In 2021, James Ashford sold his company, GoProposal, for an 8-figure exit to a FTSE 100 company.

How do you build a business that gives you everything you want? A business that runs without you. One that operates to the highest standards. And one that could eventually be worth tens of millions of pounds. That's the question I spent years trying to answer. After failure after failure, I eventually built and sold a successful business. But I certainly don't have all the answers. And that's exactly why I've started Grow Fast, Exit Big. Every Tuesday, I'll be sitting down with successful entrepreneurs, business leaders and top performers to have honest, in-depth conversations about what it really takes to build, scale and eventually exit a successful business. We'll explore the mistakes, the challenges, the strategies and the lessons that actually make a difference. No bullsh*t soundbites. No surface-level advice. Just real conversations, difficult questions and practical insights you can take away and apply to your own life and business. Whether you're just starting out, scaling towards your next milestone or planning your eventual exit, this podcast is for you. 🎙️ New episodes every Tuesday. Subscribe now and join us on the journey. Let's get to work. James Ashford #GrowFastExitBig #JamesAshford #Entrepreneurship
