What's your biggest business success to date?
After graduating as a dentist, I diligently saved a 20% deposit upon the acquisition of my first dental practice and invested every resource, leaving just £100 in my account, and dedicated myself to the practice. Over 15 months of unwavering dedication, the practice's valuation soared to an astounding £900,000—an exceptional growth of over five times its initial value.
I am enthusiastic about learning from one of the UK's most successful businessmen.
What's your biggest business fail?
Every setback I've encountered has, in hindsight, played a pivotal role in subsequent successes. However, one significant underestimation on my part was the timeline for completing the acquisition of a dental practice, which took 14 months. While this phase was demanding, it offered profound lessons in resilience and adaptability, and ultimately made me a better businessperson.
Tell us something about yourself.
My proficiency in body-popping has been a standout talent that paved my way to victory in numerous talent shows during my younger years (including a Britain’s Got Talent audition). This unique skill opened doors, leading to an exciting opportunity as an extra in a Disney TV show.
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
Presenting a product-based business plan to Lord Sugar, I aim to revolutionise the healthcare attire market. When executed adeptly, this approach has the potential to secure a substantial market share. I'm ready for the extensive learning ahead, understanding that I have much to gain, and a long yet rewarding journey ahead.
