Tom Hall - A life of risk and a heart attack at the ballet

We met Tom at his very nice house in London. It's really nice! He shared his experiences in business and in life. He shared how he's changed and how his motivations have changed. What I like most about Tom is his ability to focus but never lose sight of the bigger picture including a super-skill in bringing his wide circle of friends and colleagues together. We talked about :How Miami Vice provided him with a focus on money Taking two companies public Having a rocket scientist for a DadTom, the 10 year old entrepreneurWhy he chose a job over universityBeing the worst salesman of the month and the shame of fishing in Oxford StreetHow mistakes helped him grow a thicker skinMoving to Hong Kong in May 1989 and how a salary allowed him to focus on rugbyPlaying international rugby for Hong Kong  His belief in luck and why he sees a fortune teller once a yearHaving nothing when he was sued personally for £3.5 million dollars, 3 weeks after getting married Borrowing £3.5 million USD from a friend with no obvious way of repaying the loanOn the 18 hour days that led Tom to repay the loan within 2.5 yearsFloating Playtech in 2005 and what it was like to lose 40% of the value overnightHow he took his company private having only just taken it publicThe importance of goal-setting What happened when Daddy was asked to sign his daughters contract to spend time with her and not his computer Pretending to his wife he wasn't suffering a heart-attack whilst at the balletWaking up to the value of time   The benefits of learning to say "no".Working with friendsThe joys of a shared experienceWhy experiences are a better motivation than moneyhttps://www.success.com/tony-robbins-goals/https://youtu.be/XOiK5abM3AYhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bup-khVHNln/https://portal.navglobal.com/
