KEY TAKEAWAYS If someone does not have the drive to do something or if his or her heart is not in that something that you want him or her to do, you can push them to do that thing but they are not going to do it. He or she has to have the heart of the talent in that particular thing for him or her to do it perfectly. If you want any person to succeed in life, then what you have to do is listen to them and hear what they love and later on support them in that thing that they love to do, be it sports, business or any other thing. Encourage people to do what they love more than what they are told. Dream big. Always have those dreams of success and always work towards achieving your dreams and you may never know, you might achieve your dreams in no time. Do not let any obstacles come your way and make you lose focus on your dreams. If you can keep 95% of the people coming in your doors happy, you've succeeded, it's impossible to do 100% and you can do that with the price, with the quality of the equipment and the product that you are offering to your customers. Always focus on making at least 95% of your customers happy and you will always succeed. For you to thrive well in the business world, you got to be confident in what you're doing and confident in the product you're delivering to your customers. Believe in your business, your product and you and the rest will fall into place. Be prepared to learn if you want to venture into the business world and succeed. Take every little advice that you get from those who have a successful business and always maximize on that little advice. You also need to invest little money in developing yourself like paying for a business course. In the business world, you have to accept both failures and successes. Learn from your failures so that you can do better next time. Difference between entrepreneurship and corporation. Corporate companies scared of an entrepreneur making mistakes and doing his own thing which is not true. A good entrepreneur does the opposite because otherwise, you can't grow. If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate. An entrepreneur can be agile, making decisions happen quickly and then in these massive corporates, everything just takes forever. You've got to be competitive for you to succeed in the business world. Always look at what your competitor is doing or producing and then make your product a better one than his or hers. Have that competitive spirit with a healthy friendship between you. Market your product or services to the public if you want to have success in your business. Make what you are doing known to everyone. If you have to hire a salesperson in your company for your success, then go ahead and do it. You should learn to become your independent financial advisor and learn to manage your own money and invest your own money because no one's going to manage it or invest your own money as well as you. BEST MOMENTS “Give people all the opportunities and encourage them along, but do not make them feel like nobody for them to succeed in life.” “Your business can only be successful if your people working for you are part of it.” “You've got to try and cut out in any business the things that can damage you or least lessen them.” “An entrepreneur can grow a business very quickly, but in a different way to a corporate body.” “If you can get most of your staff wanting to work for you, making them part and parcel of the family, then an entrepreneur can grow quicker than a corporate.” “Competition forces innovation.” “Sportspeople should start businesses when they're still playing, but not when they're forgotten.” “Don't overestimate your income, and don't underestimate your costs.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST David Alan Lloyd was born on 3rd January 1948 and is a former professional English tennis player and entrepreneur.
