It doesnt have to be perfect...15:28 I feel like if it's not absolutely perfect to me, I won't be able to sell it to others. My product is a service. in time yes I will sell product, but would be refurbished tech equipment and a "warranty" that I'll help fix and teach how to fix their own devices (drones/Rc stuff)
Sell the sizzle, not the steak" is a marketing adage that means to focus on selling the benefits of a product or service to customers, rather than the features.
Brilliant video, and obviously relevant for us. Learnt so much with FTHRhood and following you for so long learnt a lot of what you say in this already. All going to help with our second brand launch. Our issue is as always funding. Life so tight that unable to re invest the small profit we make. I'd love to be able to afford initial stock or even samples for content, market testing but stuck with print.on demand and mock up imagery. But, as always, we keep pushing. Thankyou for making this and all the others.
Defining the product and market demographic is all important. I've been thinking about a clothing brand for AGES. I run a youtube channel and absolutely know from my video stats that my demographic is men over 50 interested in Motorhome Travel. What's my Dream? launch clothing brand featuring my "The Happy Travellers" youtube channel brand. and as long as I can make a modest retirement income I'd happily send ALL the profit to enabling older people own and use a motorhome to experience the joy of traveling. WOW, this video is excellent and has inspired me to write the above description. getting clarity at last...
I wanted to create and build a business since 10 years just never really had the confidence to do it.. I then found my passion working selfemployed as a luxury real estate agent in Spain. Since the market is declining I am now with the back agains the wall and I think my idea was just born through your videos… thanks for building me up through your videos! They keep me going and trying to see a light at the end of the tunnel!
This is the best video I have ever seen, and it all feels so achievable, one thing I love about this video is you can come back to it depending on what stage you are on.
I’m deeply inspired by your videos and your message about chasing dreams. I’ve always wanted to start my own café business, but I come from a background where girls don’t usually take such steps. I don’t have the funds, and I can’t rely on family support, but I’m determined to make this happen. Your journey motivates me to keep pushing forward. Thank you for inspiring dreamers like me!
Clothes ~30% returns. Each return costs 15 usd if made through bank return request. Dont forget to calculate all costs and risks. Business is a language of digits, but is not of "your dreams". Digits first.
I've been watching you Simon since I owned my business. At the moment, it was all gone and seem like I have lost the direction. I don't even know what is the next step to take, what is a better option to do. I lost my business, I unemployed but I still want to see your videos because I hope there will be one which can trigger me to start something new.
Hi Simon, it's much more valuable. Can You make a video about Business Storytelling? It's Good topic to cover, because so many people struggle to tell a great story. You'll be the first person to actually breaking down this concept.
I❤you. I am a 43 year old Single Mama from Berlin. With heaps of Single Mama supporting ideas all written down but they never left their Nest. Thank you!!!! I now See light, know it's doable. And I will do it. I feel like you reached me your hand and helped me up and showed me that it's possible. A totally new World. Bin hug❤❤❤
Hi simon, thanks for all your viedos, im in the process of launching a baby changing bag for dads at the moment that Genuinely helps dads and makes there lives easier ( being a dad of two is how the idea came to me) and listening to all your advise has been priceless an im trying to put it into practice where ever i can, so again an honest thanks.
What I get from this, is that one of the primary focusses should be your why. Get it right. I mean really work it. If you have that right, the rest seems easy enough
I’ve been watching your content for a while. You have inspired me and I have started working on my Dream. I have no idea what I’m doing but I’ll carry on learning and pushing to make my dream come a reality. Thanks you
I am currently doing Bachelors in Business I have to say I have learned lot of things from this video which my university failed to teach me and I am going to suggest your channel to my friends as well. Thank you Simon for making such informative content
I started my dream about a year ago. I felt like a newborn baby, I feel like employment sheltered me and when I went out on my own I then understood how little I knew! Guys like Simon helped me learn to walk :D Cheers!
What a story, “I married my first contractor” 🎉🎉🎉 I guess I am not in too bad position starting a business with my partner (designer/ psychologist) and me (software engineer) both with passion for growth and self development 😅
I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Evelyn Infurna. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.
I know this lady you just mentioned. Evelyn Infurna Services is a portfolio manager and investment advisor. She gained recognition as a former employee at Goldman Sachs; a renowned investor she is. Evelyn Infurna has demonstrated expertise in investment strategies n has been involved in managing portfolios and providing guidance to clients.
Evelyn Infurna Services has really set the standard for others to follow, we love her here in Canada 🇨🇦 as she has been really helpful and changed lots of life's
Hi Simon, My key takeaways from your video are that a business concept isn't just about making money it's about heart and giving back. Ask ourselves why we do what we do, not just what we do. Sharing our because creates a deeper connection with the person we're speaking to. Thank you for reminding us that the heart of a business is giving and together, we can achieve more than we could on our own.
Great video. Have you put down your supplier of the hoodies ? A nice touch to the hoodies would be a note under the sleeve saying. Sometimes you just need to roll up your sleeves and march on.
The best most credible and most inspiring video on entrepreneurship I have seen so far. Great advice and practical steps to follow and implement. I am at 62 now even really considering going to launch a business again. Previously I have been into services and developed very specialised complex products geared at solving specific problems. Always worked my ass off without even considering marketing and sales. Just assuming a great product would sell itself. Then went into retail, selling vinyl records because I liked them, without even considering margins and costs. Man, had I listened to you before, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. The good thing is, I already have a great brand name that I could use for my new business. BTW, I noticed that you didn't talk about drop shipping. Why would you not consider that option for this new business? I would appreciate to get in touch! Again thanks for the great video!
As a new investor, it's important to remember that investing and trading require more than just technical analysis skills. Discipline and emotional maturity play a significant role in achieving success. It's wise to keep in mind the adage of "time in the market vs. timing the market," as this mentality can help you weather market volatility. With insights of Donna Mikalonis and my commitment to learning and growth, I've been increasing my earnings in just a few months. Keep up the good work
The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional.
Nice info, i appreciate your concern this will help a lot especially to the young bitcoin investors who have no or lesser knowledge on how bitcoin market works.
Thank you, Simon. You are the most down to earth content creator out there providing amazing value! You have inspired me to dive into creating my own marketing agency. I'm an engineer in my day job and have struggled to come up with an idea for my own business. Until I realised I love marketing and that I can combine the two. Together with a friend, who is in marketing full time. we have come up with the idea for a bespoke marketing agency for engineering companies. So far, the response from friends and colleagues has been great and we already may have a client. Thank you for your inspiration.
Simon, a few months ago i was searching for courses and degrees on this 45 minute video you just putted out. Nothing convinced me and then I watched the full video in one sitting, took notes, and just gotta say thank you for sharing this.
Wow your an amazing man very brainy and kind keep it up sir hope one day we cross our way hope i can see you in person❤❤❤❤❤❤very proud of you a good mentor❤❤
I would personally like to say thank you me and my friend just recently just found your videos and we’re slowly using your guide to get our ducks in a row to start our own brand
Great content I just started watching your videos last month. You have really motivated me to do more with my life. I started promoting my side hustle more and i am seeing massive results. Overcoming my fear is hard but with each actions, that fear looks not so scary anymore. Very grateful form Nigeria 🇳🇬
Any chance of showing the struggle or challenges you face with this business? Fed up of seeing only the positives of running a business, more valuable to see the challenges and how you resolve it.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Brooke Grace Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Thanks Simon for all of your help. I'm trying to make it as an artist and I have no idea how, with your videos I'm learning a lot of important things to consider when creating a business.
Thank you Simon and your team - work out the practical steps, costs, don,t overdo at the beginning, grow the business. Less overheads. Work with others and incentivise. best of luck with your business.🎁
I currently have the dream to build a brand around the car industry by selling posters and clothes with my designs on it… This motivated me to start the journey…Let‘s do it! ❤
Thank you for your help simon! Through watching a few of these longer videos, the recurring themes, and the launching points you give have allowed me to get closer to starting my business. Ive got everything planned with realistic goals at many points. A reinvestment %, and community building %. My main goal is to get the general public educated and flying drones. Drones arent all ukraine war videos, or pervs looking through your windows. Drones are the closest thing you can get to feeling like a jet fighter without risking your body or bank account. With hundreds of uses across many diciplines. Educating also means partnering with FAA to teach drone safety, and licences for 107 and 93. Go to events to show off drone racing. You can be a pilot without leaving the ground!
Simon! I was lost but always knew I wanted to started a business and instead of that I found a purpose ❤ and now I’m working on that purpose. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge hopefully in 3 years I can comment I already have my business functioning properly and most importantly changing the world with that main purpose 💕🙌🏻
The value you provide in these videos is incredible! However, I dont know if it's my mindset or or poor background, but £85 for a hoodie is soo expensive!
Thank you very much Simon. True, what you have explained will work and be successful. I guess the challenge is in the few preliminary actions. that must come first. Very encouraging
great video Simon, I was really impressed at the amount of time you spent listening to people at Ideas Fest a week or two ago. I am a typical introverted engineer that has solved a problem for the construction industry but am struggling with traction due to not getting the right message across through content. Lots of videos like this gloss over this area as I assume it is easy for people like yourself. Would love any advise on how to find the right message for potential customers.
Simon one thing, you tell people they can sell $5k of merch for a new ‘unknown’ brand but most people don’t have a huge follower base to instantly monetizes and access to willing collaborators. You said you marketed it your followers which would be warm to hot leads for anything you do. Feels disingenuous to ignore the biggest and most likely ‘important’ factor to success of brand which is visibility/reach. Do most brands fail not because their products are terrible but because they struggle to reach potential customers? Even harder without paid advertising. Also arn’t brands purchased because of their reputation and association which takes time, how do you get around this for a brand no one knows about and haven’t developed trust and brand loyalty. I’m interested in seeing you do this experiment with one of your followers and not use your network and see if it’s as simple. If you could pull it off I feel there would be more insights that would be more useful to viewers (myself included) who don’t have a network to leverage and have to build brand visibility from zero. To be balanced and not throw the baby out with the bath water I think you have great advice, this elephant in the video was bothering me.
@@tylerdryman exactly my thoughts! I started a new brand 2 years ago and I’m still struggling to market it since it’s new and I don’t have a follower base to support me.. it’s not easy!
Totally agree. I come from the fashion industries and already failed 2 brands that I started.because I was unable to actually build a BRAND that people are willing to buy in. Making and producing nice products is actually the easiest part. But really getting people buy into something unknown is hard as there exist so many nice fashion products out there. As a consumer, I am the same. I dont buy into newcomer brands when I can save up to buy me a nice known designer branded piece
I think I would like to add that it is much easier to have your product, in this case clothing, designed by someone who knows the target group very well. For example: If you want to reach Gen Z, it is much easier to know Gen Z inside and out and to belong to it.
That’s really awesome Simon, I would love to starts something like this and the purpose is to help my people who struggling from the war going on in Sudan there’s millions of people need help to get even food and the whole world looking the other way like there’s nothing happening. But here in the Middle East in general it’s hard to start a business especially for us who living in Golf countries and not originally from there because you need a lot of money for the licenses and registration of the company before you start a business there. I just wanted to share this with you I’m a big fan of yours hoping to meet you someday and why not doing business together.
Hi Simon, i sold up & moved to Thailand 1 year ago, i followed your stuff for a while now & tried all the things you have done, i run a GM business back at home but i can’t get to grips or income on what you are advising, i’ve earned around £180 from SM this year on Tiktok & yes i do need to brush up on my YT. i see that’s i’ve tried so much online things maybe i am just better hands on.
Hi Simon, I'm from Argentina and I own a mountain-inspired clothing brand. Even though I've made over 2,000 sales on Shopify, I found your video incredibly enriching. After seven years of reinvesting every penny, 2023 was the first year we could finally take money off the table. I believe this is a major reason why most small companies fail within the first three years-patience is one of the most essential skills for entrepreneurs. Lastly, I have an additional tip that might be helpful for those starting clothing brands: consider print-on-demand. It requires literally zero upfront investment.
Love this, I’m off straight away to go and add some follow up sales plans to people who purchase off our site. Offering them a different product, referring friends. These videos are amazing and I’d love to sit and chat for 30mins!! Keep up the amazing work!
Hey Simon, I really love your videos and this one is a really good one 💯 I wanted to ask you that why don't you ask "What's your aim?" Instead of "What's your dream?" Because my personal opinion suggests that Aim is a fixed goal which we have to achieve. But dreams can be imagined and we can forget them them
Thank you for the knowledge.....PS I made personal business two times I failed because I had very a bad financial management skills but now I am looking forward to start another business.
Simon saw the amount of money you could make as an influencer and said "hold my beer". That being said, kudos for putting out legitimately amazing content for free. Win-win!
Ive just released my first app and now working on my second which i hope to brand and market. This video has helped, i have made video content previously and will make some based on the business when the next app is released. Its not easy though using the laptop i have but ive done it once and will do it again. Thanks for the info, ive always wanted quality in everything i make so i hoping to make the best products available in the market 💪
Thank you, simon You share what i need God bless you I plan to begin a small business but due to the lack of fund i find it hard to begin I use the fund to take care my mother then my father But i believe i can make it happen
I'm going to get businesses to pay for their employees' mental and physical well-being because when people are pain free and feel good, they're happier, more productive, and thrive at work and life! Like you said - make the team feel valued. In my case: the staff win, the business wins, and I fulfil my purpose so I win too!
@Buildxbeyond Sounds like a great avenue to pursue, sales teams are usually deskbased, so lots of neck, shoulder, and lower back pain to resolve... thanks for your comment!
I'm sending my HR manager an email if you can get this going. Lots of mental health training but something that helps with physical pains in-house would be great. I'm guessin your background is rehab?
@@CyrilLeBopAmazing, thank you! For 15 years I've been an osteopath and in rehabilitation. I got an injury myself and being self employed I couldn't earn when I didn't work. So I thought if people had access to help digitally or a training that they can refer to, they can get back to work faster. Plus keeping mobile and stretching whilst at work prevents injuries cropping up. The challenge I'm facing is I've always worked in clinics, so selling to a business is very foreign to me!
Definitely focus on your target audience, I have been to spread out in the past and a clothing brand is a great idea for my audience. But I think I wanted to add more value and workout out how to include a free workout program/nutrition plan with every purchase. To help people new and that have lost their motivation. Thanks for the information:)
Sir, I’m from India I’m a middle class man, and I want to stop living the miserable life I have rn, I’m sure if you’ll get to know about me, maybe you can pull me out of this pothole. I respect your work so much, Lots of love ❤️
Great insights!! Generating a solid income as a beginner requires STRATEGY and DEDICATION! 🌟 Embrace the journey, focus on your GOALS, and take consistent ACTION. Success is within your REACH! 💪
@@SimonSquibb i have a clothing dream I just need the funds to get started it’s a fitness line to support the heart foundation due to congenital heart disease
creatives should be really encouraged by these tips. you already have the ideas, the vision, and the talent to get a way more interestingly designed product done than others. the rest is easy :)
Thank you for your inspiration! Your videos are helping to kick my ass into gear! I would like some advice on how to get help with finding people who can help me design a product and get it manufactured. I have so many ideas of how to improve things for healthcare, but don't know how to get started.
simon i need to make a consruction company in South Africa building everything from morden family homes , wearhouses , multi complex building with cheaper ,innovative , strong material using less skilled labour as possible
I would love to meet you and get some advice from you 😊 Hope you visit Sweden soon in the future and thanks for all the information you teach us ❤ Greetings from Sweden
Ultimately I want to have some forestry land with lodges on for recovering alcoholics and their families , children in care , for it to benefit people and bring peace . You have inspired me to make this change and go for it so thank you Simon 😊
Great Contents as usual, your communication is so clear and direct… At the moment i am stuck into the trademark process,no idea how to apply and where, i manage to make and get my samples..

Brother, you are such an inspiration for us, when finishing college every path is tempting but blurry and you help us see the way 🙂↔️👏 Lisan Algaib???
The 45 minutes went very fast. Usually, I get bored easily, but this video was stuffed with useful info without fluff. Thank you, Simon, for bringing this knowledge to our attention. It is very helpful.
Thank you Simon. After listening to you I feel as if I am able to do it. I have most of the necessary skills and know how, I just need someone that has done it before to give me that kick in the butt to go for it.
I want to start my own swimming club. I have 10+ years as an instructor. And I've worked alongside some of the best in the business. Trouble is most pools are not interested in hiring me a lane. As there are so many established clubs.
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
Regardless of whether you're a wise person, it's best to consult a professional advisor right away. As a business owner in the service industry as well as an eBay reseller of all product categories, I can attest to the fact that we are in a severe recession and that everyone is running out of money.
What's your key takeaway from this video? Get your notes ready!
It doesnt have to be perfect...15:28
I feel like if it's not absolutely perfect to me, I won't be able to sell it to others. My product is a service. in time yes I will sell product, but would be refurbished tech equipment and a "warranty" that I'll help fix and teach how to fix their own devices (drones/Rc stuff)

I just started watching your videos last month. You have really motivated me to do more with my life. I started promoting my side hustle more and i am seeing massive results. Overcoming my fear is hard but with each actions, that fear looks not so scary anymore. Very grateful form Nigeria 🇳🇬
Nice job for learning from these videos and taking action! Respect!
Any chance of showing the struggle or challenges you face with this business? Fed up of seeing only the positives of running a business, more valuable to see the challenges and how you resolve it.
@@lsrm18 Head down, power through. That's the mantra when things get really hard and dark.
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my entire life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Brooke Grace Miller.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Brooke Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $5500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Thanks Simon for all of your help. I'm trying to make it as an artist and I have no idea how, with your videos I'm learning a lot of important things to consider when creating a business.
Thank you Simon and your team - work out the practical steps, costs, don,t overdo at the beginning, grow the business. Less overheads. Work with others and incentivise. best of luck with your business.🎁
I currently have the dream to build a brand around the car industry by selling posters and clothes with my designs on it… This motivated me to start the journey…Let‘s do it! ❤
This guy is incredible. How big his hearth is. Totaly love it. I would like to meet You.
I can never sleep after watching your videos, damn! They really mess with my head
As a video editor and graphics designer, this video made my life so easy, I’m gonna start right away 🎉❤
Thank you for your help simon! Through watching a few of these longer videos, the recurring themes, and the launching points you give have allowed me to get closer to starting my business.
Ive got everything planned with realistic goals at many points.
A reinvestment %, and community building %.
My main goal is to get the general public educated and flying drones.
Drones arent all ukraine war videos, or pervs looking through your windows. Drones are the closest thing you can get to feeling like a jet fighter without risking your body or bank account.
With hundreds of uses across many diciplines. Educating also means partnering with FAA to teach drone safety, and licences for 107 and 93. Go to events to show off drone racing.
You can be a pilot without leaving the ground!
Hi Simon I love your concept, you can also try give without take front) and build or build lives at the (back) God bless🙏🏽 keep on building lives.
Simon! I was lost but always knew I wanted to started a business and instead of that I found a purpose ❤ and now I’m working on that purpose. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge hopefully in 3 years I can comment I already have my business functioning properly and most importantly changing the world with that main purpose 💕🙌🏻
The value you provide in these videos is incredible! However, I dont know if it's my mindset or or poor background, but £85 for a hoodie is soo expensive!
This is the best video to stumble upon while working like crazy building my own brand!!
Can’t wait for a follow up about how things are going.
Thanks for the guide Simon, no bullshit, straight up, no fake guru, great!
Thank you very much Simon. True, what you have explained will work and be successful. I guess the challenge is in the few preliminary actions.
that must come first. Very encouraging
I watch a lot of business podcasts.
for this one, I needed to find my note book and take work notes
What a blueprint and it's free, thanks ❤. If you leave in Nigeria times the blueprint difficulty by 2
It was a great video and got to learn many new things .Thank you Simon for such informational content
great video Simon, I was really impressed at the amount of time you spent listening to people at Ideas Fest a week or two ago. I am a typical introverted engineer that has solved a problem for the construction industry but am struggling with traction due to not getting the right message across through content. Lots of videos like this gloss over this area as I assume it is easy for people like yourself. Would love any advise on how to find the right message for potential customers.
Simon one thing, you tell people they can sell $5k of merch for a new ‘unknown’ brand but most people don’t have a huge follower base to instantly monetizes and access to willing collaborators.
You said you marketed it your followers which would be warm to hot leads for anything you do.
Feels disingenuous to ignore the biggest and most likely ‘important’ factor to success of brand which is visibility/reach.
Do most brands fail not because their products are terrible but because they struggle to reach potential customers? Even harder without paid advertising.
Also arn’t brands purchased because of their reputation and association which takes time, how do you get around this for a brand no one knows about and haven’t developed trust and brand loyalty.
I’m interested in seeing you do this experiment with one of your followers and not use your network and see if it’s as simple.
If you could pull it off I feel there would be more insights that would be more useful to viewers (myself included) who don’t have a network to leverage and have to build brand visibility from zero.
To be balanced and not throw the baby out with the bath water I think you have great advice, this elephant in the video was bothering me.
@@jimmyportfolio this
Agreed.
@@tylerdryman exactly my thoughts! I started a new brand 2 years ago and I’m still struggling to market it since it’s new and I don’t have a follower base to support me.. it’s not easy!
Totally agree. I come from the fashion industries and already failed 2 brands that I started.because I was unable to actually build a BRAND that people are willing to buy in. Making and producing nice products is actually the easiest part. But really getting people buy into something unknown is hard as there exist so many nice fashion products out there. As a consumer, I am the same. I dont buy into newcomer brands when I can save up to buy me a nice known designer branded piece
You dont need a huge fan base you just need 3 happy clients to tell all their friends and/or work with someone who has a fan base.
I think I would like to add that it is much easier to have your product, in this case clothing, designed by someone who knows the target group very well.
For example: If you want to reach Gen Z, it is much easier to know Gen Z inside and out and to belong to it.
This was an amazing video. As a 25 year old this puts things into perspective.
That’s really awesome Simon, I would love to starts something like this and the purpose is to help my people who struggling from the war going on in Sudan there’s millions of people need help to get even food and the whole world looking the other way like there’s nothing happening. But here in the Middle East in general it’s hard to start a business especially for us who living in Golf countries and not originally from there because you need a lot of money for the licenses and registration of the company before you start a business there.
I just wanted to share this with you I’m a big fan of yours hoping to meet you someday and why not doing business together.
Hi Simon, i sold up & moved to Thailand 1 year ago, i followed your stuff for a while now & tried all the things you have done, i run a GM business back at home but i can’t get to grips or income on what you are advising, i’ve earned around £180 from SM this year on Tiktok & yes i do need to brush up on my YT. i see that’s i’ve tried so much online things maybe i am just better hands on.
Hi Simon, I'm from Argentina and I own a mountain-inspired clothing brand. Even though I've made over 2,000 sales on Shopify, I found your video incredibly enriching. After seven years of reinvesting every penny, 2023 was the first year we could finally take money off the table. I believe this is a major reason why most small companies fail within the first three years-patience is one of the most essential skills for entrepreneurs.
Lastly, I have an additional tip that might be helpful for those starting clothing brands: consider print-on-demand. It requires literally zero upfront investment.
i really love the purpose and movement. I would love to extend your mission and goals for i have the same values and purpose as you :)
Love this, I’m off straight away to go and add some follow up sales plans to people who purchase off our site. Offering them a different product, referring friends. These videos are amazing and I’d love to sit and chat for 30mins!! Keep up the amazing work!

Hey Simon, I really love your videos and this one is a really good one 💯
I wanted to ask you that why don't you ask "What's your aim?" Instead of "What's your dream?" Because my personal opinion suggests that Aim is a fixed goal which we have to achieve. But dreams can be imagined and we can forget them them
Aim is not strong enough
so happy to see how much your socials grew! consistency is 🔑 and it shows
Thank you for the knowledge.....PS I made personal business two times I failed because I had very a bad financial management skills but now I am looking forward to start another business.
Amazing video and exactly what I needed. Thank you Simon for sharing your knowledge.
Glad it was helpful!
This is so close to what I do, I have a purpose and a misson
Evening Simon, several times I have watched this video this evening... challenge on 💪🏻 time to get started on an idea I had put on the back burner
Simon saw the amount of money you could make as an influencer and said "hold my beer".
That being said, kudos for putting out legitimately amazing content for free. Win-win!
Ive just released my first app and now working on my second which i hope to brand and market. This video has helped, i have made video content previously and will make some based on the business when the next app is released. Its not easy though using the laptop i have but ive done it once and will do it again. Thanks for the info, ive always wanted quality in everything i make so i hoping to make the best products available in the market 💪
Thank you, simon
You share what i need
God bless you
I plan to begin a small business but due to the lack of fund i find it hard to begin
I use the fund to take care my mother then my father
But i believe i can make it happen
Get your business structure in place and learn the tax system, then make sure your business has a purpose, then do it!
I'm going to get businesses to pay for their employees' mental and physical well-being because when people are pain free and feel good, they're happier, more productive, and thrive at work and life!
Like you said - make the team feel valued. In my case: the staff win, the business wins, and I fulfil my purpose so I win too!
@Buildxbeyond Sounds like a great avenue to pursue, sales teams are usually deskbased, so lots of neck, shoulder, and lower back pain to resolve... thanks for your comment!
I'm sending my HR manager an email if you can get this going. Lots of mental health training but something that helps with physical pains in-house would be great. I'm guessin your background is rehab?
@@CyrilLeBopAmazing, thank you! For 15 years I've been an osteopath and in rehabilitation.
I got an injury myself and being self employed I couldn't earn when I didn't work. So I thought if people had access to help digitally or a training that they can refer to, they can get back to work faster.
Plus keeping mobile and stretching whilst at work prevents injuries cropping up.
The challenge I'm facing is I've always worked in clinics, so selling to a business is very foreign to me!
I love this video. Thank you for making it. Can you share how you gathered feedback?
Ask people what they think
This was amazing advice! Thank you do much this has really helped and motivated me to start with the guidance you have provided😌
You're so welcome!
@@SimonSquibb I’ve never known someone so honest and genuine like yourself and that’s what makes me trust your advice and knowledge
So practical and useful. Keep it going!
The practical tips you shared really resonate with me. It’s great to see advice that’s applicable to both personal growth and professional success.
So glad!
Definitely focus on your target audience, I have been to spread out in the past and a clothing brand is a great idea for my audience. But I think I wanted to add more value and workout out how to include a free workout program/nutrition plan with every purchase. To help people new and that have lost their motivation. Thanks for the information:)
I find the "find winning product" step to be hardest
Sir, I’m from India I’m a middle class man, and I want to stop living the miserable life I have rn,
I’m sure if you’ll get to know about me, maybe you can pull me out of this pothole.
I respect your work so much,
Lots of love ❤️
Great insights!!
Generating a solid income as a beginner requires STRATEGY and DEDICATION! 🌟
Embrace the journey, focus on your GOALS, and take consistent ACTION. Success is within your REACH! 💪
Always wanted to launch a clothing brand. This might just be what I need to get my ass kicked to get it done! Thanks Simon!
I never saw content that want change your life and a lot love in it.
“Stop being lazy” has to be the best advice ever ❤️
😂
@@SimonSquibb i have a clothing dream I just need the funds to get started it’s a fitness line to support the heart foundation due to congenital heart disease
Very insightful, Simon. A big Thank you, for all that you are doing, for your fellow man and woman.
You are very welcome
creatives should be really encouraged by these tips. you already have the ideas, the vision, and the talent to get a way more interestingly designed product done than others. the rest is easy :)
Thank you for your inspiration! Your videos are helping to kick my ass into gear!
I would like some advice on how to get help with finding people who can help me design a product and get it manufactured. I have so many ideas of how to improve things for healthcare, but don't know how to get started.
Suppliers - solve it by using print on demand platforms.

If you use royal mail get a business account if you're posting a lot. Itll save you quite a bit of money
Brother, you are such an inspiration for us, when finishing college every path is tempting but blurry and you help us see the way 🙂↔️👏 Lisan Algaib???
I love what you're doing man! I'm a video editor and social media manager and I'd love to work with you, what do you say?
Thank you for sharing Simon, so appreciated. Getting started & having some sort of guidance to follow is invaluable 👍🏽🥰
Very welcome
The 45 minutes went very fast. Usually, I get bored easily, but this video was stuffed with useful info without fluff. Thank you, Simon, for bringing this knowledge to our attention. It is very helpful.
Thanks for making so much value free to access for millions of people
Thank you Simon. After listening to you I feel as if I am able to do it. I have most of the necessary skills and know how, I just need someone that has done it before to give me that kick in the butt to go for it.
I want to start my own swimming club. I have 10+ years as an instructor. And I've worked alongside some of the best in the business.
Trouble is most pools are not interested in hiring me a lane. As there are so many established clubs.
As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
Regardless of whether you're a wise person, it's best to consult a professional advisor right away. As a business owner in the service industry as well as an eBay reseller of all product categories, I can attest to the fact that we are in a severe recession and that everyone is running out of money.
Hello there, Can you recommend a trusted fellow i can reach out to? I think that is the right thing to do.
