Inspiration Is What Drives The World Forward - with Charlie Mullins

Steven talks to Charlie Mullins OBE, the founder of Pimlico Plumbers, London’s largest independent plumbing company.
Charlie talks candidly about what drives him, how he's achieved incredible feats in the world of business, the importance of inspiration on the next generation of entrepreneurs, and the personal philosophies that have seen him rise to become one of Britain's most successful and recognisable businessmen.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
When we see others doing well, it lights the fire inside us - the fire that spurs us onwards on our own journeys into business and life. Inspiration is what drives others to succeed.
The world out there is more level than it's ever been. If you have a dream then the only thing holding you back from chasing it is yourself.
If you have the drive and ambition to set up a business and take it to the top, you have to realise that it doesn't come easily. You must be prepared to work hard and be in it for the long haul.
It can be hard to sometimes switch from the trade of the business itself, to the running of the business. But you need to believe in the people you’ve chosen to represent you out there. Trust is everything. Learning to delegate is very important.

'I believe that these are the people who drive the world forward'

The Steven Sulley Study       
ABOUT THE HOST
The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.
As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.
My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
