I’ve worked with experienced sales people and , transformed them into elite sales people. I’ve wrote sales scripts in multiple industries to improve sales conversions. I’ve designed and improved KPIs for many companies resulting in an increase in sales.
Ask yourself, when was the last time you did something to up-skill your sales ability?
Who'd have thought such tiny changes could make such dramatic improvements?

But life wasn’t always like that……..
Jessen began his entrepreneurial journey in 2004 as a 24 year old. He opened a tile and bathroom showroom and lost £65,000 in the first year…OUCH! This hurt him bad as a young entrepreneur, but taught him lessons he didn’t know would benefit him in the future. Jessen went back into ‘employment’ as a Mental Health Nurse in a one of the UK’s largest private hospitals and quickly climbed the ranks to management within 3 short years. After achieving great financial success for his employer Jessen was sadly told in 2009 that his ‘his services were no longer required!’
Armed with a vow of never working for anyone again and a toolbox of life lessons, Jessen set up his own private healthcare business 5 months later and managed to quadruple it’s income in 2 short years! He then systemised the business; which allowed him to step away without reducing his income to lead a financially free life from the age of 31 & a millionaire 18 months later.
Jessen now spends his time with his family and training entrepreneurs all over the world on how to start, grow and expand their businesses whilst being able to work less on it or even step away COMPLETELY!

By renting out the spare rooms, he was able to cover the mortgage payments and effectively live for free! Caught by the property bug, Simon Zutshi started to buy more property. Thus, by the age of 32, he was financially independent. All from the passive income generated from his property portfolio.

This was by his early 20’s. Simon has often said that investing in property draws many parallels with magic. Once you know the secret, what seemed impossible before is simple to achieve. As and in order to become truly successful, you must practice and apply your knowledge with skill.
Simon now spends his time helping and educating other investors. This is by sharing his ‘hands-on experience’ gained over many years as a successful investor.

This weeks podcast we take things outside of the U.K with Ryan Luke CEO of Luke Capital Group & Co-Founder at Peak Performance Property
Ryan's Bio:
In September 2018 I decided to stop playing small and took the world of property serious.
I was tired of long hours and an unbalanced life and I had no pension so I needed to create a business that would pay me without working too much.
Long story short...
Fast forward a year and I had acquired 21 properties in 7 months.
Another year and the portfolio reached over 150 units with a mixture of leases, rentals, managed and owned and was worth 7 figures... 😱
Starting with no real experience, no network and limited funds.
I created a predictable, sustainable and scalable business on all fronts which continues to serve me and my clients to this very day as we continue to expand aggressively 🔥

Looking back over highlights from Episode 13 of Rag To Riches with Tom Smyth: 1000 Apartments, Worldwide businesses, Grant Cardone Licensee, how to take massive action in your life and grow in all areas of your life.
Staying very strong this week with Mark Shaw.
What a legend Mark is, so fascinating. Another guest that I’m so pleased to have had the opportunity to chat with.
Listen to how Mark went from invoicing parents for chores as child, to setting up an Estate Agency, to 37 property purchases in 9 months!!
Get ready to learn about …
- The power of lease options
- Creative purchasing
- Wealth creation
Tom Smyth is the founder, managing director and owner of Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments. Who, in just four short years has grown Dream Apartments from a start-up company to Northern Ireland’s leading serviced-apartments provider with over 500 design-led apartments in major UK urban hubs, including Liverpool, Newcastle, Manchester, Belfast and Middlesbrough & internationally in Paris, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Sao Paulo - employing over 200 staff.
Dream Apartments introduced a new concept in luxury, short-term accommodation and hospitality in Belfast, opened a new market sector and set the standards for serviced apartments. Dream Apartments is the realisation of Tom’s initial vision for changing the way people use and engage with the hospitality and short-term accommodation sector.
Tom is a true example of a budding entrepreneur with a passion for business growth combined with giving back to his local community where possible. His growth on social media has been exponential, growing from 500 to 11.9k followers on Instagram in just under 6 months and reaching 6,000 followers on TikTok in under 3 months and one of his videos reaching 188,000 views.
Tom’s infectious positive mental attitude has allowed him to grow his business to exponential levels within just four years of launching.
Tom has an extremely positive mindset and outlook on life, and believes that if you take massive action, you can overcome any adversity or challenges. When the coronavirus pandemic hit, Tom immediately began brainstorming solutions to overcome the devastating effects of this virus.
Much like the rest of the world, the coronavirus pandemic has severely impacted the hospitality industry and beyond. When the world went into lockdown, Tom and Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments had to think strategically and act fast. With leisure guests being put on pause, they had to focus their effort solely on corporate and business travellers. The occupancy levels stayed the same but with a different split as 100% of the travellers were now on business. According to our system operator, Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments were one of the two only serviced apartments company to survive the Covid-19 pandemic and the severe impacts of a lockdown.
Dream had to completely restructure their business model and adapt to the market, facilitating the needs of only corporate clients in an uncharted climate. Growing from under 300 apartments to now over 500 apartments in a global pandemic is a huge achievement for Tom and the Dream brand. Securing deals with high profile companies for long term lets highlights not only how adaptable the Dream brand is, but also Tom’s tenacity and determination to deal with and overcome any situation he is faced with.
With restrictions now easing and leisure guests resuming, Dream are now reaping in the benefits of housing both more corporate guests and a large number of leisure guests, being fully booked most weekends in all cities throughout the UK.
Dream Luxury Serviced Apartments are now opening brand new luxury apartments in Dundee on the 1st November 2021. Dream’s expansion in Scotland is true example of how rapidly the company has grown in the last 4 years. Situated in the heart of Dundee’s West End, Dream Apartments offers spacious, amenity rich, self-catering apartments for both leisure & corporate guests to enjoy a home from home experience whilst travelling. Just a 7 minute drive from Dundee airport and a short distance from the train station, Dream Apartments Dundee is close to Dundee University, The V&A, Waterfront area, shops, bars and restaurants. Comprising 25 apartments, these 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units offer comfortable furnishings with scenic city & river views - some even have balconies!
