KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Entrepreneurs feel the need to better themselves from an early age, and will do whatever it takes to get there. This is why their early business life is usually so varied when it comes to jobs.
  • Consistency breeds reliability. If we also make sure that the work we do is to our best ability, then customers will tell others.
  • If we respect others, then they in turn will respect us. When a customer offers us their business, it is because they have chosen us for their trust.
  • In business we need to follow our guts and go with our instinct. Sometimes our subconscious is trying to steer us towards decisions based on things we may not consciously remember.

    • BEST MOMENTS

    'I really wanted to get out there into the world'

    'I built up a reputation by the age of 15 or 16'

    'I've gained respect through giving it'

    'Going with your gut - it's always been a common factor'

    ABOUT THE HOST

    John Paul Reilly is dyslexic business man who left school just before his 16th birthday, barely able to read and write, to the point that at exam time one of the teachers had to read the questions out to him (and then write down his answers).

    Written off, like most kids who struggled at school, and being told by his woodwork teacher he was “nothing, and would amount to nothing” he now runs a multi award-winning company in the construction industry .

    A loud but shy person who knew he wanted to achieve great things with no clue what business he wanted to do but knew that’s what he wanted. With his first business started at age 14, to now, he has learned most things the hard way.

    Now the owner of multiple business with one being multi award winning, John Paul has been in business over many years sharing what he has learned over this time mainly the hard way.
