109: Tom Jarvis: Unlocking Business Potential: The Power of Autonomy and Focus
Every time I speak with Tom Jarvis, MD at Wilderness - The Social Media Agency, I leave feeling calm, inspired and bursting with ideas for my business and I know you will feel the same after you listen to his experience.
Tom's blend of success and humility shines through as he shares invaluable lessons from his entrepreneurial career
I could talk to him for hours.
Key discussion points:
- How a scorecard created structure and insight to measure success and focus on key areas for improvement
- The ability to identify a gap in the market and see the vision of what is needed
- Tom’s story of accidentally setting up an agency which he has now recently sold
- The significance of focus and self-awareness in driving business growth and achieving success.
- The benefits of creating a culture of autonomy and ownership
- Insights into the emotional aspects of selling a business and the lessons learned from such experiences
- How Tom defined his leadership style during the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to growth and resilience
- The advantages of having a young and dynamic leadership team
