Andrew Reynolds created a massive video montage to play out on the largest screen ever used indoors at the O2 Arena at his Entrepreneurs Bootcamp. Featuring news and events from across the decades, it set the scene for Andrew’s presentation on how someone from a background of poverty can rise up and become a self made Multi Millionaire and Philanthropist.

Andrew Reynolds: It’s kind of a celebration this weekend. Not only of what we’ve just seen but as you might have seen in some of my letters, this month is actually my birthday. The guys found an old Andrew Reynolds picture and we kind of looked back over the decades and you know it’s been a hell of a ride.

Andrew Reynolds: The power of excuses. I had every excuse possible; I got every good reason why I could justify to myself and my family why I wasn’t going to do this.

I was born in a caravan. I was born in relative poverty; my phone number data when they got together didn’t have any money. My father failed in business, my grandpa failed in business. On my maternal side my granddad, he was a great guy, he was a preacher in a local church. He ran a small building business, it went bust. But with his standard of morals all the people he owed money to he worked his socks off for the next few years and paid every single one of them back. But he went bust. I come from a long line of business failures, therefore it’s okay because I can justify to myself that I don’t need to be a success at business.

Me and my little brother, that’s woken him up. Me and my little brother, we went to school on the local council estate. Us Reynolds boys went into the system, we didn’t learn business stuff.

When I reached the age of 40 I had had enough, I took the decision to make a change in my life. I’ve got a friend of mine who is going through a similar thing at the moment; he is kind of around that age. He took himself off to some recluse thing for a couple of weeks, hid himself away for a couple of weeks.

I said “Where’ve you been?” He said “I’ve been off to find myself.”

Andrew Reynolds: Let me tell you, life is not about finding yourself, because you don’t know what you are, life is about creating yourself. Write it down, who do you want to be? You create the person that you want to be, that’s what I did 12 years ago. I decided who I wanted to be and I did it.
