  • “Is there a blueprint to succeed?” The main answers will always be hard work, constancy and determination, but every story is unique.
    This is the start of a new international series where Daniel visits businesses of Entrepreneurs, to find out the driving force behind their success.
    This video focuses on a construction business in St Lucia which at one point was on the verge of bankruptcy, but through continual diversification in a challenging economic climate has managed to grow exponentially.
    One for aspiring Entrepreneurs, Business owners and anyone with an interest in construction.

      Well done Daniel, Reaching half a million subscribers is amazing! I haven't been here since the beginning but I have been here since A Day in the Life of a Construction Entrepreneur.
      I'm so proud of you and all you have achieved since then with the new yard. It won't be long now until you reach a million subscribers.
      Looking forward to the new Ashville subscriber plaque which will be made in house. I fully expect it will be polished concrete.

    Daniel, I remember you had some highlights of your visit to Blueprint for the episode that had your Mother's birthday in it. This stand alone video was excellent in showcasing your friends struggles and ideas to overcome his situation. You can tell Blueprint took your business advice to heart because there growth and business model mirrors your own at Ashville. Ya'll must be doing something right. Grats on 500k subscribers.

    Every episode, almost, almost makes me regret retiring at 45. I started a construction company at 19, even looked into opening a hardware store at one point. Karma/life is as it will be, but i get so much joy every week watching you struggle and eventually succeeding in your endeavors. Cheers mate.

    The big man in St Lucia is 💯 bang on the coin and killing it, nothing but respect for gentleman like him, I served my apprenticeship in a company like that, they couldn’t get parts…. They eventually got them and became a seller for the parts, I’d love to go work in St Lucia although I’m a 45year old Glaswegian so the heat could be an issue 😂😂
