PREFACE

I have written this book to share with you what has worked for us in the past and is still working for us today. I also want to introduce you to some of the new technologies which I use and which can also make a big difference to your business, making it possible for you to work smarter.

There is an old saying
The fortune is in the follow up

Whatever business you are in, if you dont look after your customers somebody else will.

If you dont have any customers yet, somebody else will find them and look after them.

Technology has made building a business much easier today than it was when we first started.

Over the last 18 years we have earned literally millions using a system which still works for us to today, and which we want to share with you. However, since we first started, new technologies have come along which can really help to leverage your time. By adding them into our system, it starts to get very exciting!

But first, let me tell you my story.....

If you dont know where you are going, youll end up somewhere else.

MY STORY

As a child I grew up in the north-east of England. Our family went back a few generations in the ship-building industry. At school I was very poor at my studies and was put in the backward class for English. I only found out that I was dyslexic after I left school.

In the final year at High School I did a week of work experience at Newcastle Weather Centre. However, A-Levels were needed for the job and getting A-Level English looked impossible with myself being dyslexic. We had a lesson on careers every week in which we had to find a job for life.

I followed my Dad into the shipyard and started training as a fitter and turner engineer at Swan Hunter.

However, I had no idea what I wanted to do. One day I overheard one of the class who had a friend who had left school, was making a fortune and he was rubbish at school.

This gave me my first hope.

If somebody else was earning a fortune, so could I.

One day, just after I left school, my Nana was betting on the football pools lottery. I put on a small amount and said I wanted to win, so I didnt have to work. My Nana laughed. She said you will have to get a job and work for the rest of your life.

My mind was made up. I had to find a hobby which would also be my job. I was not going to work all my life in a job.

However, where do you start? In those days you were told, just get a trade and you are set for life. So I followed my Dad into the shipyard and started training as a fitter and turner engineer at Swan Hunter. At that time 40,000 people worked in the shipyards.

The first years training was at a training centre and the subsequent four years were on the ships, and maintenance in the shipyard. I remember climbing a crane in a snowstorm with no safety equipment. I could have fallen and died and all for 30 per week!

At 18 I took up surfing, and was the worst at it! However I would not quit. I saw other people doing it and I thought if they can so can I!

My heart was never in the shipyard. I started playing football at weekends and at 17 ended up being captain of a team of people up to the age of 30.

I was asked five times to be Best Man, but made the excuse I could not do it, but really I was frightened to make the speech.

How that has changed now. Sometimes I am speaking in front of 7,000 people. Ill tell you how that changed later.

At 18 I took up surfing, and was the worst at it. However I would not quit. It took over half my life. I saw other people doing it and I thought if they can so can I!

Every penny I earned in the shipyard went on surfing trips around the UK and Europe. At the age of 26 I won my first local competition. I was starting to get sick of working in the shipyard and wanted to spend more time surfing. The shipyard had only been a stop gap job and yet ten years on, I was still there. Are you the same?

So, I started looking at ways my hobby could be my job.

I started making surfboards. It was messy and there was not much money in it.

You dont see anybody driving to the shipyard in a Porsche

However the wet suit I was using was made by a man in Devon and he was driving around in a Porsche 911.

I thought, well you dont see anybody driving to the shipyard in a Porsche. So once again I said, if he can do it so can I. All my friends told me it would not work. Why do people always try to knock you?

Well, I would prove them wrong.
