Mark Wright - From Broke to Winning the Apprentice & Being Lord Sugar's Business Partner
In this episode, Jeannette talks to Mark Wright who is famous for winning The Apprentice in 2010 and then subsequently becoming Lord Sugars’ business partner. Since then Mark has gone from strength to strength as a highly savvy businessman and entrepreneur as the Founder and CEO of Climb Online, a London-based results-driven digital marketing agency.
Mark reveals the behind the scenes secrets of being on the show, what it’s like to work with Lord Sugar and how his business experience has taken him from strength to strength. We also discuss how being out of kilter can be seriously damaging to your health and well-being, which is what happened when Mark came close to a breakdown.
They discuss financing a start-up, when to stop seeking private investment and how to succeed by getting your work-life balance right. As well as, how helping other people helps you and what business he would start if he suddenly lost everything.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Frequently, new experiences are what change your life for the better.
- Often, the best things happen after you have gone through a period of adversity.
- Spending time travelling and experiencing different cultures helps you massively in business.
- CoVid has pushed business owners to go online and get serious about digital marketing.
- There is a huge talent gap within the digital marketing industry.
- Work-life balance is vitally important. You will get sick if you push yourself too hard.
- Ignore the fake gurus.
- Be consistent. Don´t give up. Stick with what you are doing, and you will be successful.
- The more success you get the smaller your ego gets. You don´t need that validation anymore.

- The day you stop learning is the day you start dying.
- To be successful in business you’ve got to have rhinoceros’ skin. Be tough; ignore the critics and don’t take things personally.
