Nigel Botterill - How I Built a £1 Million Business in 3 Weeks...

Grow My Business Or Sell It

Nigel Botterill is famous for building NINE separate million pound businesses in the last 12 years. He’s a Sunday Times best-selling author, a serial entrepreneur and founder of Entrepreneurs Circle, the UK’s largest private organisation dedicated to helping entrepreneurs to get & keep customers. So its not surprising that he’s known as the most sought after business growth expert in the UK.

Along with his team he has helped over 50,000 entrepreneurs to skyrocket their business success through a proven 5-part system, how-to guides, tools, resources, and live weekly calls. And I need to declare an interest here having been a member of EC since it was founded back in 2010.

Nigel starts by sharing the fear he felt as he gave up a multi-six figure income in the corporate world to start a business in his back bedroom.
I then pick his brains on some of the business models he's used to grow million pound businesses with limited start-up capital. One of which went from zero to a million in just 21 days!

I was at one of the first events he held back in 2010 when 50 of us met in the club house of a golf course. Today Nigel gets 1200 people to his big events. He explains how he uses events to drive business profitability.

Nigel talks about the key skills he has used to grow his businesses and how he delegates everything else with the result that he has no exit strategy because he doesn't want to stop doing what he loves!
He also shares the ups and downs as he made money, spent money then realised that those nice people at HMRC wanted their share!

Every week he sends an email to EC members, usually a motivational piece at the start of the week. But last year there was a far more poignant message – the subject line was just ’18 more summers’. That was the age difference between him and the rock star Meatloaf who had just passed away. Nigel talks about how early in life he became aware of his mortality and how this has influenced his approach to life.

Finally Nigel shares the 3 key lessons he's learned in 20 years as a serial entrepreneur.
