The Dragons’ Stories: How They Made Their Millions Pt.4
It’s Peter Jones’ story next in the penultimate programme in this series. He made his money in the telecoms industry, but has gone on to become one the most high-profile businessmen in the UK.
The most interesting part of the programme was when they spoke about Peter’s business past. How he made it, lost it (ALL), and got it back. Similar to Donald Trump. Really Inspiring!
I hope it’s of use to all you budding entrepreneurs!

Peter Jones never forgot the Bounce Back basic rule. Everyone fails at something in their life–that’s just reality. But failure sets the stage for success. It’s like you said, Tim–remember The Donald! 13 years ago, people thought Trump was a chump betting against the house. When he was walking into the Trump Plaza one day, a tramp asked him for some change. “I’m broke,” the bum said. “That puts you about $1 billion in front of me” was Trump’s reply. 15 years ago, Trump was $960 million in debt. Now, he’s well over the same amount in the green! What was his secret? Vision. A real gambler never loses sight of winning, especially after a big loss. But vision without resources is a hallucination, so drive wisely. It’s always possible to get your shit back on track, knowing that a man with balls always bounces back.
Steve Jobs, another giant who bounced back to become bigger, better and stronger.
