It built the foundations for his journey into entrepreneurship and business. Jay decided to focus on the manufacturing recruitment niche, to allow him to focus and scale fast. Look at your potential clients/customers pain points and fix them for them. This gives you an edge over your competitors. Look at gaps in your industry where you can make a difference. As a small business, you can be adaptable and easily differentiate yourself. You can't always be better than your competitors, but you can easily be different. Sales and marketing should always be the two things you focus on first. If they aren't driving the business, then you won't be able to scale. Don't waste time on tasks that don't add revenue. As a business owner your focus should be on revenue-generating tasks or that grow the business. Anything else is a distraction. BEST MOMENTS ‘If I want to be successful, I need to go into a market that was booming…scalability was there' ‘We listened, we went the extra mile' ‘Focus on what revenue you can bring in, you'll always grow that way”  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mentor Podcast - https://www.jay-dhillon.com/podcast Jay Dhillon's website - https://www.jay-dhillon.com Jay Dhillon YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNRouhFVktGDQcCRAzoHydQ ABOUT THE HOST - Jay Dhillon has grown businesses from start-up to success and helped many others do the same.

“Failure is common to most people, but there are ways and things that you can do to avoid it.” In today’s episode of The Business Mentor podcast, Jay interviews Former undefeated WBO World Champion boxer and serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist, Johnny Nelson. Together they discuss what it takes to be successful and how to elevate your personal and business life in this enthralling episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS Quitting should never be a habit when you face challenges. You have to keep on putting even more effort in and look at the challenge at a different angle and try to solve it because quitting does not mean that challenges are over. Lack of discipline makes a lot of people fail in their lives. Success is not easy to achieve, if your focus is to attain a particular goal in your life, you have to be very disciplined, such that nothing can derail you from achieving your purpose. Habit is everything. Make it a habit to do that thing that helps you achieve your goals. Once your thirst is quenched by achieving your goals, you need to find a new motivation to make your calendar stay there. Wisdom is something that is achieved over time. You have to go through good and bad experiences to know how to manoeuvre through challenges that come your way. The upbringing of someone is very crucial to what they become later on in their lives and if someone is brought up with a very good foundation, he or she will probably be a very significant or successful person in society. For you to succeed you have to have mentors who have the foresight and understanding and selflessness to help you. They help you find comfort in discomfort, by believing in you more than you even believe in yourself and once you are comfortable in those situations, you can do anything you can to achieve anything. Keep the negativity out of your mind and keep the negative people far away from you if you want to succeed in life. Never listen to what negative people say to you, but keep pushing on because if you do, you are the fool and not them. BEST MOMENTS “Some people are born knowing their path in life, others fall upon their path in life and some it's forced upon them.”  “If you create good habits, they will affect every aspect of your life.” “If you knock about with idiots, you've got more chances of being an idiot.”  “Ego is our biggest downfall as human beings.”  “You can always remember the truth, you can't remember a lie.”  “Success breeds success.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Hard Road to Glory by Johnny Nelson https://www.jay-dhillon.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST Johnny is an established pundit, event host and motivational speaker, and a former undefeated WBO World Champion boxer.

From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0 to 500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all with no investment other than a slight amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota, and New Look, to name a few. Its immense success inevitably brought about outside interest, and at the age of 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.

In a rare episode your host, entrepreneur and mentor, Jay Dhillon gets questioned on all things business. How he mentors, how he can help you start, grow and scale your own business and why mentoring is the key to success. Hear Jay’s personal story from of how mentorship helped him got him where he is today and how he learns from the losses and enjoys the triumphs. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mind is something that you can keep educated and keep training. In technology now (particularly since the lockdown) you need to be able to adapt, this means constantly learning. We can see the future, we know where it is going we want to be always educated ourselves if you carry on doing what you were 15 years ago you will not advance in business. Mentors should be highly valued as you know they have likely been through difficulties in their businesses. When you speak to mentors or others who have been successful in business, they are telling their stories raw, there is no script or strategy and they give you the belief if they have done it you can do it. You learn from your loses, but you won’t make the same mistakes again. The start-up phase is usually the toughest phase but the most enjoyable, you have to enjoy the process. Many people end up placing too much pressure on themselves, they want that big goal straight away. If you’ve had a big business win, just enjoy it. The journey to success has to be enjoyed, enjoy the wins because the pressures of business are there all the time anyway. It is really important to open up to people if you are struggling in your business if you don’t open up and you don’t be open and honest with your mentor or the person you work with then you will go down the path of fighting against something that you need to let out. When someone very close to you tells you that you’re not going to be successful in business and tells you time and time again, and perhaps you’re going into a competitive industry that you are not familiar with it is not nice to hear. This usually makes you want to do it, even more, make sure you give it your all and do it for yourself. BEST MOMENTS   “When I’m not growing, I’m not fulfilled and that means picking up a book, trying a new idea or a new business.”   “You learn more from failing than you do from your successes.”   “I encourage every entrepreneur to take the help, take what’s on offer especially if you’re struggling and reach out.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Watch the Podcast Interviews by Subscribing to Jay’s Youtube Channel http://bit.ly/JayDhillonYouTube  Subscribe to The Business Mentor Podcast, the #1 iTunes Business Podcast in the UK! https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/business-mentor-podcast/id1370793386   ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

This week, Jay is joined by entrepreneur Rob Smallbone KEY TAKEAWAYS The Coronavirus outbreak has the potential to cause a crash, but Jay is cautious. Panic and speculation are far more likely to invoke trouble than the virus itself. Preparation is what helped Jay to survive the last recession. Do all you can to survive, and ask yourself the question: If my supply chain disappeared tomorrow, could I survive? As a business-owner, you need to make sure that you’re the one who can take advantage of your competitor’s poor planning in these circumstances, and not the other way around. Business has to go on, so make sure you’re the one doing so. Jay built a successful business and then sold it, allowing him a rare insight into the entire process of entrepreneurship that many do not have. It has made him one of the most sought-after coaches in the world. The difference between a good coach and a good mentor is that a mentor usually teaches by relating a real-life example, which is much more effective in terms of instruction. One of the greatest things to come out of podcasting is that Jay has built relationships, formed connections, and created a legacy that will last and endure. Be patient. If you’re consistent in your approach, and take your time, you’ll succeed. Don’t just look for quick wins. Find a strategy that works for you and stick to it. BEST MOMENTS ‘Preparation is so important now’ ’Some hard decisions had to be made’ ‘We’re buying the business, not the business owner’ ‘If I’m going to mentor, then this is my challenge’ ‘Doing it is the most important thing’ ‘Look at yourself.

Coronavirus – Getting Accurate Information  – Interview with Dr Shan Hussain Community GP & host of the ‘Enduring Health’ podcast   ‘It’s not about you and me it’s about all of us, we need to protect everybody’  In this episode packed with information, Jay is checking in with Dr Shan Hussain host of the Enduring Health podcast and community GP with 20 years of professional experience. They discuss the vital importance of getting accurate and legitimate information in a time where social media is a part of everyone’s lives and can be the source of much misinformation. There is great practical advice and tips that everyone can implement in this podcast, listen in and find out more.   KEY TAKEAWAYS If someone has an underlying narrative and see something that supports it, it’s very easy to share without fact-checking or thinking about it first. If you see something on social media from an unofficial source,  check it and see if it’s accurate before sharing. Coronavirus is a type of flu virus there is no actual treatment or vaccine for it at this time. It’s spreading much faster than anticipated. There will be people walking around with no symptoms who can pass it on to someone else. Most people who get it will have mild to moderate symptoms and will fight it off. It is those vulnerable groups, for whom it is potentially much more serious, that the current restrictions are seeking to protect. We have to do everything we can reasonably do to slow the spread. People should not panic; you need to do everything you reasonably can to protect yourself without causing yourself increased anxiety and stress. A difference between coronavirus and seasonal flu is the mortality rate, with the mortality rate for coronavirus being much higher. There is no definitive evidence currently about whether you are immune after you have had it or if it will reoccur in the coming years. There is no cure so it’s about how to protect yourself, and if you get it, what you can do to fight it. Good nutrition through real foods is key to keeping healthy and this is something everyone can do. What we do now will potentially determine how long it lasts into the future. Everyone needs to do what they can to look themselves and each other.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I think testing should be rolled out for all health workers because they are treating others’ ‘Panic buying is a reflection of how fearful people are, but that fear doesn’t serve anyone’ ‘Everybody is working so hard and it makes you proud to be part of the health profession’ ‘It’s great to have a resource such as the NHS to hand’   VALUABLE RESOURCES Recruitment Boss http://Jay@jay-dhillon.com Enduring Health Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

In this episode of The Business Mentor Podcast, your host Jay Dhillon  takes the hot seat! He is joined by Lloyd Girard from White Box Property Solutions, who interviews Jay about his entrepreneurial journey. Jay can’t emphasize enough, what has always been fun and satisfying for him in his journey – and can be with you also – is the opportunity he has to contribute value to others; by mentoring and producing resources. There’s no pause or stop button for this passion of Jays. Of course, there were a lot of challenges before Jay even got to where he is right now. Listen in today at how he managed these challenges and how he was able to scale up his businesses.   KEY TAKEAWAY Jay has been running businesses for 20 years. His first business was in recruitment, grew it, and sold it in 2013. He then explored property investment and started his online recruitment agency, com. He has also been mentoring entrepreneurs on how to start and scale up their business through The Business Mentor Podcast and The Business Mentor Academy. Jay is certain that believing in yourself and in your business that it will be successful did a massive impact on how he got to where he is right now. Challenges in running businesses? He wasn’t ready when the recession came. What he did was he confided with his mentors and colleagues who have experienced it. Aside from motivating him, they gave him great advice and strategies. Find a mentor who will listen, understand, and help you with your career or business. There’s a large number out there to choose from, but you have to put in the effort and time to find the perfect match for you. Jay has always been passionate to give back and urges other entrepreneurs to do the same. Share your experience, inspire others to do what they want to do. Look at money as a way to create opportunities for you, your business and for other people. It will have a positive effect on your mindset, your focus, and your vision. He hopes that his content that he produces can change the lives of other people and will urge other entrepreneurs to do the same – to give back to other people. Jay’s Top Tips for Starters: Everything you do in your business, systemize it. Treat everything as a business. Invest in sales and marketing. Develop your staff. Don’t let anything bring you down.   BEST MOMENTS “It’s hard to find the right one.

In the UK alone 95% of business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.

In this episode of the Business Mentor Podcast, we hear Jay answers questions during the Q&A session during a talk about ‘Property as a Business & Multiple Streams of Income’ which was held last February 26 in Long Eaton Hub. He met with fellow property investors, and he was an absolute inspiration and a mentor to all of them. Jay also talked about his businesses – how did he start and grow them, what efforts he has to put in them, and what obstacles he has to face every single day. If you want to increase your streams of income, make sure to take down notes of what Jay has to say about it. KEY TAKEAWAY When to start your brand and create your content? The ‘brand’ can just be doing one or two post on your Facebook. When Jay began the Business Mentor Podcast slowly. It wasn’t getting enough engagements, but this didn’t let him stop producing content. But now, he was able to monetise it and invest the money to the team. He sets up the systems to set up his brand with the help of his staff and technology. When something unexpected happens, what do you do with it? Acknowledge the fact that not everything you do will go as you planned. Be ready for it and condition yourself that there will be times that you’re going to do things outside your comfort zone. Sometimes you’ll have to stay in and won’t be able to go home to get a shower or see your family. There are sacrifices. What is passion? Jay’s mentor advised, “If you do something well enough and it makes you money, it makes you passionate about it.” That’s the way it goes. Passion is overrated and makes some money. What drives Jay to do the podcast? Jay answers the legacy out of it, and he’s able to help other people. He’s happy that he’s doing what he loves right now. What do you do if you want to start a business (i.e. coaching business)? Think of what you can charge. Offer them a demo service for free. High ticket – Think of what events could you offer. Start small. Should you use LinkedIn? LinkedIn is one of the hottest platforms. It’s easier to network and get some resources on the platform. BEST MOMENTS “You got to get on with it. Sometimes you got to get dirty.” “For me, I work for mentors that are above me. I look up to them and think, ‘I want to be on your level.’” “Don’t think of building your social media to build this massive platform. Just build a core group of people and built it slowly.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Recruitment Boss The Business Mentor Podcast | Omny | iTunes | Stitcher ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

What drives you to keep going in property? One of the fascinating questions that serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Jay Dhillon poses to Mark for The Business Mentor Podcast. They talk about Mark's childhood in Singapore, how he got into property and the rights and wrongs of politics and property in 2019. Listen here for a conversation on learning from two experts in property, and business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS What are you doing at the moment? I’ve got three projects on the go at the moment. Our biggest project is just under 100 flats. I’ve got another project, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor with some residencies above. I’m doing lots of different things, with various different projects.    How was your childhood? I was born in Singapore and came back to England when I was around 12. I went to an international school in Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta is a crazy city, pollution, and people everywhere. I learnt the local dialect and played outside with the other kids in the area. I’ve found that to be a really useful experience in dealing with very different types of people.     Private schools give you a bigger network and a bigger outcome. The difference between the mindset of the private school, and the local college in the area is massive. The people I met at college are all doing more vocational things like dentists, doctors, and solicitors. Whereas the private school went more into business, and are earning lots of money. There is no right and wrong, but if you have the opportunity to invest in your children you can.     The academics are really useful. If my child wants to go to university, I’ll encourage them to but at the expense of life skills, I think that’s wrong. I think if you can have academic skills, and have business skills, rather than just what a textbook says then that’s even better.     In 1997/98 it was like the gold rush, and the market was ripe. My father had worked across the globe and met a lot of business people. He knew that business and property was a good route to go down. My friend had made over £70,000 on property and even without planning permission added an extension. I got really into property books, videos, learning loads. I met a local letting agent who'd figured out which properties were good to buy in Peterborough, which is where I started really.    I’d bought lots of properties abroad especially in Eastern Europe and Florida. So I thought that when they would enter into the EU there would be an increase in the middle class and the property values would go up. What I didn’t realise was that I didn’t know the local knowledge. It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high. Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again. There is lots of corruption in various different places around the world, and it’s really difficult to work out the local rules if you’re not from there.    Treat your property as a business, so systemise it. The one guarantee in business is that it will change. If your systemising your business, doing monthly management accounts, and getting your viewings and inspections sorted then you are going to find it easier to adapt to the change. You’ll find it easier to grow your business because you are able to find out what is working and what isn’t.     Do you think the middle class now are being hammered, so you need to grow all the time? You need to grow otherwise you are in decline. If you carry on doing what you’re doing and not grow, then you will fail. We’ve had various changes in the legislation, and it will all happen again. Make sure you get a really good accountant, who’ll be able to save loads of money for your tax bill.    Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn if he did get into power what would happen? People were concerned about the Labour party before but Tony Blair turned out to be quite a light touch. He says he will introduce rent control, but hasn’t given out any specifics on that. Dependant on how that is introduced could be positive or negative. He says he is going to nationalise, water, and rail. With big companies, he says he will give 10% of the shareholders to the staff, but I don’t know how that is going to work in practice because they are so divested. I don’t think he will be a sustainable model. The debacle that is the EU is costing the country millions in decisions not taken, and uncertainty.    Which property/business strategies will work in 2019, and why? In business and property it’s best to find what you love and what you’re good at. If you’re good at marketing then build a business that needs that skill. Build a team around you who are good at the things that you are not good at. It’s better to do what you love rather than what’s hot in the media at the minute.     What drives you? What keeps you going? I like driving income, and rent roll, I like having a bigger and bigger wall of money to hit the back account every month. I find that very exciting, more than the value of the properties. I get a lot of pleasure in learning from others in the training business we have. We are able to have choices, travel and buy the right house that I want.     Where would you start in property now? I would buy single lets, under £140,000, probably stuff that has been built in the 1970’s. West Midlands, and in the North are probably best rather than in the South. Cut your teeth, and make some mistakes before moving to HMO’s. You don’t have to move up, just do what you enjoy.     What mentors have helped you? There have been loads of different people over the years. I have a lot of friendships who’ve done lots of different things, often in their 50’s and 60’s who have been there and done it all.

What drives you to keep going in property? One of the fascinating questions that serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Jay Dhillon poses to Mark for The Business Mentor Podcast. They talk about Mark's childhood in Singapore, how he got into property and the rights and wrongs of politics and property in 2019. Listen here for a conversation on learning from two experts in property, and business.     KEY TAKEAWAYS What are you doing at the moment? I’ve got three projects on the go at the moment. Our biggest project is just under 100 flats. I’ve got another project, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor with some residencies above. I’m doing lots of different things, with various different projects.    How was your childhood? I was born in Singapore and came back to England when I was around 12. I went to an international school in Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta is a crazy city, pollution, and people everywhere. I learnt the local dialect and played outside with the other kids in the area. I’ve found that to be a really useful experience in dealing with very different types of people.     Private schools give you a bigger network and a bigger outcome. The difference between the mindset of the private school, and the local college in the area is massive. The people I met at college are all doing more vocational things like dentists, doctors, and solicitors. Whereas the private school went more into business, and are earning lots of money. There is no right and wrong, but if you have the opportunity to invest in your children you can.     The academics are really useful. If my child wants to go to university, I’ll encourage them to but at the expense of life skills, I think that’s wrong. I think if you can have academic skills, and have business skills, rather than just what a textbook says then that’s even better.     In 1997/98 it was like the gold rush, and the market was ripe. My father had worked across the globe and met a lot of business people. He knew that business and property was a good route to go down. My friend had made over £70,000 on property and even without planning permission added an extension. I got really into property books, videos, learning loads. I met a local letting agent who'd figured out which properties were good to buy in Peterborough, which is where I started really.    I’d bought lots of properties abroad especially in Eastern Europe and Florida. So I thought that when they would enter into the EU there would be an increase in the middle class and the property values would go up. What I didn’t realise was that I didn’t know the local knowledge. It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high. Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again. There is lots of corruption in various different places around the world, and it’s really difficult to work out the local rules if you’re not from there.    Treat your property as a business, so systemise it. The one guarantee in business is that it will change. If your systemising your business, doing monthly management accounts, and getting your viewings and inspections sorted then you are going to find it easier to adapt to the change. You’ll find it easier to grow your business because you are able to find out what is working and what isn’t.     Do you think the middle class now are being hammered, so you need to grow all the time? You need to grow otherwise you are in decline. If you carry on doing what you’re doing and not grow, then you will fail. We’ve had various changes in the legislation, and it will all happen again. Make sure you get a really good accountant, who’ll be able to save loads of money for your tax bill.    Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn if he did get into power what would happen? People were concerned about the Labour party before but Tony Blair turned out to be quite a light touch. He says he will introduce rent control, but hasn’t given out any specifics on that. Dependant on how that is introduced could be positive or negative. He says he is going to nationalise, water, and rail. With big companies, he says he will give 10% of the shareholders to the staff, but I don’t know how that is going to work in practice because they are so divested. I don’t think he will be a sustainable model. The debacle that is the EU is costing the country millions in decisions not taken, and uncertainty.    Which property/business strategies will work in 2019, and why? In business and property it’s best to find what you love and what you’re good at. If you’re good at marketing then build a business that needs that skill. Build a team around you who are good at the things that you are not good at. It’s better to do what you love rather than what’s hot in the media at the minute.     What drives you? What keeps you going? I like driving income, and rent roll, I like having a bigger and bigger wall of money to hit the back account every month. I find that very exciting, more than the value of the properties. I get a lot of pleasure in learning from others in the training business we have. We are able to have choices, travel and buy the right house that I want.     Where would you start in property now? I would buy single lets, under £140,000, probably stuff that has been built in the 1970’s. West Midlands, and in the North are probably best rather than in the South. Cut your teeth, and make some mistakes before moving to HMO’s. You don’t have to move up, just do what you enjoy.     What mentors have helped you? There have been loads of different people over the years. I have a lot of friendships who’ve done lots of different things, often in their 50’s and 60’s who have been there and done it all. I had more informal type mentors.     Best Moments  ‘My background was really good for helping me deal with lots of different people.’  ‘There were other people at boarding school whose family owned big businesses.’  ‘Through those years I learn loads and loads about business.’  ‘I think the network is worth everything.’  ‘Private school kids all wanted to go into business.’  ‘We are a reflection on what we have been taught.’  ‘Network is your net-worth.’  ‘You can’t learn everything in a textbook.’  ‘Take the calculated risk.’  ‘I got really really excited with property.’  ‘Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again.’  ‘It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high’  ‘Investing in the UK works.’  ‘You do end up making more money in markets that are more efficient.’  ‘There is one guarantee in business is that it will change.’  ‘Systemisation is key.’  ‘You have to be growing otherwise your declining.’  ‘The value of getting a good accountant is priceless.’  ‘Accountants are not a consultant unless you pay them to.’  ‘Do your own research, and take your questions to the accountant.’  ‘I think Corbyn is going to go on a spending spree.’  ‘I think it will be an unsustainable model.’  ‘Politicians have been telling so many lies.’  ‘Theresa May is like the school teacher keeping it all together.’  ‘If you are making products, uncertainty on the price of your produce., is unacceptable.’  ‘Uncertainty is affecting business everyday because of Brexit.’  ‘I like driving income, and rent roll’    Valuable Resources  E-Myth   Life's Leverage     ABOUT THE HOST  Mark Homer  Mark Homer is an entrepreneur investor.  He has worked with investment since he was 15 years old using the laws of wealth!

Welcome back to another episode of the Business Mentor Podcast. Today, your host Jay Dhillon discusses 10 lessons he has learnt from selling his first 7-figure business. Five years ago Jay sold his multi-million-pound business with over 500 staff and offices in three locations and today he brings you lessons he learnt along the way. If you’re looking to start, grow or scale your own business these tips will help to guide you along the way. Discover the essential things you need to know to create a sustainable and cashflowing business and get clarity on what you’re looking to achieve and how to maximise your potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS 10 Lessons From Selling My First 7-Figure Business Investing in a mentor or mastermind - This is the key to success, it's very hard to build a sustainable business without the support and accountability of a mentor or mastermind group. Have an exit strategy - You need to get clear on your strategy, what you want and what you're looking to achieve. Consider how you will scale the business or if you're looking to pass it down etc. Look after your staff better than your clients -  If you focus on your clients and neglect your staff it is then difficult to get your staff back. Treat your staff as part of your business, not just working for our business. Sell your business before you get bored - Nothing will kill your business quicker than you being bored. When you're bored you won't grow or drive your business. Keep cash reserves - Holding back cash is very important, it will help get you through the tough times such as recessions or losing a client. Start slowly and build up a cash reserve and avoid buying luxury items to save money. Use your cash reserve as an insurance policy. Focus on sales and marketing - Put the whole emphasis of your business on sales and marketing. Use your sales and marketing teams to drive the business forward and bring in leads for your business. Always have a plan and never stop marketing or selling, or things will dry up. Take a genuine interest in your clients no matter how big or small - This can be little things such as sending your clients a birthday card. You don’t need to over-indulge you just need to focus on the little things, they do matter.   Don’t be afraid to go after big clients - Ask yourself, why can’t you go for the big clients? You’ll never be ready, but as long as you focus on your sales and fulfilment you can secure the bigger deals. As smaller businesses, you can be more personal and more focused and as a result go above and beyond for the big clients.   Systemise your business so it can run without you - Start small with your systemisation but make sure you start. Use a CRM or an automated lead capture form to reduce admin and divert your leads to a call centre. You can start systemising straight away and grow your business as a result. Reward yourself and have regular breaks - Thinking time is very important, you need to factor this into your businesses growth. You can also get clarity by investing in mentorship or mastermind groups. BEST MOMENTS "To have a sustainable business you will need to have a personal mentor or mastermind group" "My Mentor sat me down every month and kept me on track and working towards my goals" "Focus on your staff just as much as your clients. Treat them well because they are crucial in providing your service and growing your business" "If you're not growing your business because you're bored. Your competition will win" "Make sure you're always excited about your business so you can drive its growth" “Having cash reserves really helped during the recession period” “Start small, be patient and the doors will open” “Get back on that sales funnel and keep selling” ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

Welcome to another episode of the Business Mentor Podcast. Today, Jay takes you into a LIVE video with the Disruptive Entrepreneur himself, Rob Moore. Rob is a serial entrepreneur, investor and property educator and is the Co-founder of Progressive Property. Rob is also Jay’s personal mentor. A mentor can guide you and see things that you can’t see. Some people think you get a mentor once you become successful. This isn’t the case, they become successful because they had a mentor. Mentors give you accountability and the focus to implement the strategies and techniques that can really take your business to the next level. Jay and Rob take a deep dive into mentoring, what it is and how you can benefit from the most underrated and overlooked step towards success. Get inspired, learn the insider secrets to securing a mentor and discover the value of having your own, business mentor. Stay tuned to the end of the episode to hear a very special announcement! http://bit.ly/robvsjay KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob: People say that it’s better to learn from your mistakes, I think that’s bad advice, it’s better to learn from the mistakes of others who have been there and made them. The people who have spent the money and had the difficulty and then you can benefit from it. It’s a vicarious experience learning from a group of mentors, known as a mastermind. Jay: My first mentor was in 2008 when the recession hit, his name is Mike Osbourne and he inspired me to focus on sales, keep going forward and to persevere and it changed my life. Rob: I’ve had mentors and I’ve paid thousands to have them. One of my mentors was James Caan and that was a huge expense, at the time my business had about 12 employees so it was quite small. He showed me that people inspire people but documents and systems manage people. John De Martini has shown me how to see the upside in the downside and the downside in the upside. I’ve had a lot of mentors that have really helped me super-charge my business and add value to my products and services. When you do something for the first time you act like a child and you feel like you’re alone. But you don’t have to be, wouldn’t it be great if you could call on someone who’s been there before and has the answer? To them the situation is normal and they know how to get you out of it. Some people think you get a mentor once you become successful. This isn’t the case, they become successful because they had a mentor. Find the people that are further down the road than you and use and leverage them to drag you up to the next level. Yes, it can be expensive but you need to think about the opportunity cost of not doing it, not getting a mentor. A mentor or a peer group in your industry and your niche has already assimilated all the information out there that you need to be successful. There’s not a lack of information out there, there’s a lack of resources in making that information relevant and implementing it in your business. That’s what a mentor can do for you. Accountability is essential to success, its the ingredient you need in order to meet deadlines and get more done. When you are around productive and proactive energetic people you will rise to the top and take ownership of what you want to achieve. BEST MOMENTS “To know and not to do is not to know” “You are the easiest person to lie to, so you need that accountability to be successful” “Business is about borrowing the traits of the greats” “A wise man learns from other people's mistakes, a foolish man learns from his own mistakes” “There’s a common theme with successful people, they have a mentor. If you’re looking to take your business or career to the next level.” “If your green you grow and if you’re ripe you rot” Ray Kroc VALUABLE RESOURCES ***One-off LIVE event with Rob Moore & Jay Dillon*** ***Only 65 exclusive places available*** ***Click the link below to find out more about this never been seen before event*** http://bit.ly/robvsjay ABOUT THE HOST Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same.

If you’re feeling a bit lost or jaded in the game of life, this episode could serve as a compass and direct you to your true destination. Today on The Business Mentor Podcast, Jay Dhillon talks to Paul Howe, the HEARTS and minds mentor, about the value of finding your true purpose at the very beginning of every journey, may it be in your career, your business, or your life, in general. Paul also shares his own inspiring stories which he owes a lot to because if not for these experiences, he won’t be as impactful to other people as he is right now. Discover how he got over addiction and the ‘all or nothing’ mindset since being dragged by these kinds of setback is what you should avoid. After the realizations and finding his “Why?”, everything became clear to him – he’s meant to help other people. KEY TAKEAWAY Paul Howe shares his personal stories that shaped him who he is today. He shares how he has witnessed domestic violence, physical & verbal abuse at an early age. So, to cope with the psychological and emotional burden, he acquired addiction – addiction to the Nottingham Forest Football club and alcohol. This led him to lose jobs and relationships. He then realized that the ‘all or nothing’ mindset he got from his experiences, is not sustainable. You can’t give what you don’t have. He was emotionally unstable to help others like he wanted to. “I knew what my purpose was but didn’t have the emotional currency to fulfil it so he went to a personal development... We’re human beings so it’s okay to be vulnerable.” Paul considers Deepak Chopra and Tony Robbins as his mentors. Acceptance is good. You have to open yourself to the world. Accept defeat if it happened. Accept that you need help. Accept that there are other people who are more capable than you. Have the strength to show vulnerability and say that you don’t know anything. If you’re looking to go into business, find that purpose. Know the power of questioning yourself: What is your end result? What are you striving for? Is it a balance? Set your vision but once you start the journey, you have to be adaptable. Stop being fixated with what the outcome would be. It won’t be a smooth journey so you have to let go and enjoy it. Jay shares what he loves about mentoring – giving back knowledge and also learning from others. Sharing your experience and seeing a person become successful is very fulfilling. BEST MOMENTS “The two biggest fears we have in our life is not being good enough and not being loved.” – Paul “I was developing these survival skills at a high level. But more importantly, the beacon I add through all my own personal challenges was the fact that I was here to serve others… and become very aware of that.” – Paul “You can’t give what you don’t have.” – Paul “You gotta believe… you’ll get to a point in life where you’ll get something of value. A setback is just part of life.” – Jay “When you wanna get from A to B. Don’t worry too much about connecting the dots… How do I get there? It will happen. You just gotta put the work in and believe the direction that you’re taking.” – Jay VALUABLE RESOURCES Emerging From The Forest: From Pain to Purpose (Mastering the Game of Life) by Paul D.

ABOUT THE GUEST (PAUL LOWE) Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud.  He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote: “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Paul Lowe is ‘The Third Sector Mentor’ and makes a difference by helping you make a difference.  He is totally committed to his HEARTS brand vision (an acronym) of: ‘Helping Everyone Achieve Results Towards Success’. Paul has a long and distinguished track record of raising significant funds for a multitude of good causes; positively changing the lives of many disadvantaged children within the UK and globally – drawing on his colourful and wide-ranging life’s experiences to help others do the same and achieve success in The Game Of Life. “Remember – Mastering Life Starts, By Embracing Our HEARTS!” CONTACT METHOD Paul Lowe Website: https://www.paullowehearts.com Facebook: me/PaulLoweHEARTS Jay Dhillon https://www.jay-dhillon.com/ https://uk.linkedin.com/in/jaydhillon https://www.instagram.com/jaydhillonuk/ https://www.facebook.com/JaydhillonUK/ Jay@businessmentorpodcast.com

On this episode of Business Mentor Podcast, Jay Dhilllon is joined by Kul Mahay! Jay and Kul talk about Kul’s career background and how he believes leadership should be. Kul emphasizes on the two kinds of leadership (dissonance and resonance), the importance of human interactions, the vulnerability of leaders, authenticity of leadership, removal of negativity from your life, and so much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s normal for leaders to sometimes feel the impostor syndrome. We’re all human beings. Sometimes, despite being successful, we feel we lack internally of Leaders don’t like talking to other leaders about their weaknesses. You think they might have high expectations of you. You might be perceived as weak but it’s okay. You have to feel the vulnerability of being human. The more real you are, the better you are. More intuitive and powerful decisions come. Kul’s dream since he was a kid was to be a police officer. It started settling in his mindset when he was little. Being a police officer meant safety, security, commitment, peacekeeping, etc. Kul thought it was a powerful role to play in the community. Better keep feeding your dream. Kul sent out applications and got 26 rejections. His dream was too strong, he couldn’t give up. He got his dream on the 27th. You need to be hungry for your dream. You’ll earn a resilience if you want it enough. You’re gonna have challenging days. Kul became a leader. According to Kul, if you want your organization to excel in a marked but sustainable way, you have to change your culture. It doesn’t matter if it’s only 10 people or a big 500 group is working under you, Kul does what he terms as ‘management walkabouts’. He talks and connects to every individual. It is only this way you realize the true expertise and depth within your staff. There are two types of leadership: dissonance and resonance. Dissonance is leading in such a way you’re creating a gap between you and the people you’re leading while resonance is about building and bridging the gap with those who you are leading. The moment you’re influencing the outcome for others, you’re a leader. We are at some point in our lives have experienced being a leader. Build human relationships. Talk to your admin lady. Talk to the assistant. They’re the gatekeepers. Talk to the people who know exactly what the process is. Be pleasant to everybody. Remove negativity from your life. People that bring you a bad mood on a daily basis need to be cut off. It doesn’t matter if it’s a family, a friend, or a workmate. Sometimes, it’s healthier if you communicate with them not often as you’re used to. It does not have to be every day. Don’t bottle up everything inside of you. Chances are you’re going to burst at the wrong moment at the wrong time. Let it out. Cry if you have to. Be much more authentic. Be the real you. You’ll be stronger and better. Be authentic to yourself. You want to be seen as you. Show what your passions are. the values are what decides what’s right for you. Every human being has inner spirit. Most don’t know we got it. Most who know it won’t ignite it. Those who recognize it and ignite it are the only people who understand and realize that it’s immense power. Find people who resonate with you and will help you in your journey. You can’t do everything yourself. Get talented people so you can focus on what you do best. Feed your mind. Move your body.

In this episode your host Jay Dhillon interviews Personal Branding Expert Lauren Tickner. Discover how anyone can be an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be special, you just have to take action and start in order to get the result you want. Hear the real story of Lauren Tickner’s journey to success and how is she generates multiple streams of online income. Lauren focuses on her online business helping others with their personal branding, and after building a following on social media through the fitness industry, she discovered a passion for creating freedom, mentoring and impacting the lives of others. Jay and Lauren discuss how anyone can build their personal brand no matter what age they are, you just have to put valuable content out there, consistently and connect with like-minded individuals. Learn how to focus on your strengths and master your craft, build a following and a brand and you’ll earn legitimacy and credibility and with that authority. Find out how to focus on connecting with people and your personal brand will naturally grow, do something you enjoy and build a tribe of raving fans. KEY TAKEAWAYS Jay: How did you come about starting your business so early on? Lauren: At age 18 I got a job in asset management for a FTSE 250 company, though the investment 2020 scheme. However, after a year I handed in my notice, because I was so keen and passionate about doing my own thing. I wanted to merge my passion and profession in the fitness industry and build my social media following up, so I started to sell fitness ebooks and it was then I knew online business was my thing. Jay: Did you learn anything relevant at University? Lauren: Probably accountancy, but  University is no longer enough and your personal brand now can be your personal CV. When I discovered mentors, I saw how they can help and how they can give you more freedom. So I constantly surround myself with people in a position I want to be in, like-minded individuals. Jay: Where did your first six figures come from? Lauren: Initial it came from selling fitness ebooks whilst at university, but I realised that I needed multiple streams of income so I started building my social following, I did this by constantly adding value to my audience, I was posting three times a day, engaging and  valuable content. I then started to target ‘high flyers’ or influences and sold an online fitness course, I targeted a niche and sold them a product relevant to them. But anyone can do this you can run facebook ads or instagram ads and provide value to people. Jay: What are your goals moving forward? Lauren: I’m working on helping others even more, I’m focused on mentorship and personal branding, a 12-month programme with actionable step-by-step advice. People need a strong foundation before monitising and by drip feeding information I can help them do that. BEST MOMENTS   There’s so much power in doing your own thing, and having freedom. Imagine what you could do if you focuses more time on your business Once you build your personal brand, you have legitimacy and once you have that you have authority If you’re a mentor you are trading your time for money, but if you want to help even more people, you can do this with social media and online courses Does it sometimes feel uncomfortable, yes. But there’s jealousy there and they want to be doing what you're doing. Grant Cardone Just get started, get excited and work on filling your room. Don’t worry about what others are doing. Treat everyone as a mentor and extract the knowledge that you want to learn   Jay: If you could give 5 steps to help someone to build a brand or business and monitise it, what what they be? Lauren: Know your niche - Figure out where to post engaging content that your target audience will see. Start with two platforms. Spend an hour every single day -  Adding value and serving your niche. Post consistent content  - Provide actionable and engaging value to your idea client. Engage with your community -  Speak to your followers and spend time with them. Create an email list - Provide offers and capture your audience's details. Contact your followers in more ways than one and de-risk your business incase the platforms you use change.

In this episode Jay Dhillon shares 9 golden nuggets of knowledge from his meeting with the billionaire entrepreneur and one of the most successful online influencers in the UK, Grant Cardone. These tips will add value to your business and give you something extra to 10X your further success.  TAKEAWAY 1 Grants asked me, “Could you handle £300.000.000? If someone gave you £300.000.000 could you handle it?” Obviously I have answered, “Of course.” Grant explains “This is why the £300.000.000 would be a problem! Because to fly an F16 jet, it takes years of training, experience gained through flying smaller planes, it just doesn’t happen over night. The same with the £300.000.000. If I was to give you £300.000.000 you wouldn’t know what to do with it and probably you would blow it, instead than invest it wisely.” TAKEAWAY 2 Be efficient at making money! Always think about new ways to generate new sources of income. Invest your money wisely. TAKEAWAY 3  You can’t save yourself to success! You can’t save all your life extremely, hoping you will become rich one day. You need to invest your money wisely to generate new and more substantial income.  TAKEAWAY 4 An often question that Grant has to answer to is: “How do I become successful?” The knowledge is out there, he says. It always has been, you just need to put the effort into finding the right one. Teach yourself and read lots of books. They usually answer with “I don’t like reading!” So, his next question is, “Do you like to be broke?” TAKEAWAY 5 Knowledge is right and it is wrong, Grants says. The right knowledge is powerful, but the wrong knowledge is powerful too, in a negative way. It is powerful because it can bring you down.  TAKEAWAY 6  Money is everything, accept it! Grants says money is like oxygen and without it you can’t live, because for everything you need to pay. TAKEAWAY 7 You are the company that you keep! Grants again believes this is a myth. Take the time, invest and focus on yourself. Rich friends are not going to make you wealthy. TAKEAWAY 8 You should talk to strangers! Obviously this statement brought up some contradictions from parents who raise their kids teaching them not to approach strangers. Grants explains that before we got to know the people that today are important to us, they were strangers too, for example your wife or best friend or whomever you might think of.  TAKEAWAY 9  Don’t do what you love, follow the money! Some people may find this a bit absurd but if you hear Grants opinion you might change yours. Me, personally, when I started business, I didn’t like the industry I was in, but I was making money. That money allowed me to do the things I love and enjoy. BEST MOMENTS Start off small and build it step by step! “I am going to prove to you why £300.000.000 isn’t good for you. Let me give an example: If I was to put you in an F16 jet, which is worth about £250.000.000 and ask you to fly it, that would make you feel uncomfortable.” To be successful there are no shortcuts, you need to put the effort in and take actions. There is no easy way to become successful. If you don’t approach new people, you will never expand the circle of people you know. You might miss out on some good values that they might have offered you. If your passion doesn’t make you money, you need to follow the money because you will end up hating something once you used to love and enjoy.

DESCRIPTION Business, education, wealth, mind-set, strategy, leverage, success, legacy, giving back and mentorship are all topics covered in this episode of The Business Mentor Podcast as Jay Dhillon interviews multi-millionaire and serial entrepreneur, Rob Moore. Learn how Rob went from £50k+ in debt to running multi-million pound businesses by seizing opportunities and ignoring conventional wisdom. Plus, a free giveaway for the first 5 to claim! KEY TAKEAWAYS I just want to know a bit about your past, Rob, how it all started, you can go as deep as you want? OK. I will do the short version. When I was very young my Dad had pubs, bar, clubs, restaurants. The most quintessential entrepreneur ever, big was the cash in his pocket. I just wanted to be my Dad. I had a pretty good upbringing, I haven’t got that excuse. I also got pretty good grades at school, from sort of eighteen to twenty-five I got stack in the education system. I went to uni, where I did architecture, but did nothing with it. Literally, the next day I went to my Dad's pub and then I found myself £40k/£50k in debt. After uni and getting a car loan for a car, spending to much money on credit cards I found myself over thousands of pounds in debt. Then my Dad had a nervous breakdown in his pub, suffered of severe depression and bipolar personality, got sectioned and we didn’t see him for a good while. What I normally ask at this point, as it’s a mentoring show, is there any mentors you’d like to shout out, a particular one that’s influenced your life and helped you along the way Rob? I’ve learned from John De Martini, over the years he has really helped me, he’s taught me about balanced forces, upsides and downsides. Secondly, my business partner, Mark, in many ways he’s a business partner and in many ways he’s a mentor, he taught me about managing my money properly and being more grounded and detailed and focussed. What do you say to our listeners, should they start a business or go to university Rob? I am very clear on this, it’s an easy answer. If you want to be a doctor, a dentist, a lawyer or a pilot, you should absolutely go and do the degree and the post-grad on that subject. If you want to be an entrepreneur, you want to run your own business, if you want to be your own boss, then I don’t think you need the best way to go. I think podcasts, doing courses, listening to your business mentor podcast, investing in courses, in education, getting mentors. Getting out there and doing it, making mistakes on the job. So, you’ve taken it into Property Business, which you’ve done really well, you’ve got over 800 properties. You then quit that journey to then write books, and then set up a training business. How did that come about, Rob? Some people say, “When you’re digging for gold, some people are digging for gold and other are selling the shovels.” I like to dig for gold, and sell the shovels. If I have dug for gold, and found some gold in property, I have done alright for myself. I can also grow my brand, my business and my profits by writing books, doing podcasts and running courses, I dig for the gold and I sell the shovels. Once you’ve learnt something you want to teach it. We are hardwired to pass on our knowledge. For start-ups now, an entrepreneur coming in, is there a bit of advice you could give them, Rob? It’s equal first on biggest mistakes. One bad thing to do is to listen to conventional wisdom and common sense because conventional wisdom will give you conventional results and most common sense isn’t common and it isn’t sense. So the world will tell you, learn from your mistakes. I think it’s better to learn from someone else’s mistakes. It’s cheaper! It’s also less of an emotional rollercoaster. So Rob, if there were two books that you’d recommend apart from your own to somebody to read, which two books would they be? I get asked this question a lot. Books are like time stamps on your life and they can have different importance at different stages of your life. I’d say Arnold Schwarzenegger’s autobiography Total Recall. What I love with what Arnold’s done is that he’s self made, not that I have anything against people who’ve inherited wealth and made it because that's just as hard by the way. I like that he’s self made and in different disciplines. Apart from your career as an entrepreneur, are there any skills that you’d recommend people to do? Leverage. Because nobody, especially me, is good at everything. In fact, the better you are at one thing, the worse you’ll be at everything else. If you think of a genius you know, they’re probably so focussed on being good at that, they’re probably not that good at other things. The people who grow amazing careers in business, sport, whatever, they focus on what they’re great at and they leverage everything else. If you watch any sports people, and you think, “Well they’re not leveraging, so they do it themselves.” Tiger Woods had about four golf coaches, he’d have a putting coach, a chipping coach, an iron coach, a psychology coach, a fitness coach, dozens of coaches. He’s leveraging. BEST MOMENTS Tell me what mentoring means to you, Rob? How it’s helped you? Number one is; if you’re struggling to go to the next level, you’re trying to solve going to the next level, where you’ve never been before. There’s no proof, you don’t know how to do it. Someone has already been there, done it and solved it. Number two is that they’ve got a fresh and different approach. Number three is accountability. When you give something away to charity you forget about it and the goodness comes back to you. What would you like to be remembered for, Rob? OK so I’d just like to be remembered that I got in peoples’ face, interrupted the habits in their life that they weren’t happy with and I helped them create a better life. I went to Property networking event and I’ve met my business partner Mark Homer. Mark got me a job with his boss in a property company, totally responsible we were sorting out the sourcing properties. We went out viewing thirty properties a week, we were flying around the world doing deals from developers, we saw the good, the bad, the ugly, we saw it all. It was such a great education, also as it turns out my business partner had some money. He never told me and we started buying properties with his money and our families money. We got from 0 to 20 properties in 2006, then 20 to 50 in 2007 and then 50 to about a 100 in 2008. In 2008 I wrote my first book, “Property Investing Secrets”, that opened another world of property training books, podcasts and everything else. I’ve spend twenty-five years wanting to be a millionaire and doing absolutely nothing about it. Then twenty- six to thirty-one, just after five years I became a millionaire and yeah, it’s been a crazy ride. What would you say was your biggest mistake, Rob? One of my biggest mistakes was not taking opportunities earlier enough when they arose, so I had probably seven years’ worth of chance to get into property, from eighteen to twenty-five. own. You can’t regret the past, if you see it like that then you’re never going to be move forward. But if I’m going to be honest, I’ve had a lot of opportunities in my life. The breakages are part of what you fix. I can’t see them as mistakes, I can only see them as lessons.

Fredrik, Charlie and Ivan Sandvall interview Jay Dhillon, serial entrepreneur and business owner with over 18 years experience who works with The Prince’s Trust and helps younger people get into business. Jay started in recruitment, taking a fledgling company from 0-500 staff, doing around £35,000,000 in sales before being selling to an investment firm. Now he invests in property and has an online recruitment business called www.recruitmentboss.com which helps people advertise jobs online. KEY TAKEAWAYS Prince’s Trust is a UK Organisational Charity which has been running for around 50 years, set up by Prince Charles to help young people get into business or find work. Prince’s Trust runs mentorship programmes to help you people realise their business plans. Take advantage of E-Mentoring! What are your top tips for people looking for a job Jay? Make sure your CV is up to date, professionally laid out. This is why investing in yourself is so important, if you can’t do it then pay somebody on Fiverr or another website, $25-50 to get your CV formatted correctly. Also, learn how to interview. This might sound crazy, but the amount of people who I’ve interviewed who haven’t researched the company is crazy. Always quantify yourself, give evidence and show proof, i.e. your figures. Take a written reference too! What should an employer look for when recruiting Jay? High level attitude! I would take someone on who isn’t as good but is willing to stay until 6:30pm and make that extra phone call. When you advertise, make sure you get the right job description. Don’t advertise for peanuts either, look at the value this vacancy will bring to your business. Have you got any good routines in your life Jay? I get up at 5am, do half an hour on my bike or treadmill, then I’ll spend 20 minutes reading a book. I keep a notepad and when I’ve read 3-4 chapters I summarise my book. I do that then set my goals, spend time with my children and drop them off at school, then go to the office. Selling: Get past that first call, once you get past it and you keep doing it and doing it, you get better at anything, so do the best you can and have discipline. BEST MOMENTS Jay, what does Invest In You mean to yourself? I think it’s very important and very underrated. For me it means always improving yourself. I invest in books, education, mentors… This year I’ve invested in my podcast, networking and I’m constantly reading! Spending money is really important if you’ve got it because it really commits you to your programme. Tell us about your property business Jay? My property business started in 2007, with the profits from the recruitment I was buying single lets. Then I moved on to investing in HMOs in 2013. I used to place a lot of my contractors who worked for my agency in there and when they left I went to the professional market. My next venture will be commercial. My goal now is to buy blocks of apartments. I went to university and graduated with a degree in Business Studies, but new nothing about business, it was more about computers! Nothing about cash-flow, profit and loss. After working at a corporate company for two years I realised the whole system took you away from actually selling and making money. Put yourself out there and the opportunities will come. Do everything to the best of your ability, set yourself up routines and always ask questions. Jay, what’s the coolest office you’ve had so far? The best office I had was on Singapore Airlines. I’d never flown business class before. They give you a pen and paper, ask you if you’d like a drink. Working on that airline was my best location if that makes sense. Also, we had a hide in Mauritius for two weeks, top floor hotel apartment and on the balcony was a little desk. When you were working you could hear the waves. Jay on independent and personal growth: The top two tips I would give would be invest in sales and learn how to sell. Always ask the question! Re-negotiate your mobile phone bills, anything you’ve got, ask the question! If you can’t sell, get on the phone and ring your phone supplier and say look, I’ve been with you five years, can you negotiate on my contract? That’ll get you in the mind-set to sell, because that’s a soft sell. Do as much research as you can before setting your business up. Don’t go into it because it sounds good.
