John Caudwell Quotes

When my back’s to the wall, I want to fight Picture Quote #1

I believe in workers rights when people are doing a good job Picture Quote #1

My second business would have succeeded but for competitors’ jealousy. I was selling motorbike gear cheap, but the people I was undercutting complained to the manufacturer and cut off my supply. It showed me how corrupt business can be. When I sold phones, the same thing happened, but this time I was ready Picture Quote #1

My philosophy is very much to encourage my children to forge their own success and happiness, even though that will undoubtedly involve much more modest levels of wealth creation Picture Quote #1

At the end of the day, if you’ve got the great idea, and someone judges you’ve got the managerial capability, you’ll probably get the backing for it Picture Quote #1

The power of fear of failure, with will to win, is an incredible force. I don’t think we should be worried about having a fear of failure; I think it’s quite natural. If you surveyed any top businessman or any top athlete, I bet if they were truthful, they would all say they’ve got a fear of losing and a fear of failure Picture Quote #1

Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble Picture Quote #1

I realised I’ve got quite a talent for coming up with ideas for design. I’ve got so many ideas about fashion Picture Quote #1

Mine was quite a working-class childhood with very little money, and my father was out of work a couple of times, which had quite a traumatic effect Picture Quote #1

As the years passed, and I was nine, 10, 11 years old, it became obvious I was going to start up a business of some sort Picture Quote #1

Business gives you a massive high. Doing a great deal, coming up with an inspirational solution... It’s very addictive. But it doesn’t last long. In isolation, it’s a bit sterile. It doesn’t reward the soul Picture Quote #1

I was bullied at school for my red hair; today I still come out fighting hard. I give as good as I get. In business, it’s about finding solutions, not being rolled over Picture Quote #1

In any business opportunity, you’d be looking, probably, primarily at the risk and return. Some business can be very risky with a low return; what you want is the lowest risk with the biggest return Picture Quote #1

When the country’s indebtedness is so colossal and where the budget deficit is so huge, there is a moral obligation on people to pay their fair and reasonable dues Picture Quote #1

I will stay living in Staffordshire. Other people would be moving offshore. I am reasonably happy to help support the British economy. I have done very well out of Britain Picture Quote #1

I was only 21 when I bought a five-bedroom detached house in Stoke-on-Trent that was way outside of my financial status in life. I did it by borrowing money from my family and the bank, taking out a huge mortgage Picture Quote #1

Business is about being the best that you can be, and there are always glowing examples of people that we can all learn from Picture Quote #1

It’s important to show children love, affection and balance and invest time in their moral upbringing Picture Quote #1

I do not put my tastes as incredibly expensive, but they are incredibly expensive for an average man Picture Quote #1

Journalists like to say I started off sweeping the pottery floors. But it was just a short-lived part time job doing that after I left school Picture Quote #1

Really good customer service will deliver sales. You are training salesmen to give the best possible advice and then to achieve the sale. People actually like you to ask for a sale because it shows you value their business Picture Quote #1

When I came into the mobile phone business, I was really the upstart who pretty much took the business, not quite by storm, but really made an impact on it quite early on. But it was from a position, really, of feeling that I was a last mover Picture Quote #1
