From Early Hustles to Ambitious Goals: My Journey So Far Hi everyone, I’m Jack Chesworth, an 18 year old entrepreneur from Worcester Park, South London. I’m on a relentless journey to achieve time, location, and financial freedom, and I’d like to share a bit about how it all began and where it’s heading. My first venture started in Year 11 with a marketing agency I co-founded with a friend. We didn’t turn it into a million-pound success, but the lessons I learned were invaluable. The thrill of building something from scratch and putting myself out there sparked a fire in me that still burns today. Failure wasn’t a setback it was my first real teacher. After that, I started a small business connecting estate agents with construction companies for maintenance jobs. Cold calling agents and negotiating deals taught me the art of persistence and communication. However, I got sidetracked, trading my vision for freedom with 6 a.m. starts in a van and long days on site. It was a humbling experience that taught me a valuable lesson: stay aligned with your goals and don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. During this time, I joined David Lloyd gym, which became more than just a fitness spot—it became a place to network and exchange ideas. That’s where I met Jayden, Jayden Hutchings an entrepreneur and visionary behind Simul Place, a private members workspace and weekend bar/private event venue. Despite being just 18, my drive, energy, and fresh perspective stood out to Jayden. He saw value in collaborating with someone who could bring bold ideas, creativity, and a hunger to learn. It’s a privilege to work alongside him, and I’m proud to be part of his mission to grow Simul Place into new locations. Together, we’re also working to take Sugar Sugar Events, including Wimbledon Summer Sessions, to new heights, breaking records in ticket sales and charity fundraising. What’s most exciting is a new venture we’re starting, a resource platform to share raw insights into entrepreneurship, the challenges faced, and how young business minds can grow through failure and perseverance. For me, this is just the beginning. My ultimate dream is to step into the world of property development, but for now, I’m focused on taking each opportunity as it comes, learning, and compounding my daily habits to build the life I envision. If you’re a fellow entrepreneur, dreamer, or someone passionate about growth, let’s connect. I’d love to share ideas, collaborate, and learn from your journey too! #Entrepreneurship #Networking #YoungEntrepreneurs #BusinessGrowth

Mentorship is a two-way street. Supporting Jack has taught me as much as it’s helped him grow. This young man is destined for greatness—mark my words. But let me ask you this: what does success truly mean? Someone once told me, "If you live your life ensuring someone else’s is okay, your own life will always be okay." That wisdom stuck with me. To me, success isn’t just about personal achievements; it’s about creating a ripple effect—helping others grow and, in turn, growing yourself. Bringing Jack on board hasn’t just been about teaching him; it’s reminded me of the value of small, consistent efforts. It’s the basics that often create the biggest shifts. One of the first lessons I shared with Jack was the importance of eye contact and a firm handshake—those seemingly small actions that leave a lasting impression. From there, we’ve focused on habits that build character and momentum: reading daily, journaling, and embracing the power of 1% improvements. These aren’t just tasks; they’re foundational to creating massive change over time. It’s been incredible to see how these principles are already shaping Jack’s approach to life and work. In a world often overshadowed by negativity, why not choose kindness? Why not strive to make an impact, knowing it can create a chain reaction of positivity and growth? Jack’s enthusiasm and willingness to learn have inspired fresh ideas within my team, and he’s a living example of why investing in people is so worthwhile. Jack, keep your mind open, your work ethic relentless, and your heart kind. Most importantly, embrace failure—it’s a stepping stone to the greatest lessons. Fail fast, learn faster, and never stop growing. I’m incredibly proud to have you on this journey, and I can’t wait to see what we’ll achieve together. Success isn’t just about the destination; it’s about the journey—and the people you bring along for the ride. And together, we’re proving that lifting others up is one of the truest measures of success.

Ever fantasized about seeing the world while doing what you love soly through entrepreneurship without a job? 🤩 I get it, it's a dream I hear a lot, especially from fellow entrepreneurs. Sounds pretty awesome, right? 😎 Building a business is a wild ride, no doubt. Don't believe the social media gurus & software engineers who joined established companies later on and preach about work life balance... 😂 In the beginning, it's all about finding that sweet spot between your big dreams, taking practical steps, moving the needle forward and keeping your relationships strong, because you will work when others go out and party all the time and hitting up conferences and all that other time consuming stuff, it will be though at the start but is essential for gaining momentum. ☺️ You need to be in it to win it if you have big dreams. 😂 If you want to build something truly unique, you gotta push those boundaries and embrace the unknown and be fearless. But remember, creating a fast growing tech startup is a whole different ballgame than starting something local like a bakery or podcast we're there is existing demand for your product. That's we're the whole solving a problem as a entrepreneur comes in. 😅 Each path needs different skills and know how. Don't be shy about looking for grants or pitching your ideas to investors, they're there to help! 🚀 Hitting that $1 million revenue mark? That's when things get interesting in my opinion. You can start handing off tasks and enjoying a bit more freedom. But until then, it's all about putting in the work and staying focused on your dreams. 😌 But let's be real, those early days? It's pure hustle. 😌 No magic tricks, magic bullet, just a whole lot of passion and self believe while things can also be a bit isolating... 😜 Building from scratch takes time, especially when you're figuring out funding and dealing with red tape. It's not always smooth sailing, but those setbacks? They teach you a ton about yourself. And every small win is worth celebrating! 🍀 One thing to keep in mind: funding often sets the pace. You can't jump to Series A funding without meeting the requirements. Start with pre-seed funding, accelerators, grants, or even bootstrapping for small dreams. If you've got big dreams, consider a corporate structure from the get-go and sometimes this is even a requirement. It's great to dream big, but success often comes from a combination of vision, hard work, and a strategic approach to overcoming challenges and it comes with a price that you can not easily calculate before you start. This price is not always monetary. It can include personal sacrifices, sleepless nights, strained relationships, and missed opportunities. Be patient, but stay focused on your goals. 😎 #entrepreneurlife #travelgoals #sidehustle #digitalnomad #workfromanywhere #lifelonglearner #communityovercompetition #neverstopdreaming #letsdothis #Entrepreneur #Tech #SoftwareEngineer

Are you tired of the daily grind but feel stuck in your 9-5 job with no way out? Do you dream of escaping the rat race but have no idea how to turn those dreams into a reality? If so, then the Partner & Profit program may just be the solution you’ve been looking for. This breakthrough partnership opportunity allows anyone to claim a share of the profits from a proven seven-figure online business – without having to lift a finger to build, run or maintain it themselves. The creator of the program has already generated over $425,000 from just one of their many successful ventures, and now they’re opening the door for others to share in that success. But how is this possible, you may ask? And how can something that sounds too good to be true actually be legitimate? Well, keep reading to discover the story behind how this revolutionary program came to be and all it has to offer eager entrepreneurs like yourself. You’ll also learn why so many others just like you have already cut their ties with the 9-5 grind and replaced it with a newfound lifestyle of freedom. The Rocky Road to Success Most people who achieve great success have a story of struggles and failures that shaped them along the way. The creator of the Partner & Profit program is no different. After hitting rock bottom financially while pursuing their dreams of entrepreneurship, they were on the verge of giving up when a chance meeting with an old friend changed everything. This friend had already found success in the tech startup world, having created companies that sold for millions. He saw the potential in our creator and took them under his wing, schooling them in the strategies that built his own fortune. They worked tirelessly to apply these lessons, launching 27 different business ideas with complete failure. But they refused to give up, learning from each mistake. Then one fateful night, a sudden realization struck while waiting in a coffee shop – everyone around them was obsessively checking their phones, but for what? An entire hidden digital economy was thriving before their eyes on these very devices. All they needed was a way to tap into it. After a marathon coding session against all odds, their persistence finally paid off with their first breakthrough. Since then, they’ve gone on to help thousands achieve the kind of lifestyle financial freedom that was once only a dream. Their story proves that with the right strategies and never-say-die attitude, anyone truly can transform their circumstances regardless of background or prior experiences. Now they’re ready to empower others to join them. A Proven System That Delivers Real Results While the story behind the Partner & Profit program is inspiring, what really matters is whether it can deliver on its promises. The proof is in the results – and there are many shining examples of people just like you who have seen real success. Just take Kevin, a small business owner who was working 80

I’m sitting on a plane to New York City, reflecting on this wild journey called entrepreneurship. One of the biggest mistakes I’ve made as a founder is thinking I was alone. When things got tough, I turned inward instead of reaching out to people who had been through it. That mindset almost broke me. Year 5 of business has been a challenge (more on that later), but this year, something changed. 1. My mindset 2. My people —and the impact of that is bigger than I can even see right now. Last year, I woke up every day expecting the worst, and sure enough, that’s how things went. But this January, I knew something had to change, so I flipped the switch. Now, even when things get tough, I hold onto a mantra that Suzy Murtha-Joeckel Ⓥ 🌱 shared with me: "Borrow my confidence in you." This year, I feel it in every part of me—OXB is going to be bigger and better than ever, and I believe in this business with my whole heart. The biggest difference? My circle. I’ve chosen to surround myself with positive, supportive people—mostly fellow entrepreneurs. I’ve sought out mentors who get it. I never want to feel alone again. The truth is, none of us have to. We’re all in this together, way more alike than different. In June, I came across Dream Ventures on Instagram—a group of women all hustling to grow their businesses, looking for investment, and believing in what they’re building. Led by Kelley Arena and Annie Evans, it just felt right. One of my best (and maybe worst?) traits is that I go all in when my gut tells me to. So I did. And now, here I am, flying to NYC to celebrate finishing the program. Last week, I made the top 5 of our virtual pitch competition, and tomorrow, I’ll be pitching live to investors, angels, VCs, and my peers—for the first time ever. Special shoutout to the Power To Pitch, Kat Weaver and Katie Dunn for helping me prepare for tomorrow. No matter what happens, this is a win. These moments make you stop, look back, and realize how far you’ve come. I've had many cheerleaders this year, and I'm borrowing all of their confidence. I’m proud of the Laura on this plane. This is just the start, and I can’t wait to see where OXB Sweatproof Jewelry goes from here. Keep going. #EntrepreneurLife #FounderJourney #DreamVentures #PitchDay #WomenInBusiness #OXB #CelebrateTheHustle

Hi I'm Isabella and I don't come from nothing... Are entrepreneurs born from scarcity or legacy? It's a common narrative: the scrappy entrepreneur, rising from adversity to conquer the world. But what if your story doesn't quite fit that mould? Today, over a coffee with Max Buchan (a mentor of mine), I reflected on his first ever question to me. He asked 'Where does your drive come from?' My initial response felt pretty rubbish in comparison to his journey. No dramatic backstory, no struggle from rags to riches. I am super grateful to have grown up in leafy Sussex surrounded by stability, comfort and went to a school that costs more per year than the average yearly salary in London - now knowing what that means I'm quite shocked at that 😳 Yet, rather bizarrely, I'm fuelled by a hunger for growth, driven by a legacy rather than adversity. My great-grandfather's rags-to-riches saga has been a red thread weaving through my childhood, igniting a curiosity and ambition in me. It's crazy to me that he built one of the largest service businesses in the UK starting from cleaning windows. No education. No cash. Had loads of kids (free labour), and learnt how to built a sick SaaS (before it was cool) business out of need - he couldn't pay the rent. Sure before now I've had my fair share of rollercoaster ups, downs, fundraises, and going to £0. But at the end of the day, after £0, I could always go home. Thats a huge privilege. I see founders like Jamie Laing of Candy Kittens (McVitie's) try to distance themselves from their family heritage. And on the reverse side - brothers Kit Gammell Mike Gammell founders of SURREAL & Days be super open about their background, they put it on a billboard, but got toasted by the public. The only answer I have for this is that the drive for entrepreneurship can stem from a genetic predisposition, as well as environment? It doesn't seem to be talked about much? Everyone on Linkedin is too busy posting about burnout and leadership for the 100th time 🙃 I can't help but think despite all the privileges, you are statistically more likely to become a super successful founder if you felt scarcity growing up. Entrepreneurs are creatures of scarcity. We thrive in the absence, the lack—the void. It's not the scarcity of resources but the scarcity of limitations on our imagination that propels us forward. So what is it founders are driven by? Nature or nurture.

Update: The game is now 52% funded, so over half way there. If you are a supporter of small businesses, you can help launch a career. More info about the project at https://lnkd.in/eZA9BnyK We have another entrepreneur in the family. With advice and guidance from The Prince's Trust, yesterday saw the launch of a very cheekily named, but brilliantly ruthless card game by a young entrepreneur. Knowing at first hand how hard it is to set up a small business and get it off the ground, to manage the downs the ups, the set backs, the moments of triumph. I have been so impressed with the determination shown, the one step at a time approach, the attention to detail and the commitment to quality, the feel the fear, which at times can be overwhelming, and it do it anyway. Each achievement gives you confidence, each set back makes you doubt. You work harder than you ever thought possible, and then you work some more. Only years later do you look back and realise how far you have come, how things that once were impossible and terrifying, you now do with ease, without thinking, everyday. So design and development complete, playtesting undertaken, feedback analysed and refinements made, the game, Shat on a Cat (I said it was a cheeky name!) is on Kickstarter. A new entrepreneur takes his first big step into the world of business and the journey begins. If you are a small business owner take a moment to remember how it felt to step into the unknown, then look how far you have come. We have done, and are doing well. Bravo for the self employed and good luck to the young entrepreneur. https://lnkd.in/eZA9BnyK Women in Business Networking Drew Patel Emmerse Studios Ltd Dan Moriarty Emily Alexander Emma Mills, Marketing, Content and Website Specialist Gavin Costigan Geraldine Witt The Goodwood Group Helen Cartwright Women in Business Networking Hampshire Business Networking Hampshire Business Networking The Prince’s Trust England Young Entrepreneur Marketplace Beverley Poole Business Builder Business South #Smallbusiness #Youngentrepreneur #selfemployed #princestrust #supportsmallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #creative #game #cardgame #newgames #kickstarter StartUp Disruptors™️ - Online Entrepreneurship Education #selfemployment #smallbusinessowners #Hampshire #gaming #Hampshire

Embarking on the entrepreneurial journey is similar to charting your own course through the vast, unpredictable ocean of business. It's not just about the destination but the countless waves you ride, the storms you weather, and the discoveries you make about yourself along the way. Let me share my voyage with you, a testament to the belief that every setback is just a setup for a comeback. My adventure began at 19, with a foray into the real estate sector. It was exhilarating, diving into the deep end so young, navigating through deals, learning the ropes. Yet, by 22, I found myself grappling with a harsh reality—the entire empire I’d started to build crumbled before my eyes. It was a pivotal moment, one that could have marked the end but instead, it carved a path for resilience. By 25, I’d flipped the script, literally. Flipping 30 homes, I ventured into the world of apartment acquisitions, a rebound that felt like sweet redemption. But the rollercoaster didn’t stop there. At 28, the very partners I trusted, the ones I thought shared my vision, ripped me off, leaving me to pick up the pieces once more. Undeterred and seeking a fresh start, I moved to California, where I began to build an Airbnb business from the ground up. This wasn’t just a new business venture; it was a reinvention, a challenge to myself to rise from the ashes yet again. And rise I did, learning, growing, and expanding my horizons. Eight years into this California dream, I launched Freewyld—my true calling, the reason I believe every step of this journey was destined. Freewyld isn’t just a business; it’s a culmination of every lesson learned, every loss endured, and every victory celebrated. It represents the essence of entrepreneurship—resilience, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of one's passions. To my fellow dreamers and doers, let this story be a reminder that the path of entrepreneurship is rarely linear. It’s fraught with challenges, yes, but each obstacle is an opportunity for growth. Your journey will be unique, marked by its highs and lows, successes and failures. What matters most is not the setbacks but how you choose to move forward, how you evolve, and how you remain true to your vision. Here's to embracing the unknown, learning from every twist and turn, and finding your Freewyld. May your entrepreneurial journey be as rich and rewarding as the process of discovery itself. Here's to building businesses and lives full of passion, purpose, and perseverance. #befree #livewyld
