Look at Being Different & Maximise Your Industry
Early on in his Mentoring Journey, Jay was taught a very important statement;
You either have to be first; or you have to be different
Jay highlights the trends and anecdotal experience he has and how it supports this statement; This is as true now as it was when he first heard it.
In his training business, Jay knew he wasn’t first; there were many other businesses like his business, with similar or adjacent offerings. But Jay recalled the statement and he made sure he was not only different but different first.
Jay’s example was being innovative; finding a need and starting a service that no one was really doing (24-hour response calls). Jay made sure it was something he could consistently deliver and it was something he could fulfil (Jay knew he personally could manage this and his staff and business were more committed than the bigger businesses). As Jay scaled his business, he made sure he got the resources to back this as it grew (and watched the competition scramble to copy).
“If you can’t be different and you’re just gonna be one of many and you’re gonna be the same thing; don’t expect greater results”
Get in touch and let Jay know whether you agree or how were you first, different or perhaps both?!

ABOUT THE HOST
Jay Dhillon is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist based in the UK with a proven track record of growing businesses from start-up to success- and helping others do the same. From humble beginnings, Jay grew his first business from 0-500 employees and three locations, racking up sales of over £30 million – all without any investment other than a small amount of savings. The business went on to acquire major clients such as Landrover, Jaguar, Toyota and New Look, to name a few.
Its huge success inevitably brought about outside interest, and at the age of 33, Jay eventually sold the company to a London investment firm in Doyen Resources. Today, Jay owns several businesses in different sectors and helps entrepreneurs achieve success.
A calling to give back and help others led to Jay being chosen for the highly-coveted role as a Prince’s Trust mentor, where his achievements were marked by a personal invitation to Buckingham Palace to meet Prince Charles.
After helping several young entrepreneurs to success as a mentor for the Trust, Jay’s burning desire to bring his wisdom and knowledge to a wider audience ultimately triggered the concept of The Business Mentor Podcast.
Jay feels that anyone can achieve success in business with the right advice and mentoring and is now sharing his knowledge with his growing audience via his podcast.
In the UK alone, 95% of business fail within the first five years, and Jay’s aim is to reduce that number.
Backed with the hard-earned knowledge and experience from his time in business, The Business Mentor Podcast will share Jay’s personal business lessons as well those of other successful entrepreneur guests who share their wisdom and secrets on the show.
