Tell us about your childhood and where you grew up

I grew up in a small town called Bedford, which is 50 miles from London. I’m the youngest of 3 children, I wasn’t a very smart kid at school and I was told that I’d never amount to anything by my teachers.

How did you get started as an entrepreneur?

I was always into fast cars being a boy. I was 8 years old I remember a neighbor’s friend came around with a Porsche. When I was growing up we never would see such cars so to me it was a big thing. Anyway, the driver of the Porsche spoke to my dad and my dad told him that I really admired his car. The neighbor then tells my dad that he would take me for a drive the next day in his Porsche. I was super excited jumping up and down and screaming with excitement. The next day came and it was a Sunday. I waited all day and sat by the window looking out, so I could watch him as he pulled into my street. I sat there from early morning until around 10 pm. And he didn’t show up. I had tears running down my eyes and I was heartbroken. Right there I vowed and I made a promise to myself that when I’m older I’m going to be wealthy and I was going to buy my own Porsche. I knew that it was a lack of money that was causing me so much pain and I never wanted to experience that pain again. My parents both worked very hard jobs, there was no one in my family that ever had a business or was wealthy. I made the decision that I was going to find a way. Right then I found myself obsessed with creating wealth. I was blown away by successful people and I wanted to know what they were doing to create huge levels of success. That’s when my journey started. From the age of 13 I began buying and selling anything I could, I found a wholesaler who sold some fancy cigarette lighters with fancy designs and I began selling them to the kids who smoked at school. I’d buy them for $1 and sell them for $3. From there on I began looking for different products and I quickly developed a bit of a reputation as an entrepreneur. I was 19 when I started my first company which was a carpet cleaning company and I’d make more money in one week than my friends were making in a whole month. I was creating so much success at the time, I ended up buying my first Porsche 911 at the age of 23. I kept my promise to myself and I made it happen.
