Bob has enjoyed 100% launch success returning over $1 billion to his investors. He’s founded six companies, sold four and is still running two.

He’s grown two startups to $100m and $156m in sales in 5 years and 3 years respectively.

During our conversation, Bob explains

• The vital importance of having a crystal clear vision for your company and what the 11 elements of a successful vision are that comprise what he calls his Vision Pie.
• The main reasons that startups fail (the most important one accounts for 42% of failures) - and what you should do to avoid being one of them!
• When the data confirm that only 1 in 400 companies secure funding, he shares his evidence-based reasons for this and explains how to ensure that you are one of the companies that do get funded (it's not about your pitch deck!)

Bob has also kindly provided the Bulletproof Entrepreneur audience with access to several valuable resources - see the links below.
