The latest Risky Business Breakfast featured an electrifying talk from Dave Fishwick, the self-made millionaire and man behind the Bank of Dave. With his trademark energy and no-nonsense wisdom, Fishwick shared invaluable insights into what it truly takes to succeed in business, and in life.
His message was clear: hard work breeds luck. Fishwick emphasised that the harder you work, the more opportunities seem to come your way. He spoke candidly about the power of resilience and resourcefulness, urging entrepreneurs never to give up, even in the face of failure.
Another key takeaway? Choosing the right spouse matters. Fishwick credited much of his success to having a supportive partner, Nicola Fishwick, highlighting how the right relationships can be a foundation for long-term success.
Through stories of his own journey - building a business from scratch and taking on the banking system - Fishwick showcased the unyielding entrepreneurial spirit that has defined his career. His words left the audience inspired to take on challenges with determination, grit and hopefully a willingness to create their own luck.
