There Is Such A Thing As The Right Thing For You – with Mark Wright

This week, Khadija keeps it very real with Mark Wright, who won The Apprentice in 2014, and who since then has gone on to found Climb Online with Lord Sugar, a digital marketing agency which has quickly become one of the most successful in the country.

Mark has a fascinating story of rags-to-riches; an Australian backpacker who never had any ambitions in business, but by a series of serendipitous events, Mark found himself rocketing to the top of the business world, where he's remained for the past eight years.

In this special episode, Khadija talks to Mark about his rise to the top, his views on money itself, and his proven recipe for success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Running a business is very tough, and the more successful you get, the more the pressure mounts. But each obstacle is a lesson, and the further along you get, the better you become at dealing with them.The key to success is sacrifice - No matter what it is you want, whether it's physical health, or financial freedom, you need to be prepared to work hard and sacrifice time and energy.Money and success follows attention. We should always be promoting ourselves. Start small. That attention will breed more, which breeds more. This knock-on effect will proliferate, and your success will develop in its wake.You are a reflection of the five people you spend the most time with. You inevitably pick up habits and qualities from those closest to you.If you're in a job that doesn't feel comfortable and enjoyable, then it's not the right thing for you. Keep searching until you find your vocation, because you only get one shot at life.When you start a business, it's worth focussing completely on that endeavour before you start trying to spread yourself too thin. Put all your eggs in one single basket.
