Wildly Successful Entrepreneur (selling Kiddicare for an impressive £70 Million), Mentor, Author & Public Speaker, Neville Wright joins Kurt and Di in this hilarious episode of Back 2 Business.

Neville shares his story about how he went from being ‘unemployable’ to being self-employed and co-founding one of the UK’s largest children’s retailers Kiddicare, along with his wife Marilyn as well as creating multiple streams of income. Together, they discuss the perks of being self-employed, why you should always trust your gut and the benefits of being mentored.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

When you go self-employed you are able to do the work which you are trained for and are able to get other staff members to do the work which you cannot do. If you have a vision you are able to make it come true by having all the competencies that you need for that vision. The grit for success comes from your vision, hopes, dreams and determination.

Listen to your gut more and try not to listen to the opinions of others who are not experts within your niche. If somebody who has mastered the niche, gives you advice then take it as they may have made mistakes which they don’t want you to make too.

You have to speculate, to accumulate. When you speculate, you speculate with everything you have in your life. Start to review the way you treat people, what you do for people and the way you do business. Stand still, and look around. What is there around you that could be a potential business opportunity?

With the right attitude you can achieve anything. You may have challenges but you can achieve greatness when you put your mind to it.

Do not let other people brainwash you. Brainwash yourself with the thoughts, goals and aspirations that you want and have.

BEST MOMENTS

“I was competing against me, to tell me that I wasn’t a stupid person.”

“ I should have listened to my gut feeling a lot more.”

“Stand still and look around you.”

“This is the only job I have got today, So I might as well make it the best job I have got today.”
