Part 1 – The King of Outsourcing talks about his sensational journey
From realizing his desire to be an advisor at an early age to successfully running his own accounting and financial planning firm and then working enormous hours to create the sensational growth of TOA Global – a business that emerged from a service he needed himself and scaled it globally to nearly 2000 staff.
We catch up with Nick Sinclair, Founder of TOA Global as he shares:
- His journey with his first Financial Planning and Accounting firm ‘Wealthfarm’ from Zero to one of the largest planning businesses in Qld at the age of 20.
- His struggles using an outsourced provider and how he started a business from his own needs
- Realizing need to delegate in order to scale vs control
- Self Awareness, knowing your limits, having the right people on the bus and being organised with your time.
- Work/life balance with 2 growing businesses, taking care of his family and the need to take a break from work.
- Importance of learning from others – reading, coaching and mentoring
- Inspiring and caring for your people and how he attracts exceptional employees
“I’ve got a real thirst for learning, and I think one thing that I’ve learned over time is that everything I’m doing, someone else has done before. I just need to find either that person or that book or that podcast or that story, to learn from what they did that worked and what they did that didn’t work and then adapt it and mold it for my situation and what I’m doing.”
