The ideas, thoughts and opinions of this blog are intended to inform, challenge, share and generally bring some value to the reader.
I am often asked about my success and how I was able to go from a 16 year old school drop out, to owning a company that last year generated $140 million in revenues. I try to share some of my experiences, some of my thoughts and ideas ... but they are based on my journey, and you need to be able to apply the concepts to your journey. Your journey will never be exactly like mine.
I sometimes write about personal development with ideas for people to explore, if they so desire ... but that is entirely within the control of the individual. I don't presume to know you or what you want from your life ... I share my thoughts to help, not judge or dictate.
I have often been approached by people I know who think a blog entry was about them. It isn't! I don't write any blog entry directed at an individual, although experiences I have along the way will generate the thought for the blog entry. I write them based on my 40 plus (ouch) years of work experience.
It took me a long time to realize that most of my barriers were within myself ... that once I believed I could succeed, I began to have success. Once I was able to "do what it takes" rather than allow barriers to stop me, then I was on my journey. If you have not yet truly reached that point then you may be reading this blog and thinking things like I can't do that; or he must be lucky or have rich friends or brilliant; etc.
I am definitely not brilliant, my background was very modest; I started my working life in the Royal Navy at the very lowest rank that exists and was never an officer. Every entrepreneur needs some element of luck ... but like Jefferson (or Goldwyn) said "The harder I work the luckier I get"!
The keys to Kevin's success ... hard work, time management, attitude, energy and a willingness to be constantly learning.
I took a shine to this poster, and I'm sure every entrepreneur can relate!
