30: Building A Business Using 'Marxist Capitalism' & Dealing With Criticism & Doubters with Simon Biltcliffe

It was fantastically interesting talking to Simon Biltcliffe. He's the CEO of Webmart, a super successful UK-based printing company. Now you may wonder why I'm talking to the CEO of a printing company on this podcast. But it's because Simon runs his business using a pretty unique philosophy he calls Marxist Capitalism. This is such an interesting concept. And I found it fascinating to hear how Simon seems to have a business that pulls all the best parts from both capitalism and Marxism, while leaving out the not so good parts. Plus, how Simon fought through the 'nay-sayers' to implement this and maintain a super successful business. In The Episode, We Talk About... Simon's story of how he first got into the printing business. What 'Marxist Capitalism' actually is and how it works. The '2 enoughs' that lay the foundation for building a successful, yet 'rewarding for all' business. How Simon ensures that his staff and everyone in his company receive intellectual, emotional AND financial returns beyond their standard salary. How YOU can use this concept in your own business, regardless of whether you're a solopreneur or a public company. How Simon as a successful CEO dealt with (and continues to deal with) criticism on his Marxist Capitalism concept.
