Mark Wright- BBC's Apprentice Champion, £173 Into £10,000,000

The Steven Sulley Study Podcast

Mark Wright is the co-founder (with Lord Alan Sugar) of digital marketing agency, Climb Online, having been crowned champion on BBC's The Apprentice, and winning a life-changing contract that has since turned him into a multi-millionaire. Mark has also gone on to be named Entrepreneur Of The Year in 2018, and one of Forbes 30 Under 30, staking his claim as one of the most visionary and innovative business minds currently operating in the world.

Mark joins Steven for the second time to talk about how life has changed since their last conversation, how fatherhood has shifted his perspective, how he turned a simple £173 into a ten figure fortune, and why the power of sales should be a primary lesson for any entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you aspire to being in a place in the world, you have to insert yourself whether you're invited or not. Put yourself in the place you wish to end up.
• Money is all very well, but the real power comes from the profile boost you gain when you hit true success. When people know who you are, it makes life far easier.
• Never chase money. Don't make it your mission in life. Chase what makes you happy and gives you purpose. You'll live a far happier life, and money will come as a byproduct.
• There's a huge link between the mindsets required by professional sportsmen and successful business operators. They all need resilience, discipline, focus and purpose.

BEST MOMENTS

'The PR from that show was ridiculous'

'Don't chase the money - the money will come'

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
