should only be able to be sold to key workers in key sectors. Whereas park homes only ever stay as affordable housing, always at 50% less than a house even when the price goes up it's always comparatively cheaper. That’s because there is a stigma to it. Most of our customers are downsizing. A lot of our customers are buying a mobile home and then buying a second home in Spain or the US. Houses don’t have to be a ball and chain around their neck, it allows people freedom in older age. We are trying to lobby the government to explain this. There are some great councils and are some terrible councils. We are bringing people who are semi-retired or retired people to an area. So we are actually bringing other families as well. We are helping social housing as well as contributing to communities. I hate the word social housing but I think of it as affordable housing. What have been your biggest setbacks in business? The biggest set back was not questioning myself too much when I nearly went bust. Broke means that you are in negative equity, and verging on either going bankrupt which is where I found myself. I had a house with too big a mortgage invested in it. My biggest mistake was I didn’t see the recession coming because I wasn’t experienced enough. I thought I was better than I was. How have you changed this ready for the next recession? We have stopped looking at profit and concentrated on cash flow. My board loves talking about profit, but I focus on cash flow. The cash flow could be in the red but your profits look great. It’s a balancing act. Making sure your business is sweating, and your wastage at minimum is essential. That could be down to the water bottles in the corner of your building. How do you innovate? What do you do to get better incrementally? We regularly buy business which has gone into administration. Firstly, we set up a rudimentary cash flow system to see where the business is, see how much in the red they are. See what there is that is needed and what is extra. You have to be harsh, and be commercially viable when turning around a business. Then as you get bigger we constantly review what we are doing. Best Moments ‘I don’t see my business as work, it’s a passion.’ ‘The 1983 mobile home document is simple but powerful.’ 'They are referred to as park-home bungalows.’ ‘This is the real solution to an affordable housing crisis.’ “It’s harder to get planning to build mobile homes than building a house in the states.’ ‘It’s always an affordable model for housing.’ ‘I usually find I make the most money in those quirks.’ ‘This country are selling ourselves short.’ ‘I love to see people trying to make a success.’ ‘It takes a special person to start a business.’ ‘Be brave when everyone else is going away.’ ‘Residents at mobile parks can be like winning the lottery.’ ‘We want to invest where we are welcomed and where we are making a difference.’ ‘The biggest set back was not questioning myself too much when I nearly went bust.’ ‘Every pound is a prisoner.’ ‘If a business is not commercially viable you will hurt a lot of people.'

How to grow your business quickly. Everybody has problems but your problems should not be an issue, your problems should be a learning experience and every issue that you come across makes you stronger for the next round. It's about going out for the fight, being fit for the fight, being fit for the purpose of the fight, and learning by your mistakes. Education. Another thing you should do to grow your business rapidly is about knowing your business whether it is vehicles selling, whether it is property or whatever. Through education and learning how you should operate your business to reach optimum production of your company or business, you will always succeed in your businesses. Self-belief that failure is not an option. This is something that should always be in you whether you are successful or not or whether you are rich or poor. Having this kind of spirit in you always keeps you going whenever the times get hard and be sure with this, you will always emerge at the top. We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from. We don't make mistakes unless we harp on them, what we do is we learn from them to not make that decision in that way again. Be prepared to listen. There's a reason we were given one mouth and two ears by God, this is so that you can listen more and do less talking. The more you listen the more you learn. This helps a lot because you get to learn more skills that you didn't know from people by listening to them. Ask if you are not sure of anything. Be prepared to take advice from people who have already achieved great success. Swallow your pride and ask, do not assume that you know everything which may cost you big in the future. If you want advice, don't ask the funeral or the undertaker how to arrange your wedding and don't go to the wedding exhibition expecting them to arrange a funeral, go to the right person to ask the right question, ask people that are within the industry. When you're in a job that you love, do more than you're paid to do because you will be recognized for it and you will climb the ladder faster than anybody else in that company. Because people can see that you're somebody that is conscientious about what you're doing. For you to achieve success in your personal and business life, you need to look at the company that you surround yourself with because if you surround yourself with people talking about football, you'll talk about football, if you surround yourself with people talking about boxing, you'll talk about boxing, if you surround yourself with people talking about business, you'll talk about business, this is because we are all creatures of habit. Try to surround yourself with people that have the right habits. BEST MOMENTS “One of the best gifts that you can be given is learning how to speak to everybody.” “Always learn through your mistakes.” “Everybody makes mistakes, the two things you need to do is admit them and learn from them. People that can't admit them and people that can't learn from them will stay stagnant.” “We can all fail if we believe it's a failure, or we can all win if we believe our failures are just lessons that we're learning from.” “You fail when you quit.” “We don't live long enough to make all of the mistakes ourselves, learn from others and life will be a lot shorter and a lot more enjoyable where your work is concerned.” “A man with a plan will be a genius without a plan.” “We are never ever too old to learn.” “The only person that put somebody down is themselves.” “Success is made up of good habits.” “Believe in yourself and always listen to everybody but the advice you choose to take must be your decision.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Website: https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk/ ABOUT THE GUEST Alfie Best.

Welcome back to another episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur podcast with your host Rob Moore. In this latest episode, Rob interviews Chairman of Wyldecrest Parks, business magnate, investor and philanthropist, Alfie Best. Their conversation goes from Alfie's humble routes knocking on doors, to being a multi-millionaire owner of the biggest mobile home country business in the world. Are entrepreneurs born or made? and what's the difference between being a boss and a leader, find out more by listening to this fascinating interview. Key Takeaways Do You Think Being Born On The Side of The Road Has Shaped The Way You Do Business? No, the place where you are born is not important, it's the journey that is important. I don't see myself as an entrepreneur I see myself as an artist, and I'm painting a picture of my life with the business. Are Entrepreneurs born or made? The word entrepreneur is banded around way too much, and we use the word but we don't have an understanding of what it means. Are they people who can operate across different sectors and fields? Entrepreneurs are successful in not just one field but in different fields. If you're successful at one thing you're a businessman and if you are successful across different fields, you an entrepreneur. For all the success you have, it's only temporary and it can change in the future. We can all teach yourself to become more, but entrepreneurs are natural risk takers, calculated risk takers. In some people that is sparks and in other it might bonfires, but everyone has something. Can That Be A Curse That You Never Quite Make It? I live in fear. I'm always worried about tomorrow. In the next 18 months, I will take Wylecrest to the market, and I believe that we are groundbreaking in a series of areas. We are the ones setting the bar. That's the difference between a hobby and a business, business is going to make you money not cost you money. Why Do You Fear Tomorrow? I live in the real world where changes can happen without any warning. I've been scarred by the 1990 recession which hit the business hard. How Do You Let The Fear Drive You Or Cripple You? My fears push me because it drives me to get up early in the morning and enjoy my work. Life doesn't mould you, life cuts pieces out of you. Are you going to end up masterpiece or misshapen person? It's the fear of failure and fear of going bust which drives me going forward? How Did You Develop That Mindset? I try to simplify things. There are winners and losers and both are successful. One is just more successful than the other. To win you have to unravel the puzzle of how that other boxer, a player person plays. What's The Difference Between A Boss and A Leader? A leader fights with you rather than telling you what to do. I guess the journey is moving from a boss to a leader. Often in interviews, people will say that the team is the most important thing. All of your team should know what your goals are for the business. We start with a yes, for every resident, the residents might not like how we get to the yes but we will explain the process. What Was Your Journey Into Business? Financially we were not rich but as a child, we did have a rich childhood. I went to school periodically through this period and went through some difficult times selling door to door. In this period I realised how important it is to know your market. That recession scars still lives with me today. I looked for businesses that had queues which were Phone shops and Takeaways so I set up my own phone shop which ended up getting sold to Vodaphone. I still own those shops that Vodaphone use today. Traditional education vs teaching yourself? Education gives you the guiding rails. If you think of education as trains the best is the fast train on the tracks whereas the slower trains are being self-taught. I was self-taught. Self-education made me hustler street trader, it added to my education. You have to have both. What is your outlook on Business? Business is the soul of any country, if you want your skin to blossom you have to eat the right food, we need to nurture business more. We need to stop promising what we are going to and teach what we are going to do. Smart Work or Hard Work? Always work smartly but work hard at it. Money makes you happy because it buys you freedom. What Does Disruptive Mean To You? To me is ruffling the feathers of the norm, which I see as a good thing. Best Moments ‘If you're successful at one thing you're a businessman and if you are successful across different fields you an entrepreneur.' ‘Taking the knocks and treating them rather than a downside it's an education' ‘I'm not in the business of commercial hobbies.' ‘A problem is only a problem if you don't find a solution.' ‘Keeping things simple, makes everything simple.' ‘All entrepreneurs are calculated gamblers.' ‘Everybody has a success gene.' ‘Entrepreneurs make terrible managers, and managers make terrible entrepreneurs.' ‘All your team should know your goals for the business.' ‘Have to', is a great master.' ‘There are so many opportunities in the UK from foreign investment.' ‘Easiest thing to get rid of is money, the easiest thing is to gain money.'

To achieve success is not easy and to maintain that success is even harder but Alfie Best has shown how it can be done, even when you have not been born with the proverbial silver spoon in the mouth. Born of humble origins and raised in a Romany Gypsy family, this self-made man studied at “University of Life” and started his professional success story totally from scratch. However, coming from a struggling background and a minority group only gave him even more desire to succeed. As a gypsy, he had to face many obstacles and prejudices but he has never allowed those to ruin his dreams and ambitions or to disrupt his investments into the businesses he operates. Instead, he has taken those negative prejudices and turned them into positives by surrounding himself with a diverse and multicultural team. Alfie Best manages his businesses as a real leader, knows his employees by name and likes to meet all residents of his mobile home parks.
