\u201cOur biggest breakthroughs come from things that don\u2019t work,\u201d says Welsh businessman David Sullivan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Chartered accountant, entrepreneur and business coach Simon Kallu wholeheartedly agrees with this statement. \u201cIf you are finding things difficult,\u201d he says, \u201cyou can use that struggle to find the solution.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

It took Simon time to find his calling, but once he did, he never looked back. Today, his accountancy firm <\/span>GrowFactor<\/span><\/a> is a seven-figure business that has helped over 500 experts to achieve financial freedom. Now, he is keen to use his fifteen years of experience to pass on his knowledge to budding coaches and entrepreneurs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Embrace Wrong Turns<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Entrepreneurship was not Simon Kallu\u2019s original plan. The chartered accountant envisaged a corporate career for himself, graduating top of his cohort at professional services firm KPMG. However, in every single one of his corporate jobs, the successful executive found himself\u00a0 unstimulated and uninspired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t built to climb the corporate, social ladder, and I really didn\u2019t like being told what to do!\u201d the entrepreneur candidly admits in his book, <\/span>Unleash Your Business Potential<\/span>. \u201cLike so many of you, I clock-watched all day and took no pleasure in being just another small cog in someone else\u2019s big wheel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Simon\u2019s \u2018lightbulb moment\u2019 came when he overheard his wife on the phone to her accountant, struggling to obtain an answer to a simple question about her income. Simon Kallu thus founded GrowFactor to help people like his wife master their finances, fulfill their business potential, and change their view of the accounting industry in the process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Play The Long Game<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

No matter how good the idea, building a business from the ground up is a difficult task. After all, as Simon reminds us, it took Steve Jobs twenty years to become a billionaire, and six years for Google to get off the ground and go public. It took <\/span>Simon Kallu<\/span><\/a> himself ten years to realise the full potential of his accounting firm GrowFactor.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cMost people overestimate what they can achieve in one year, and massively underestimate what they can achieve in 10,\u201d Simon explains. \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to have ambition and big targets, but it\u2019s important to remember that success doesn\u2019t often occur overnight. When you start a business, you have to be prepared to play the long game before you can eventually reap the results of your hard work.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cSuccessful people do the early mornings and the late nights,\u201d says Simon Kallu. \u201cThey put the work in and have the determination, commitment, courage and consistency needed to succeed.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The entrepreneur sets himself goals and works tirelessly to achieve them every single day. Only through hard work, motivation and determination was he able to get where he is today, living out his idea of success and financially free.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Invest In Yourself<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

As well as the will to grind, founding your own business requires seeking advice, mentorship, and investing in the right tools to succeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Simon is acutely aware of this. He reads every single day to learn new skills, regularly invests in tools such as PR and Marketing to grow his business, and always seeks the best people to partner with. Before he himself became a business coach, he sought advice from mentors and got coached by people he admired.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Now, the entrepreneur is passionate about using his years of experience, knowledge and business acumen to give back and help like-minded individuals to succeed. GrowFactor is focused on equipping Experts and Coaches with the right tools and knowledge to master their finances, grow their revenue and fulfill their business potential.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
