ALB#032 – Apple v Samsung, and is Jeff Bezos REALLY an evil b*****d?

In this episode:

John tells us why he decided to switch from Apple, just two months before the launch of the iPhone X, and why he’s already regretting it – this is more than just another “Apple v Android” war of words though – there’s some real business lessons in there.

This month’s book of the month was “The Everything Store” by Brad Stone, which looks at the meteoric rise of Jeff Bezos, and Amazon.com, which leads John to the conclusion that “he’s a bit of an evil b*****d really isn’t he?”

Jason once again tells us how simple running a successful business is – and it all comes down to doing “what you say you’re going to do.”

John shares some of his strategies for curing overwhelm (“getting rid of your phone” is one of them, though that may simply related to his Samsung woes this month)

John also tells us what he learnt meeting Charlie Mullins, the “millionaire plumber” from Pimlico Plumbers last month.

Could you DOUBLE your business 1% at a time?

Could you grow your business by just 1% this week? That doesn’t sound too hard, does it? Well, if you could grow your business by just 1% every week, after 69 weeks, you’d have DOUBLED your business!

These 1% gains are the same techniques used by the British Cycling Team that helped them turn a bunch of “also-rans” into world beaters, notching up forty-two medals in the last four Olympics, as well as winning six of the last seven Tour De France races.

The One Percent Club will show you EXACTLY how to implement these 1% gains into your business, and how they can stack up to REALLY grow your business.

John released his first book “Big Ideas… for Small Businesses” in 2017, and it shot straight to the #1 bestseller list for Small Business and Entrepreneurship on Amazon, outselling books by Richard Branson, Alan Sugar and Duncan Bannatyne combined.

Since then, it’s sold thousands and thousands of copies all over the world, and attracted more than 100 five-star reviews. But more importantly, it’s changed the lives of small business owners all over the world, who now understand that running a lifestyle business isn’t a bad thing.
