Lightbulb Moment 29: The ultimate equation for success, with Rowan Gormley, founder of Naked Wines and CEO of Majestic Wine
When it comes to business, we’re taught from the very first day that profit is the core measurement for success. But what if Holly, Rowan Gormley and even Richard Branson told you you were wrong?
When Holly met with Rowan Gormley, founder of Naked Wines and CEO of Majestic Wine, she was completely captivated by not only his fascinating business journey but also his wisdom. Rowan was headhunted personally by Sir Richard Branson, and shares with Holly, the key equation that he learnt from Richard when it comes to running a successful business – and here’s a hint: it’s not based on sales.
This sparked a lightbulb moment for Holly as she shares her own personal experiences of only wanting to surround herself with loyal and lifelong friends, and so why would customers be any different?
Here, Holly reveals why business can’t be learnt from a textbook, and instead explains how you should retrain the way you think about achieving success – just like Rowan and Sir Richard Branson have done.
