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.
18 Year Old Entrepreneur | Building a Property Portfolio | Growing Simul Place & Sugar Sugar Events & RTM.
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
