Dr Irene interviews Jonathan Jay in this episode. Jonathan is one of the world’s leading trainers on buying and selling businesses with over 30 years experience of successfully purchasing high-performing companies and accomplishing multi-million pound exits. Jonathan is an expert on dealing with private equity firms and has made multiple trade deals for bust companies which he then merges with his successful business portfolio.

Dr Irene chats with Jonathan about his career journey to date, his definition of wealth, his experience during Covid, dealing with stress, good habits and his methods to becoming happy, healthy and wealthy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Jonathan trains others with his knowledge of mergers, sales and acquisitions to enable them to make a smooth transition through what can be a lucrative life change.
• For most people, the best business to buy first is a non-technical uncomplicated long running business that has a reliable and proven track record.
• During Covid, Jonathan bought 48 nursery schools, which caused him to be hospitalised with a stress-related illness.
• After exiting Jonathan is much happier and spends time finding fulfilling and fun things to do to create a work-life balance.
• Good sleep creates productivity. It is a key to a settled and balanced work life. All aspects of health including diet contribute to well-being and happiness.
• If you have a personal trainer you accelerate your fitness journey and it is the same principle with coaches and mentors.

BEST MOMENTS

‘For coming up to seven years I have been running events, courses and training for people who want to buy a business and helping them with advice and guidance on how to do it properly.’ – Jonathan

‘I’ve had a pretty stressful life. A friend of mine years ago said working for yourself is a little bit like waking up unemployed every morning. By the end of the day you’re either unemployed or in gainful employment and the next morning the clock resets and you do it all over again.’ – Jonathan

‘I think I would have been too stressed and uptight to do social things before. So it’s a complete difference. I think the lesson learnt is that business is important but it’s not the most important thing.’ – Jonathan

‘When it becomes a routine you don’t have to fight your willpower because every time when you have to gain your willpower to decide ‘should I do it or should I not’? You just schedule it as part of the routine.’ – Dr Irene

‘Richard Branson made me realise the difference between a job and a business. If the business doesn’t operate without you it isn’t really a business, it’s a job.’ – Jonathan
