No one knows better than the Founder of Car Next Door, Will Davies, the concept of starting before you're ready. Launching as a 'lean startup' with a mission of breaking the 'One Person, One Car' mentality to reduce carbon emissions around the world, Will has learned everything he knows about business the hard way... and he wouldn't change a single thing.
Now with over 220,000 members, $34 MILLION paid to car owners, and investors on board such as Suncorp, Hyundai and Shark Tank's Steve Baxter, Will shares the invaluable lessons he learned from his business journey on this episode of The Make It Happen Show. Listen to how Will made it happen, from how he cold-called investors to get them on board, to managing the complexities of a growing team, and scaling hard and fast, there are so many pearls of wisdom in this ep. If you also want to change the world, or just change one issue affecting a small group of people, this is the podcast for you.
