## About This Episode

Sales – the life-blood of any company of business. If we are to survive, we need to be making sales, whether we are trillion dollar global company, or a one-person sole trader, or anywhere in between.

Unfortunately, however, a lot of people have a lot of stuff and even fear around sales. And that is just as true for a lot of people in business!

Join me where I discuss the topic with my guest Stephen Jones, as together we explore –

- Why people are scared of making sales
- Why you should stop selling!
- How this helps you to start growing

and a whole lot more.

## About My Guest

I was always going to run my own business… when I was 10 I went around to other houses in the area doing chores for cash, then realised that my friends – who wanted money, could do the work for me and I could just collect the monies, deal with the clients, and pay them half….. Many a lesson was learnt at the time that I draw upon even now

I tried “real jobs” several Saturday jobs, but really didn’t like the concept of working hard for someone else to profit…. Just never seemed fair!! Fast forward to University – final year – election campaign against Hilary Benn, and a job interview with a publishing house…. Then suddenly I graduated, and my bank were taking about pension schemes, mortgages, and life insurance….! I ran… to Australia….

I set up a little sales consulting business reviewing sales teams, and processes (yes at 21) and was published for my efforts. Then I took a year off and went to the US, rode a Gold-wing around, ending up in Canada selling investments…. Which I did well at, and by the late 90’s I had established a Venture Capital company with offices in Dallas and London.

I have lost everything twice, rebuilt twice, been divorced twice, and am a single father twice (two kids)….. I don’t do things by half, I double up!!!!
