Guy Kingston’s Summary
I am an entrepreneur at heart, who just happens to find himself producing and presenting engaging and innovative shows for fellow entrepreneurs and business owners.
As well as a being an occasional campaign publicist, I am also an award-winning public speaker. I talk on a wide range of subjects covering business start-up and development to my time as a free market pioneer of the wild-east that was post-communist Russia.
I am not interested in boasting of success, but in sharing some of the things I have learned in my business life throughout the world: analysing the challenges we all face – how we deal with them, how we learn from them, and how they can actually lead to success.
My aim is to develop that elusive quality, sometimes known as “business savvy”, which, far more than any formal education, separates the successful entrepreneur from the rest.
My emphasis is on the practical. My interest is in how to be an entrepreneur – and sustain success.
