Here are some of the questions that I asked Mike. How do people stay focused on that one idea that is going to get their business rolling? How do people stay focused on that one task that is going to get them to the next level? I know you are big believer in taking action before strategy? How do you think big data affects scaling a start-up business? Do you think it is important to create a clearly defined target market or can you go wide? Why are you a maverick?

Sales and success secrets to scale up your start-up. In this live interview at "The Arts Club" Dover Street Mike shares many sales and success secrets to get you rolling! Mike received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) with recognition from Her Majesty The Queen for his contribution to the UK digital economy. Personal branding was synonymous with success! In his business life Mike was CEO of Telecity, a company he helped successfully from a market cap of 6 Million to well over 3 Billion. Q: How do people stay focused on that one idea that is going to get their business rolling? Appreciating that failure is one step closer to success and working on learning about your sales metrics is key to avoid disappointment! Mike went through sales training with Brian Adam’s cousin Ian, he explained to him:- “Imagine you are a broom salesman and you go to 100 houses, 99 houses don’t want one. Statistically one in a hundred wants to buy from you so you should rejoice it when people turn you down.” I will Succeed or I am going to learn! Seeing the direct path to success. In life, there are not that many lessons to learn, selling yourself and building trust is what it is all about. When thinking about your career, focusing on a specific skill-set is key as opposed to a specific role. Mike mentioned his daughter wants to be an artist, and how he explained this to her: focus on your skill-set and not the career, being an artist is very narrow, but focusing on being artistic will help you to use your skill-set and open your opportunity portfolio. “Communicate well, you must engage with people, sell confidence, people will trust you and will buy whatever you are telling them to buy. But it does break quicker than it is made, if you sell someone something they don’t need! People have confidence in you and will buy from you.” Q: How do people stay focused on that one task that is going to get them to the next level? Rate of change is getting faster; having the single objective isn’t the most important thing. Every day we should wake up with the question, what can I do today to move me forwards towards my goal? Perhaps having the single task isn’t the way forward but an objective that you are aiming towards every day. Focus on: Tenacity, resilience, stamina, take the knocks and engage with people. People always say getting funding for small business is tough but Mike doesn’t agree. Mike mentions how he walks past a key cutter who sell umbrellas become £10, in the sun they are £1.50 and banks are just the same. It is a good idea to go to the bank before you need money, if you go to the bank and tell them what you do instead of going to ask them, you should engage with them when you don’t need to, this will knock of some of your interest charges and help you to grow. It is a bit like girls and waiting for them to come to you. He mentions about where technology is going and how you will be able to use Blippar for dating with their facial recognition software and how they are planning on putting Augmented reality on contact lenses and AI and how this could be used for dating with facial recognition software. You will also be able to change the colour of your eyes, but you will have self defence mechanisms. Once tech is invented you can’t turn back the clock and uninvent it. People Google you before they meet you, people Google you and we discussed people search for you. We also discussed some tips for Tinder and the other amazing technology that is coming along for dating apps and the antidote. I mentioned how much time it took to look for a date on Tinder and how I heard of a new strategy of creating catch of the day on your Tinder picture. Q: I know you are big believer in taking action before strategy? From his book “Forget Strategy Get Results” the title is slightly tongue in cheek, strategy is less important than taking action. No one writes 5/10-year business plans anymore and how writing strategy is not important but taking ...

Personal branding Mike received an OBE (Order of the British Empire) with recognition from Her Majesty The Queen for his contribution to the UK digital economy. Personal branding was synonymous with success! In his business life Mike was CEO of Telecity, a company he helped successfully from a market cap of 6 Million to well over 3 Billion. Growing the company was quite a journey, with several acquisitions along the way. Mike tells me about his personal brand and how it helped him along the way and how it is more longer lived than a business brand. He now spreads his time between 14 different non executive roles in South Africa, USA, Moscow, Hong Kong, Spain,Belgium, Amsterdam and his homeland the United Kingdom. Mike also enjoys charity work and is passionate about the education and empowerment of children in particular. He ran 40 Marathons in 40 days for the Prince’s trust 4oth anniversary. He also sleeps in the street once a year to support action for children, an initiative to get children off the streets. When he was a CEO he wrote a book called “Forget Strategy Get Results” as a public company CEO the shareholders loved the book of course! He has his second book coming along in the next few months. Mike Shares His Personal Branding Strategies In terms of personal branding helping him in his career, it was incredible for him personally and synonymous with the businesses success. He had a caricature of himself on a business card and through an app called Blippar his character would pop up and start talking to you through your phone. It had an image of him with his shirt open three buttons down, he still wears the same necklace today. Another one of his business cards had Mike on it and if you needed any more information he probably didn’t want to speak to you anyway! When presenting the results for the company people would ask if his shirt buttons were done up or open and not even attend the briefing. He would leave the three buttons undone if the results were good and only one was open if they were not as good. Personal Branding is All About Personality We agreed personal branding is about personality and how that plays into the businesses he is involved with is crucial. You are always selling yourself first, personal branding is so important because you can be selling anything or doing anything at work and you are still always selling yourself; it is about building confidence and trust and creating the sense of trust between you and someone else. When Mike learnt how to sell the gentleman that taught him explained that every unsuccessful attempt only gets you one step closer to success. When you are a vacuum cleaner salesperson statistically you know that not all the houses in the street will buy, and the likelihood of success is low. When you knock on that door you should be happy as you are one step closer to selling the vacuum cleaner. If you get on a bicycle you will fall off, if you gave up the first time you tried you would never manage it and if you bought all the books in the world to help you to ride a bicycle you would still fall off when you first got on! Failure is almost part of success and you should embrace it as it is part of the journey. Finding Work/Life Balance Mike’s new book is called “Live, Love, Work,Prosper” we agreed the work life balance doesn’t exist, it is difficult to achieve harmony. Nelson Mandella is a great inspiration to Mike but his home life was a disaster and trying to be focused on your career and having a home life and a business life you need to integrate them somehow otherwise one element suffers. Mike puts his mobile on the table every time he goes to dinner and some people think this is rude, but he has businesses in every timezone in the world and if his phone is on the table at least he can see it when it rings. He thinks this is better than putting the phone in the briefcase as it wastes brain cycles th...

Marcus du Sautoy doceert wiskunde in Oxford én is bovendien hoogleraar Wetenschaps-popularisatie – een positie die hij erfde van zijn voorganger en opper-atheïst Richard Dawkins. Hij smijt zich enthousiast in het publieke debat over wetenschap, maakte reeksen voor BBC, werd geëerd met een OBE (Order of the British Empire) en schreef een wiskundig theaterstuk. – du Sautoy stelt zich constant vragen over onszelf en de wereld; én over wat we (niet) kunnen weten. Die eerste Kant-vraag is voor hem een levenshouding, die bepaalt hoe hij naar de werkelijkheid kijkt.

In this episode I interview Lee Coates, founder of financial planning firm Ethical Investors in the UK and superannuation (pension) fund Cruelty Free Super in Australia. Lee has run Ethical Investors since 1989 and established the first vegan investment funds in the UK three years later in 1992, pioneering the concept that animal welfare issues were as important as human rights and the environment. Following on from the success of the funds in the UK, he launched vegan pension fund Cruelty Free Super in Australia in 2010. The fund has high ethical standards in regards to people, animals and planet when it comes to what it will and won't invest in. Popular particularly with young women, the fund was initially dismissed by financial professionals in Australia, who didn't believe that a superannuation fund focusing on animal welfare issues, and only using social media to market itself, would raise $1000, let alone the $28 million it's brought in so far and so quickly. An ethical financial planner of 28 years, and one of the top 150 qualified financial planners out of 30,000 in the UK, Lee was awarded an OBE (Order of the British Empire) in 2011 for his services to ethical business and finance. The self-described ‘Mr Establishment' enjoys drumming to relax – a throwback to his earlier years of playing drums in various bands – and blogs at Cruelty Free Money on global ethical finance issues. In this interview Lee discusses: • The blindspot many vegan business owners have when it comes to investing the profits from their operations • The biggest mistakes vegan business owners make when seeking investment capital (and what to do instead) • The importance of having a diverse investment portfolio • How vegan investment funds' performance compares with non-vegan ones • Why Cruelty Free Super's fees are higher than non-vegan funds • How being ‘Mr Establishment' has allowed him to influence the financial industry • What to take into account if you're considering opening a business in another country • And much more Visit the Ethical Investors website Visit the Cruelty Free Super website Check out the Cruelty Free Money blog Brands mentioned in vegan business news roundup: Vaute Couture Holster Skull and Cakebones RESOURCES: My Online PR Course for Vegan Business Owners & Entrepreneurs: Vegans in the Limelight My book Vegan Ventures: Start and Grow an Ethical Business Follow Vegan Business Media on: Facebook   Twitter  Instagram  Connect with me personally at: Facebook  Twitter  LinkedIn
