Making Your Mark

By: Mark Mills

Narrated by: Thomas Cassidy

There are not many successful entrepreneurs who will enthusiastically break off in the middle of a multi-million pound deal to have a huge snowball fight in the car park with their finance director. But then, Mark Mills is not just any successful entrepreneur.

Whether organizing one of his infamous summer Christmas parties, flying to New York to find a new business idea, or staying up all night to celebrate a successful deal, Mark Mills has always believed in the absolute importance of having fun in business. And not just for him, but for his employees, customers, and suppliers, too.

His brilliantly unique approach has more than paid off. Mark’s infectious enthusiasm, relentless energy, can-do approach, and spirit of adventure have powered him to the very pinnacle of entrepreneurial success, both in his own businesses and by helping others to do the same in theirs. Over the years, he has won countless Entrepreneur of the Year awards and been asked to give speeches at prestigious events around the world about his achievements.

Making Your Mark tells the fascinating and entertaining story of Mark’s extraordinary success in business from selling broken biscuits at the age of eight through his early years selling everything from payphones to post boxes to his outstanding success creating Cardpoint, the cash machine business he founded at the age of 29 which, at its peak, was valued at £170 million.

But just as importantly, it also tells the story of Mark’s disasters along the way, about the times when things went badly wrong, and when failure was more often the outcome than success.

Along the way, Mark shares his unique golden rules on how to achieve your own success in business, from learning how to think like an entrepreneur to creating a good business model and from understanding how to build a strong team to learning how to communicate effectively.
