In this episode, we sit down with Sean McPheat, founder and CEO of MTD Training, for one of the most brutally honest, emotionally raw, and strategically revealing conversations about what it really takes to survive 25 years in business, why a Tony Robbins weekend walking across hot coals convinced him to quit his £100k corporate job at age 29, and why most people fail in entrepreneurship because they go into it half pregnant instead of fully committing to the fight.
We reveal why just because you're good at something doesn't mean you'll be good at leading a business doing that thing, why decorators and painters are brilliant at their craft but terrible at answering emails and sending invoices, and why the acid test question for entrepreneurship is whether you want to be old looking back with regret about all the things you didn't do. Sean leaves us with one powerful piece of advice: don't go into business ownership half arsed or half pregnant because you've really got to go all in, build up a treasure chest of savings to give yourself a couple of months runway, and question the shit out of your decision before you burn the bridges.
