Summary

Today I’m On a Mission with private equity investor and serial entrepreneur Nathan Winch, a man who has skill for seeing the opportunities everywhere as he quietly acquires business after business and takes the world by storm.  

Ironically Nathan is beat known for founding Blue Bricks magazine and Preneur Capital which only make up the smallest part of his business empire. We talk about why networking can accelerate our entrepreneurial journey and the challenges he has faced during his incredible rise to success at such a young age.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We're often taught that careers, and working for other people, are the only way to carve out a future for ourselves. But the entrepreneurs among us can see the other pathways that serve us far better.
  • Networking is the most powerful way of incentivising people. By attracting the right people and fortifying our teams, we build strength and a foundation for the future.
  • We do not necessarily need to master every area of business, but surround ourselves with those who do, and develop ways in which to lead them.
  • We should never judge potential partners and investors on the money they bring to the table. It's far better to find someone who aligns to your values, than someone with bottomless reserves of cash. 

BEST MOMENTS

'I was the kid selling sweets at school'

'This entrepreneurial flair has always been there'

'I was almost like the conductor of the orchestra'

'It's a skill in itself, being able to know who to approach in the first instance'
