13. How to Skip the "Start up" Struggle... Buy a Business! - Phil Jepson

Proof that it's never too late to go after your version of success without sacrifice, it is my greatest pleasure to introduce you to my Dad, Phil Jepson. My ethos of "success without sacrifice" was inspired by my Dad because I watched him spend the majority of his life sacrificing in order to achieve the traditional path of success that has never been able to fulfil him.. So I am super proud to share his story with you and how he changed his life and business to finally be able to live his version of success without sacrifice. You can connect with Phil using the following links: - Linkedin - UK Business Capital Partners Website My Dad is my role model, my best friend and my number 1 supporter. He gave me my start in business, entrusting his decade old company for me to run and experiment with to explore my own potential, but for a long time I watched my Dad repeatedly sacrifice in order to pursue someone else's version of success. Because of this, I am so proud to see where he is now in his life and business. He finally detached from his first business which gave him no joy whatsoever and raised millions of pounds to start his buying and selling businesses empire - UK businesses capital partners.  He has gone ALL IN on this venture (as you’ll hear in this episode) and as a result has experienced massive success super fast, now being invited to speak internationally on the same stages as celebrities and other millionaire and billionaire entrepreneurs. He’s been featured in NBC, fox, siliconvalley.com, USA today, streetinsider.com and many more. The worlds highest paid wealth coach JT Foxx also featured my Dad’s story in the latest edition of his book ‘Millionaire Underdog. He also has his own podcast, the buying and selling businesses show. There is no one who deserves this success more than my Dad.  In this episode we talk about: - How you can’t experience success without suffering and why it’s worth the wait. - How parenting changes your perspective, your ethos, decision making and perception of risk. - Why growing his start up business was never going to allow him to fulfil his potential and how buying and selling businesses is the vehicle that allows Phil to play to his strengths rather than struggle against his weaknesses. - Why being open minded and trying new entrepreneurial vehicles, even if they fail, allow you to see the opportunities that you can and will make a success. - How you justify investing £100,000 in your education and coaching with no guarantee of a return and why it was the best decision he ever made. - Why owning businesses that aren’t your passion, where you have no technical knowledge of the services / products you provide can actually allow you to perform at a higher level as a CEO and stop you falling into the trap of becoming an employee of your own business. - Why you’re never too old to change your life and go for your goals. We would both love it to hear your takeaways from this episode so please share these on the social platform of your choice tagging one or both of us in.
