| Jay Dhillon & Mark Homer Talk Business Strategies, Foreign Property Investment & Jeremy Corbyn! | 15 Mar 2019 | 01:09:33 | |
What drives you to keep going in property? One of the fascinating questions that serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist Jay Dhillon poses to Mark for The Business Mentor Podcast. They talk about Mark's childhood in Singapore, how he got into property and the rights and wrongs of politics and property in 2019. Listen here for a conversation on learning from two experts in property, and business.
Key Takeaways What are you doing at the moment? I’ve got three projects on the go at the moment. Our biggest project is just under 100 flats. I’ve got another project, with a commercial tenant on the ground floor with some residencies above. I’m doing lots of different things, with various different projects.
How was your childhood? I was born in Singapore and came back to England when I was around 12. I went to an international school in Jakarta in Indonesia. Jakarta is a crazy city, pollution, and people everywhere. I learnt the local dialect and played outside with the other kids in the area. I’ve found that to be a really useful experience in dealing with very different types of people.
Private schools give you a bigger network and a bigger outcome. The difference between the mindset of the private school, and the local college in the area is massive. The people I met at college are all doing more vocational things like dentists, doctors, and solicitors. Whereas the private school went more into business, and are earning lots of money. There is no right and wrong, but if you have the opportunity to invest in your children you can.
The academics are really useful. If my child wants to go to university, I’ll encourage them to but at the expense of life skills, I think that’s wrong. I think if you can have academic skills, and have business skills, rather than just what a textbook says then that’s even better.
In 1997/98 it was like the gold rush, and the market was ripe. My father had worked across the globe and met a lot of business people. He knew that business and property was a good route to go down. My friend had made over £70,000 on property and even without planning permission added an extension. I got really into property books, videos, learning loads. I met a local letting agent who'd figured out which properties were good to buy in Peterborough, which is where I started really.
I’d bought lots of properties abroad especially in Eastern Europe and Florida. So I thought that when they would enter into the EU there would be an increase in the middle class and the property values would go up. What I didn’t realise was that I didn’t know the local knowledge. It’s really exciting to have international property, but the yields are really low, and the maintenance will be very high. Everything that you’ve learnt in the UK is wrong abroad, and you have to learn it all again. There is lots of corruption in various different places around the world, and it’s really difficult to work out the local rules if you’re not from there.
Treat your property as a business, so systemise it. The one guarantee in business is that it will change. If your systemising your business, doing monthly management accounts, and getting your viewings and inspections sorted then you are going to find it easier to adapt to the change. You’ll find it easier to grow your business because you are able to find out what is working and what isn’t.
Do you think the middle class now are being hammered, so you need to grow all the time? You need to grow otherwise you are in decline. If you carry on doing what you’re doing and not grow, then you will fail. We’ve had various changes in the legislation, and it will all happen again. Make sure you get a really good accountant, who’ll be able to save loads of money for your tax bill.
Let’s talk about Jeremy Corbyn if he did get into power what would happen? People were concerned about the Labour party before but Tony Blair turned out to be quite a light touch. He says he will introduce rent control, but hasn’t given out any specifics on that. Dependant on how that is introduced could be positive or negative. He says he is going to nationalise, water, and rail. With big companies, he says he will give 10% of the shareholders to the staff, but I don’t know how that is going to work in practice because they are so divested. I don’t think he will be a sustainable model. The debacle that is the EU is costing the country millions in decisions not taken, and uncertainty.
Which property/business strategies will work in 2019, and why? In business and property it’s best to find what you love and what you’re good at. If you’re good at marketing then build a business that needs that skill. Build a team around you who are good at the things that you are not good at. It’s better to do what you love rather than what’s hot in the media at the minute.
What drives you? What keeps you going? I like driving income, and rent roll, I like having a bigger and bigger wall of money to hit the back account every month. I find that very exciting, more than the value of the properties. I get a lot of pleasure in learning from others in the training business we have. We are able to have choices, travel and buy the right house that I want.
Where would you start in property now? I would buy single lets, under £140,000, probably stuff that has been built in the 1970’s. West Midlands, and in the North are probably best rather than in the South. Cut your teeth, and make some mistakes before moving to HMO’s. You don’t have to move up, just do what you enjoy.
What mentors have helped you? There have been loads of different people over the years. I have a lot of friendships who’ve done lots of different things, often in their 50’s and 60’s who have been there and done it all. I had more informal type mentors.

ABOUT THE HOST AND GUEST Jay Dhillon 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 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 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 success 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 business fail within the first five years and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.

| The Simplest Way to Make More Money | 01 Mar 2019 | 00:09:20 | |
Keep It Simple. In this fascinating episode, Jay explains the quickest way to make more money for anyone. He shares the techniques and processes he uses when working with entrepreneurial mentees, shaping and growing their businesses. Jay takes us through practical advice that can be implemented rapidly and will quickly lead to more income.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Record all the income streams you have, this may be one or multiple streams. What is generating income now? How can you generate more income from your current income stream. This is the quickest way to make more money.
If you are already making money from something then the quickest way is to double up. There will always be opportunities for innovation but it's important to never neglect the money-making part of the business.
If you have reached a ceiling with your current income stream, don’t want to work in it or grow it further then you should systemise it. Entrepreneurs, by their nature, like new ideas so the danger is that you pursue this and neglect the income stream that is making you money. Systemising your business can help to ensure that the money-making income streams run smoothly.
If your motivation is to make money very quickly so you can build your business around it, then use a proven formula. Something that has been done before, something that has positive results, an industry that is making money. Get the education, get the mentors, get the mastermind and be part of something that will give you the information you need to make it a success. Once you have created more cash flow you will have more freedom to innovate and develop new ideas
BEST MOMENTS ‘Go into an industry where you know you can make money’ ‘If you don’t look after it the income stream that is making you money will dry up’ ‘You may see a new and shiny idea and think it's going to make you lots of money’ ‘You’ve already got the systems in place’ ‘Look at what you’ve got initially then move forward’ ‘You get bombarded by loads of videos telling you how to get rich in 30 days’ ‘You don’t need to overcomplicate it’ ‘Ultimately we want to do it for ourselves we want to be the first into the market, innovative and find something different’

| Celebrity A-List Cake Maker Paz Heer; Working With World Elite Stars, Such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, Floyd Mayweather to Name a Few.. | 22 Feb 2019 | 00:47:47 | |
This episode is a fantastic opportunity to find out about the journey of Paz Heer ‘ Cake Maker to the Stars’. Jay discusses with Paz the traits of entrepreneurs and how these have played a vital role in the success story of the ‘Cake Maker to the Stars’. Listen in to find out more. KEY TAKEAWAYS
I went through university studying marketing and retail but still didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do. Entrepreneurs were very much a part of our family. My mum broke down barriers in her work as the first lady Asian driving instructor in Midlands alongside her role as a social worker.
I didn’t know anything about baking and had to work my way up from the bottom. I worked with the previous owners and learnt from them. I started at the grassroots of baking, learnt all about that and then was able to begin learning about decoration. I have always been creative, so the decorating was an exciting prospect. I took the skills I learnt and then practised extensively. I had no other option other than to practice non-stop, it's not glamorous. As a business owner you’ve got realise that you are always learning. Lots of business owners fail to recognise this and it is damaging to their businesses.
You take on everything when you start, whether you can do it or not – it’s being a busy fool, you need to understand your skills and worth and develop the confidence to say no in some circumstances. Why do all those hours if you are going to end up with something the customer doesn’t want, there is no profit involved and you potentially damage your reputation.
If you have a product or service you must take a long-term view. With the reviews we have, as part of service, the market will call you out. Sometimes you may not be able to compete on price but can offer great service.
I had the opportunity to make a cake for Floyd Mayweather and the media coverage opened lots of new doors. Following the positive media, I networked to secure more work with high profile celebrities. This was important as I was aware the initial media interest in the Floyd cake was limited so I wanted to make sure I could continue the wave.
I am going to launch my own YouTube video series and brand aimed with the celebrity cakes as I want to see how far I can go with this and I am still very involved in the day to day aspects of the cake shop My passion is the designing of cakes where I’m given a brief and have the opportunity to be creative doing new things.
There is no short cut, I had to wash pots and work my way up You have to keep doing it over and over, don’t give up something will happen With patience and hard work, you will create the luck BEST MOMENTS ‘Let the dots connect themselves together’ ‘A true trait of an entrepreneur is about putting the work in’ ‘If you’re looking to buy a business find out if the current owners care’ ‘It’s all about the networking’ ‘It’s a piece of art, not just a cake’ ‘You're not just feeding someone with the cake it's about creating a celebration’ ‘You can create a visual and a special memory for lots of different celebrations’ ‘Grab everything, work out how to do it later’ ‘I’d rather have a happy customer’ ‘I’m talking big time, ‘A’ list celebrities’ ‘Everyone has their own personal journey’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/business-mentor-podcast/id1370793386?mt=2 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.

| TEDx Speaker Born With Brittle Bone Disease, an Inspiring Interview With Winston Clements | 08 Feb 2019 | 00:45:12 | |
“I’m in a unique position because I’m going to be more memorable and I use this to reach as many people as possible” In this episode, Jay interviews Winston Clements who shares his story of being memorable and his perspectives on how resilience and positivity should be a part of everyone’s lives. Listen in now to find out why. KEY TAKEAWAYS I started in corporate financial services within technology roles and then moved to consultancy work in software engineering. I initially began public speaking as a hobby but demand for my speaking work has increased and the majority of my time is now focused on sharing my story. I have a condition known as Brittle Bone. This means my bones break very easily, during my childhood I experienced more than 100 breaks in my bones, this is the nature of the condition but as I have grown older it has stabilized. I’ve always been open with people about my story and it inspired me to want to be a public speaker. You have a very strong mindset, where does that come from? I had physical challenges, but my parents brought me up to believe I was the same as anyone else. My sister and I have always been treated equally. So, at school, I expected to be the same as everyone else. Overprotecting me would have hindered my progression, I was able to get out there fall over a few times and learn to pick myself up which is the reality for everyone. I had my down days like everyone else, but I learnt to focus on my strengths. I’ve always found it easy to make connections, be present in the situation and so I concentrated on developing those and being happy. What challenges did you have gaining employment? In my mind, I thought getting a job would be very straightforward, but it took me 6 months to find my first graduate job. During this time, I looked at my mindset and I realised I needed more resilience as it's not just about having the talent but about keeping going even though I didn’t see results straight away. Where did you find resilience? Lots of my close friends got jobs within 1 or 2 months and I started to question how it was possible for them not me. I then realised I needed to look closely at myself and stop playing the victim, blaming it on being different. So, I decided to take ownership of it and instead of applying for 6 or 7 jobs a week I doubled my efforts over everything. Have you had any mentors? I’ve had several mentorship experiences and some that have been life changing. One of my mentors helped me to understand my mission and purpose – that my disability, is my gift, it is about a bigger picture and supporting others. Mentors – it’s all about finding the right fit someone who has experience of where you want to be and someone who you have a rapport with. How do you deal with the down days? I’m a human being and being resilient is a spectrum. Like everybody else, there are days where I feel more or less resilient than on other days. I surround myself with people who are honest with me, pull me up and aren’t afraid to tell me how it is and expect accountability from me. What are you doing at the moment? I still do some consultancy work but am hoping to move across to speaking full time and sharing my message as much as possible through courses and workshops. The thing that has enabled me is that it is my passion, I just want to give value and help people. When you put value first and concentrate being the best at what you do everything else just falls into place. BEST MOMENTS ‘They just wanted me to have as normal an experience as possible’ ‘The easy route is usually not the best route’ ‘The comfort zone is to stay in the victim mentality, at that moment you don’t have to try’ ‘If you take action you can change things for yourself’ ‘Failure happens the day you stop trying and anything in between is feedback’ ‘Whatever you have you need to turn it into a positive’ ‘When an individual messages me to let me know I’ve made an impact on them’ VALUABLE RESOURCES https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/business-mentor-podcast/id1370793386?mt=2 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.

He shares his top tips on how you can build up resilience, as well as the importance of living in the moment and having fun. Winston Ben Clements was born with a condition known as Brittle Bones disease, medical term Osteogenesis Imperfecta. An obvious characteristic is his small stature and his use of a wheelchair, which does not tell the story of the frequent and painful bone fractures that disrupted much of his childhood. Nonetheless, Winston successfully graduated with a degree in Computer Science and built up a successful corporate career in the Technology sector. He is passionate about Speaking and his mission is to create a world where nobody feels limited in what they can achieve. CONTACT METHOD GUEST https://www.facebook.com/WinstonSpeaker/ | |||

Building a positive, honest relationship with the client based on trust is key to ensure that if there are issues they can be quickly resolved. To build relationships it’s important to get in front of the client as much as possible during a job. Ensure that you are in regular contact and offer lots of information, these actions show that you care. Tell your story – people love a story and it helps to make you stand out from your competitors. Be realistic about timescales and make sure you can deliver as agreed. Late delivery breaks the trust you have with the client. If there is an unavoidable delay be honest and immediately contact the customer so that they are well informed about any situation.
Identify what a competitor is not doing or taking out to achieve a lower price. Make the client aware and be very clear about the service you are offering and the advantages you provide.
You must justify why they should pay that price rather than the competitor’s price.
It’s a downward spiral if you do keep reducing your price. You will ultimately reduce the value in your product and won’t be able to deliver the service required resulting in loss of the client.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Makes it real because they know who you are’ ‘Show that you care’ ‘Little things do make a big impact’ ‘If you have an honest relationship it helps you to get better’ ‘Need to work with clients who value your product and services’ ‘You had 100% fulfillment can you come back in’ ‘Everything in business is built on being competitive, that’s what keeps it healthy’ ‘If it was easy you wouldn’t be innovating’

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 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look (to name a few). Its huge 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 success 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.

After begging his mum for a magic set for Christmas, Luca was soon hooked on the magic pill and, little did his parents know at the time, they’d sparked a lifelong passion. Getting his hands on every magic book and trick he could, Luca soon began to build up an impeccable sleight-of-hand skillset at a very early age. After two years of performing at private parties and weddings whilst at school and sixth form, Luca took the leap of fate into pursuing his dreams. With the help of the Prince’s Trust – the same organisation who helped Dynamo start – Luca launched his business as a magician aged just 18. His work ethic, talent and instantly likeable persona helped him quickly establish himself as one of the hottest properties in the industry. With his magic already taking him around the world, Luca was headhunted to audition for Britain’s Got Talent 2015. He took his close-up act to the Birmingham Hippodrome, where he received an ovation from the 2,000 strong crowd and four yes votes from the celebrity judges, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams. Since his success on the show, Luca’s career has roared from strength-to-strength and now he regularly performs for celebrities and top end corporate clients, being their trusted magician of choice. | |||

| Five-Step Method To Goal Setting | 09 Nov 2018 | 00:09:54 | |
Goal setting is fundamental to achieving success and should be a priority for all everyone. If you don't know where you're going and you don't have goals to achieve then you'll end up going nowhere.

Jay also discusses the mindset around achieving your goals and why you too can become a success in business, if you take action, get a mentor and visualise.

| 10 Lessons Learnt From Selling a 7-Figure Business | 25 Oct 2018 | 00:16:46 | |
Welcome back to another episode of the Business Mentor Podcast. Today, your host Jay Dhillon discusses 10 lessons he has learnt from selling his first 7-figure business. Five years ago Jay sold his multi-million-pound business with over 500 staff and offices in three locations and today he brings you lessons he learnt along the way. If you’re looking to start, grow or scale your own business these tips will help to guide you along the way. Discover the essential things you need to know to create a sustainable and cashflowing business and get clarity on what you’re looking to achieve and how to maximise your potential. KEY TAKEAWAYS 10 Lessons From Selling My First 7-Figure Business
BEST MOMENTS "To have a sustainable business you will need to have a personal mentor or mastermind group" "My Mentor sat me down every month and kept me on track and working towards my goals" "Focus on your staff just as much as your clients. Treat them well because they are crucial in providing your service and growing your business" "If you're not growing your business because you're bored. Your competition will win" "Make sure you're always excited about your business so you can drive its growth" “Having cash reserves really helped during the recession period” “Start small, be patient and the doors will open” “Get back on that sales funnel and keep selling” 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 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few. Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest and at the age 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 success 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.

ABOUT THE GUEST (PAUL LOWE) Something that’s never been attached to Paul is the label ‘normal’ – for which he is immensely proud. He definitely subscribes to being one of those mentioned – in the Steve Jobs quote: “Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Paul Lowe is ‘The Third Sector Mentor’ and makes a difference by helping you make a difference. He is totally committed to his HEARTS brand vision (an acronym) of: ‘Helping Everyone Achieve Results Towards Success’. Paul has a long and distinguished track record of raising significant funds for a multitude of good causes; positively changing the lives of many disadvantaged children within the UK and globally – drawing on his colourful and wide-ranging life’s experiences to help others do the same and achieve success in The Game Of Life. “Remember – Mastering Life Starts, By Embracing Our HEARTS!” CONTACT METHOD Paul Lowe

| Richard Fuller The Battery Man - What Has 40 Years Of Running A Company Taught Him? | 02 Aug 2018 | 00:36:16 | |
On today’s episode of The Business Mentor Podcast, Jay talks to Richard Fuller, the Managing Director of County Battery Services Ltd. Jay and Richard discuss investing in sales, expanding the business, being flexible on changes, having a mentor, valuing your staff, and so much more. Richard’s business started in 1974. It was his father’s back then. At the early age of ten, he was already learning the ins and out of their business. Like any other kid, Richard wasn’t fervent with the idea of working with his dad selling batteries, tires, etc. But fate has a mind of its own. At the age of 23, he was left leading the business when his father died that year. Richard was able to expand their business for over 4 decades. It’s bigger than ever and now has three branches. Richard tells Jay that it wasn’t very easy at first. He faced ups and downs in his personal and career life just like any of us. He experienced having his focus shifted, not having enough cash flow to sustain his family’s everyday life, and not sharing his ideas to grow. There’s more to know about Richard’s journey in which we could learn from so make sure to tune in! KEY TAKEAWAYS
