He Lost £45 Million In 90 Days. Then Built It All Again.

If you asked Matt Haycox in June 2008 how life was going, he would have told you: “everything was tickety-boo”. Just months after, the business empire he’d spent years building was gone. His credit score had gone from 999 to being bankrupt and living in a rented house. Most people never recover from losing everything. Matt did.​​In this episode of The Hidden Code, I sit down with entrepreneur, investor and lender Matt Haycox, to talk about what really happens when success disappears and why rebuilding is an entirely different skill from building. What’s even more striking is that Matt didn’t recoil from his loss. He became even more daring and started taking bigger bets after losing it all. He is now a successful investor and lender who has funded businesses worth nearly £1 billion.​​Matt has experienced entrepreneurship from both sides of the table, as someone who needed capital and as someone who now provides it. He has experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows, giving him a depth of insight only a few entrepreneurs possess. ​​We talked about:​Why some entrepreneurs rebuild stronger after failure, while others never recover.​How to elevate your chances of risk in business into valuable opportunities. ​The hidden differences between entrepreneurs who rebuild and those who never do. ​Why Dubai is one of the best places in the world to build a business and where does it still fall short​How can Dubai address gaps in business financing for small scale businesses and entrepreneurs. ​Why networking matters in business than the idea itself. ​​If you are building a business or even trying to rebuild one, this conversation will change the way you think about risk, money and losses. ​​Connect with Matt Haycox:​ https://matt-haycox.com/​Connect with Jigar Sagar:​ https://www.jigarsagar.com/ ​​Listen to The Hidden Code on:​Spotify​Apple Podcasts​YouTube​​#MattHaycox #Entrepreneurship #Business #Dubai #BusinessGrowth #Fundraising #Leadership #TheHiddenCode #JigarSagar
