*My Key Takeaways*


Mike has been a hugely successful person with regards to his
business and I can tell through our conversation this too has
transpired into his personal life. In short, his success has been
built on hard work, honesty and communication. This is what he
shares in many different ways throughout our time together.


What Mike is passionate about and I know this can be a
controversial topic when it comes to the charity sector, is how
effective a business approach is when running a not for profit.
He explains in detail why, in his opinion, this works. For me,
what he says makes absolute logical sense.


The tool that Mike has found to be the most successful throughout
his business and charity work is definitely communication, every
time. Whether its employees, partners, beneficiaries or donors,
he has a strong belief that without this, success simply will not
be the result. He is very passionate about this piece and can‘t
seem to stress it enough.


He uses a great analogy about a train and where different people,
within what we’re trying to achieve, sit. My time with mike
reminded me that although it's never that simplistic, it is true
that there are a few simple rules for us to follow when we’re set
on growing something and although different things come into
play, those rules, our points of reference that keep us on track,
they’re invaluable.


What are your points of reference that let you know you’re where
you want to be? What’s unique about what you’re doing? Who’s on
your train and what are they doing there? Much food for thought!
