023 From 37p to £100m – Neville Wright’s lessons learnt, inspiring the next generation of entrepreneurs

Neville Wright is an Investor, Property Developer, Author & Public speaker who left school at 15 with dyslexia not knowing how to write his own name. Neville shares with me his journey spanning 4 decades and some of the incredible lessons he has learnt through his successes, failures and never ever giving up.

Up to the age of 24 Neville had a string of jobs….. after losing his 17th job in the recession he soon realised that he needed to become responsible for everything that happens in his life and with wife Marilyn started up in business with absolutely no money determined to provide for his family.

In his book “The Answer is Yes Now What is the Question“, he describes how he made this dream possible.

“I borrowed my father’s wooden ladder, Marilyn gave me a bucket that she had in the house and we bought a piece of scrim for 37p which is a piece of absorbent cloth, an essential piece of equipment for window cleaning.”

Neville become a millionaire by the age of 34 and now aged 67 when most people are wanting to retire, he is a mentor and motivational speaker encouraging people to believe in themselves and helping them to get everything they want in life.

Neville’s motivation to do this is knowing that having had no money, no education and no experience to succeed in life. he overcame this and believes that if he can do it, anyone can, no matter what their circumstances are.
