'I dropped out of school and my family laughed at my failure – now my business is worth £70million'
“I’m from a family of teachers, so naturally the aspiration was for me to go to University and follow the education route, but I personally always knew that wasn’t right for me,” he says."I knew straight away education wasn’t for me and that was the first time in my life where I realised it’s OK to be different and not follow the route everyone else does.”Instead, Sean decided to carve out a career in sales - but wouldn’t let his lack of experience or further education get in the way.
“I found a good niche in software learning, built up a good client base - and eventually had the confidence to go off and set up a company on my own.” “I’ve genuinely stopped counting how many acquisition requests we’ve had, it’s getting ridiculous,” Sean says. "I’m still enjoying it and seeing it grow and the product is nowhere near finished yet. I genuinely want to be the biggest learning tech product in the industry.”
"While you naturally want to back yourself it’s also important to have a bit of realism when your ideas need work.Another top tip from Sean is to hire well and hire early, especially in sales and marketing.He also listens to a lot of business podcasts and says these are a great motivational resource.There's a lot to consider if you're thinking about starting your own business.
