EP11: Rules for making it in business, entrepreneurship, and leadership, with James Sinclair
James “Jimbo” Sinclair launched his first business when he was just 15 years old and from his Nan’s spare room, and has since gone on to build an entertainment empire.
Employing over 300 staff, and with a forecast turnover of £10M+ in 2017, James Sinclair owns a series of play centres, childrens nurseries and entertainment farms.
He has recently co-founded the Entrepreneurs Network with Mark Creaser which has attracted over 200 business owners as members within the first 3 months of it’s inception.
An accomplished speaker, James is regularly invited to present to business audiences across the UK.
Along the way to his £10M turnover business he has produced a set of practical rules that apply to any aspiring entrepreneur from startup to multi-million pound operation, and he shares these willingly during this interview on Escape The Rat Race Radio.
