You do not realise you have placed such a low value on yourself.What really matters is what you believe about yourself and your capabilities.I looked at what I was good at; creating websites and a good skillset with computers.I used innovation to my advantage but I still didn't believe in myself.There is a misconception that if you have a business you are successful but if you have a lack of self-worth and you set up a business you charge very low prices because you don't believe you are worth anymore.Expert AppsI met my business partner Danny through our shared values.When it comes to loyalty in business you need someone with you in business who is going to stand with you.Expert Apps began with an idea about creating an industry-specific App for property investors but we have now developed Apps for other areas such as football and martial arts.You have to achieve a balance, when I was creating websites I knew I needed to change and was able to use my years of experience in business both negative and positive to in my new business.We have been able to create a company that now has an 8 figures value in less than 2 years. It's not an overnight success, the adversity I've overcome has made me who I am and enabled the success of our business.What matters is you and your journey, get comfortable with your life, yourself, who you are and then aim for greater. BEST MOMENTS‘I used innovation and ideas to create success'‘My sweet spot is building something that will change lives forever'‘I don't regret the challenges I've gone through it has made me stronger,  it helped me to consolidate my values and realise I liked who I am' VALUABLE RESOURCESLeader Manager Coach PodcastExpert Apps website ABOUT THE GUEST  Darren is CEO of Expert Apps, a Liverpool based UK tech company at the cutting edge of app technology and innovation.
