Intro - Who, What And Why To Listen To The Zero to 100 Show

Who are we? what is the Zero to 100 Show all about? And Why are doing it? Listen in as all is explained. We're Tony & Sharlene (there was no less corny way of opening this sentence). We're a husband and wife power team who, today, are happy & successful Black business owners. BUT it wasn't always so….. Both of us were born and raised in South London (Croydon). If you're black and from an inner city, you probably know that comes with challenges! Put it this way, neither of us were born into money or privilege. We actually both had some turbulence in our later teens but ended up with pretty good corporate jobs and a nice "normal" life. But somewhere in our mid-20s, that glass ceiling they put over us – the one that limits our prospects and earnings just wasn't gonna cut it anymore. That moment when you realise you want more hit us both and so, we left those stable 9-5 jobs to pursue our dreams. And we did. Even though we didn't have mentors or family to guide or invest in us, we've made money, opened multiple locations, been able to provide jobs, and even appeared on the One Show with Alan Sugar! Lol. Pure hunger and a determination to succeed got us those wins. But the sad truth is hunger and determination isn't enough. We've failed more than we've succeeded. Man, have we struggled – sometimes publicly but even more privately. We've lost everything, sold everything, slept on a mattress on the floor of a rented room, had a car repossessed, dodged the debt collectors (a lot) and been homeless. We've literally had NOTHING. You know the saying "sick and tired of being sick and tired". Eventually after trying & failing over and over, we got there. But give thanks, we don't quit. And give thanks for the failures. During those experiences, we've spent 1000s of hours studying successful people, learning their success tactics & getting pretty good at the game…. What happened in between is what we'll share on this podcast but let's just say, when we were finally sick and tired of being sick and tired, we took our last £70 and everything we had learned to start a new business. In 12 months, that new business generated over 6 figures and today…. We are completely financially independent. We are able to live off the salary we pay ourselves from our business without working & whilst travelling the world. Last year, we were able to get married in a castle in the South of France and pay for it all ourselves without any debt! That was a big deal for us! Every setback is a set up for a come up for true. We struggled. We learned. We overcame. And now we succeed. We genuinely want to share and support you in doing exactly the same. Everything we have done can be done by you also. We're gonna show you how. If it kills us, we're gonna help you achieve your goals the same way we've been able to achieve ours. Let's do this! Love & Progress xx
