Speaker (Tim Davies) recounts a career starting with 10 years in car sales, then joining a startup in the finance sector as a broker (intending to do commercial and car finance) before returning to car-focused work and building a large team. He worked there for seven years, entered management, and found value in a business-owners club where he—being an employee among owners—learned practical business-startup advice.

10 years.

Seven years.

So my journey really started in car sales for the first 10 years, and then I went and started with a relatively new startup in the finance sector, doing finance brokering. And I was going to do commercial finance and car finance, but I then slipped back into cars again and we ended up building a really big team. Worked there for seven years, and at that point I was going through the stage of management. We were part of a club, and most of the people within that club were business owners like yourself. And I was one of the only people that was actually employed that was going there. So I got a lot of value listening to other business owners and being told every month, when you're starting a business, James.
