One For The History Books (Highs & Lows of 2020)
The year 2020 has been one for the history books and there has been highs and lows for everybody. Today, we take a look back on the highlights of The Business Mentor Podcast where we’ve had some amazing guests such as Grant Cardone and David McCourt. From pandemic predictions to inspiring guidance this episode contains it all from some of the best business brains around the world.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Coronavirus isn’t going away. If you were to put scientists and entrepreneurs in the same room, things get solved. People once said that ‘cash is trash’ however nobody is saying that now since having cash is vital. There has never been a more important time to learn how to negotiate and sell that today, if you know how to negotiate and sell and you can’t leave your house, then you can pick up your phone and make some sales.
- You are either creating or destroying your empire with every single decision you make. Set yourself up for the other side of this pandemic, it will make your enemies hate you even more because you will be successful. This year has been a big eye-opener to see who has been there and who hasn’t.
- If you hang around with idiots, you’ve got a high chance of being an idiot. If you hang around successful people, you have a high chance of being successful. Face your fears and make fear your friend, break fear down and eventually you will see that what you feared is not so scary.
- Look at the steps you need to take to be a better leader, and apply them to your life. Somebody could take away all your possessions, but they can never take away the value you bring and the hours of training that you have given yourself.
BEST MOMENTS
“Everybody should have a mentor.”
“The more that you can trust each other within your roles, the less likely you are going to be to stop trying to vie for positions.”
“That’s when I burned my bridges and said ‘I have got to be responsible.”
“I am going to be stronger than ever when this is over.”
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. 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.
A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.
After helping several young entrepreneurs to succeed as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.
Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.
In the UK alone 95% of businesses fail within the first five years and Jay aims to reduce that number.
Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.
