KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Since a child, Jay always learnt how to create and make his own money. It built the foundations for his journey into entrepreneurship and business.
• Jay decided to focus on the manufacturing recruitment niche, to allow him to focus and scale fast.
• Look at your potential clients/customers pain points and fix them for them. This gives you an edge over your competitors. Look at gaps in your industry where you can make a difference.
• As a small business, you can be adaptable and easily differentiate yourself. You can’t always be better than your competitors, but you can easily be different.
• Sales and marketing should always be the two things you focus on first. If they aren’t driving the business, then you won’t be able to scale.
• Don’t waste time on tasks that don’t add revenue. As a business owner your focus should be on revenue-generating tasks or that grow the business. Anything else is a distraction.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If I want to be successful, I need to go into a market that was booming…scalability was there’
