Jeff Bezos, Kerry Katona and a Prince….
Or to put it another way, this is a recording of a webinar that I delivered for the Yorkshire Mafia, OneYorkshire Festival in February and March 2021.
The webinar walked through my business journey from a ‘Kitchen table, zero investment start up to a multi-million pound sale to a PLC in 18 years‘. Whilst the webinar could have covered many different areas though the growth of the business and eventual sale of the business, I covered the 7 key stages of the business journey.
The talk covered, amongst other topics;
- The failed angel investment pitch that led to the accidental launch of the business
- The first ‘big scary step’ taking on an office and staff
- 80% of the business disappearing overnight
- The company BHAG
- Google Panda and Penguin and their effect on the business
- An aborted sale and Plan B
- Being told to ‘keep my nose out’ of my own business!
- How the sale of the business came about
And yes Jeff Bezos, Kerry Katona and a Prince feature. And yes that is me! Please give it watch below;
