Success takes YEARS and it’s never a straight line. For me it took a decade to get to where I am, and it still feels like a project in the works. People over estimate what they can get done in 1 year and underestimate what they can get done in 10, so don’t give up, keep building and keep picking yourself up from any set backs. This was my story of the compressed path to building a £60M business. #business #founder #ceo #entrepreneur #startup

I'm on route to hit over £60M in my business this year Here's everything that happened before I even got here ebay TOP RATED SELLER ★★★★★ I started selling when I was 13 I launched a personalised giftware website for fun.

Nothing was ever the same. I regained my spark after getting hired at a different company, climbing to a senior position in a few weeks. EXCEPT. I realised it was NOT what I wanted to do for the rest of my life.

Get ready for 100s of hurdles, sleepless nights and no idea when your effort start to return But despite that, it is the most exhilarating, rewarding and surprising journey you will ever undertake. Be ready for it!
