Here we had a chat with Stuart to learn more about his journey as an entrepreneur.
Tell us a little more about your journey as an entrepreneur – how did you get started? What inspired you?
Stuart: As an entrepreneur, I have always had a passion for exploring new business ideas. From a young age, I was fascinated by the concept of entrepreneurship and constantly came up with innovative ideas such as starting a bin cleaning business, a mobile billboard company, and an online gift registry. While many of these ventures did not turn out as successful as I had hoped, some of them proved to be incredibly successful.
Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, my father played a crucial role in shaping my mindset. He always encouraged me to think outside the box and never felt restricted by the idea that something couldn’t be done. His constant support and belief in me gave me the confidence to pursue my ideas without hesitation.
In high school, I discovered my interest in web design and animation. After graduation, I immediately sought out opportunities to work for design studios and gain real-world experience. It was during this time that I began to brainstorm various online business ideas.
However, it wasn’t until I stumbled upon the concept of digital marketing that everything fell into place. I realized that many businesses were struggling to attract customers and desperately wanted their phones to ring. This sparked an idea – why not offer my services as a digital marketer to help these businesses reach their target audience?
With this realization, I dove headfirst into the world of digital marketing and honed my skills through trial and error. Along the way, I faced challenges and setbacks but remained determined to succeed.
Today, as a successful entrepreneur in the field of digital marketing, I am grateful for all of the failures and successes that have shaped me into who I am today. My entrepreneurial journey has been filled with ups and downs, but it has taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, innovation, and taking risks. And most importantly, it has shown me that anything is possible if you have the courage to believe in your ideas and “have a go.”
What entrepreneurial tricks have you discovered to keep you focused and productive?
Stuart: I utilize a project management tool that informs me of the tasks that must be accomplished on a daily basis. As a result, my day is primarily dedicated to completing these tasks, as failure to do so would deem my day unsuccessful. Being prone to distraction, I rely on such tools to keep me focused and productive.
How do you stay organized with such a busy schedule?
Stuart: My inclination is to take on an excessive number of tasks due to my desire for them to be completed according to my specific standards. However, I now have a highly competent team and as a result, I make a conscious effort to ask myself, “Am I the only one in the company capable of completing this task?” If the answer is no, I delegate it to someone else. This approach allows me to concentrate on enhancing the overall business rather than becoming bogged down in unnecessary tasks.
If you were to write a book about yourself, what would you name it?
Stuart: I would name it “Failing Forward: My Path to a Successful Digital Marketing Business.”
What motivates you?
Stuart: Even though our company is very successful and provides a fantastic lifestyle for us I really don’t care about money. I come from a very humble home and I have really been very poor for most of my life so I’m very comfortable with very little.
These days I have a beautiful daughter and so I go to work to provide for her and to set an example that you can be successful and make money honestly and while be proud of what you do.
What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made?
Stuart: Spending money on staff who can take over tasks from me. It’s expensive but it allows you to buy back your time and spend it doing things other than working. That is invaluable to me.
What key activities would you recommend entrepreneurs invest their time in?
Stuart: Truly understanding the problem that you are solving for your target audience, and if there’s actually enough value in that solution to justify your business.
What is your ‘one-sentence’ piece of advice you’d like to give to someone who wants to become an entrepreneur, coach, or business owner?
Stuart: It’s hard work and full of failures but when it works it’s worth it. Nothing beats being the captain of your own ship.
