What an interesting character we have on this week’s episode. Brent Grundy has actually been branded “The Man Who Tried Everything” and as you will hear from the interview, it’s a title he richly deserves! Brent’s most successful venture is Flip Out International: a global children’s play business that spread from Sydney to 87 locations worldwide in just 6 years. Brent keeps going back to the point that failure is something to be cherished and used to empower your next move - he has a very interesting take on things. See some of Brent’s top tips below:  To get ahead you’ve got to find a problem and create a solution.  You don’t need to be the smartest guy in the room - you just have to hire that guy.  If something doesn’t work, stop doing it! Don’t dwell - move onto the next thing.  Every time you lose you still gain something. You may lose money in the short term but this loss may empower you to make big money in future.  Cheap lawyers can cost you the most! Invest in your legal team to make sure you are properly protected.  Work out what your skills are and play to them. If you’re and entrepreneurial risk-taker, don’t assume that you’ll be a good manager of the day to day.  You don’t learn a lesson until it becomes really painful, i.e. losing money. In this episode of Business Brain Food you will learn:  How Brent overcame ADD to succeed  The power of failure  How Brent became the man who tried everything  How a concept can snowball internationally if you get it right  The different types of person in business  What you need on the ground overseas to make an international business work Resources mentioned in this episode:  Do you think you have what it takes to become a Business Excelerator™ at Max My Profit?

248 – From idea to a global business in 2.5 years … Flip Out’s Brent Grundy explains how he did it.

Brent Grundy was a man with a simple business idea who built his empire from the ground up, and became living proof that someone can go from flat broke to running a business that turns over $32 million per year, in just 18 months. But Grundy’s road to success has been anything but smooth. An unfortunate but often present component of any success story is that of hardship or failure; and Brent Grundy’s story is no exception. After a major business setback, Grundy found himself in the unenviable position of helplessly watching on as his money, home and dreams disappeared before his eyes. With barely enough money to fill a fuel tank, he prepared himself to break the devastating news to his young family that they wouldn’t be celebrating Christmas that year; the down and out businessman had hit rock bottom. With nothing left to lose, he decided to accept his losses and turn his life around. With a renewed focus, Grundy was sitting in a play centre one day when staff told one of the older children that she was too big to play on the equipment. It was then that an idea came to him; to fill a gap in the entertainment market that caters to adults and children alike. Today, Grundy is the Founder and Chief Executive of Australia’s first and largest Trampolining franchise business, Flip Out, and his story continues on its way into the history books. Since opening 18 months ago Brent’s business has enjoyed unprecedented success. Flip Out has expanded to a whopping twenty-one sites across the country, employing over 350 people and drawing thousands of customers through its doors each day. Grundy’s accountant has said that in his 22 years of being in business, he has never witnessed an opportunity that allows the franchisee to recoup their initial investment within four to five months. The zealous businessman now has his sights set on global domination; currently building centres in Dubai, Brent expects to open in 13 more countries in the next year. He also plans to use profits to donate centres to Afghanistan and Cambodia by year’s end. In this interview you will learn:- What it feels like to have your company sold underneth you and come back even bigger and better- The importanace of systems and how to develop them in your business- What it takes to become a successful entrepreneur- How to develop a rock solid mindset where you can't lose- The franchising business, how it works and how to start- Secret growth strategies I Need Your Help! If you haven’t already, I would love if you could be awesome and take a minute to leave a quick rating and review of the podcast on iTunes by clicking on the link below.
