Manage episode 307661738 series 2920453
In this Episode Tony Hillary sold his UK based business after 30 years and when Tony said “That by the time I sold the business I wasn’t needed”.
And isn’t that how it should be?
There were a few things that struck me about this conversation with Tony Hillary.
First was Tony’s approach to solving problems. Not overthinking things and using his common sense. We could all do with a dose of that.
I know some people may say times have changed over the past 40 years, and that’s true, but I don’t think the fundamentals of business have.
Find great people, have a quality product or service, and value your customers.
That seems too obvious but to quote Tony, “Don’t overthink it”.
It do believe there is a common theme with success business owners and that’s the application of Leadership and Tony’s was based on a genuine desire, and dare I say humility, to find people better than him, make sure he trusted them, and then let them do their job.
So business needs good people and a sound business model, and then just do it.
Great advice from one who spent 30 years building a business that Scaled to Success.
