Yegi: 0:00

[intro] Hey beauty lovers  and fellow entrepreneurs. I'm Yegi,   the owner and founder of Yegi Beauty.  Within five years of being my own boss,   I was able to grow Yegi Beauty into  a multi-million dollar company.   This podcast is where I share what it takes to be  a successful entrepreneur in the beauty industry. Hello hello hello everyone welcome  back to The Yegi Project. Today we have   Chris and Ben joining us from the UK and they're  gonna let us know about their two businesses that   they currently started and are running so please  gentlemen if you can introduce yourself give our   audience a little bit of a preview of what you  guys do and why you decided to go on your own.

Ben: 0:46

Yeah so my name's Ben

Chris: 0:48

And my name's Chris

Ben: 0:50

And we're 19 year old entrepreneurs  based in the north east of England in a   small con a town called Darlington  and a little about our businesses.

Chris: 0:57

So we'll start off so I mainly focus on the  car side which is called the business is called   parkland automobiles and we specialize in modern  classics sort of like mazda mx-5s and bmw z3s.

Ben: 1:10

And I focus solely on the property portfolio  so we've got eight properties at the moment   and we utilize a creative acquisition  strategy to provide mutually beneficial   deal structures for vendors  landlords and homeowners   and that is the business in itself so  that's the two that we run at the moment.

Yegi: 1:26

Awesome and how long have you  guys been doing these two businesses?

Ben: 1:31

So we Chris and I came together in May  2021 uh so just over 14 months now so yeah.

Chris: 1:40

So we started we started the property  business around that sort of time Ben was uh   Ben was focusing on that and then we've  started we've actually set up a limited   company with the cars as well but that was a  bit later on that was December/January of 2022.

Yegi: 1:58

Awesome so normally the real estate  business and the car specially used cars   industry is pretty hard to get into just on your  own a lot of times people work under a company   or they really are kind of struck as being stuck  as being employees for these um uh big I guess   industries. It is hard to kind of make it on  your own so what sparked you guys is interest   and what are your kind of goals with trying  to do the real estate and the used cars deal?

Ben: 2:31

So I think it all started in school really  um and I know it's definitely especially in the   UK it's seen as an older generation type  of business for property uh so it's a lot   more like yeah the typical old grey-haired  landlord that you see not typical 19 year old   um so it was mainly just because upon research  you always seem to see the wealthy invest in   real estate and it's just it's a common asset for  them to invest in and just park their money in   and just sort of get the recurring income so  it's something I just immersed myself into   and I believe you know I'm gonna stick at this  and see how I can get in there at a young age.

Chris: 3:05

And yeah with the cars I think well me and  Ben both but specifically me uh because I started   selling the cars I've just always had a passion  with cars if it's been watching them driving games   or whatever and then when it actually came to it  I thought how can I make money out of a passion   and I just really put myself in the deep end  and I just thought yeah I'll try and buy a car   and I'll make some money on it and it's exactly  what I did and it's all just flown from there.

Yegi: 3:32

Oh I love that so you made   what you love to do you made it into  a way you can earn revenue doing it.

Chris: 3:39

of course yeah Ben: exactly that.

Yegi: 3:41

Now um I love that that's all we're  about on this podcast it's all about   enjoying what you do making money along  the side and and like um you said been   seeing the opportunity of  what the market needs as well   and kind of getting outside of that norm and  cookie cutter approach and doing our own thing   and that's why I love having all sorts of guests  on this podcast to share their story and and   and spread kind of the encouragement for young  entrepreneurs to to see that you know this is   something you really want to do even as a 19 year  old you can get up and get started right. Now um   there is a big challenge into doing something on  your own and getting started as an entrepreneur so   for you guys what were some of the um doubts  or or challenges that you face starting out?

Ben: 4:31

I think especially um within property there's  so many moving parts and there's a lot of sort of   barriers to begin with because a lot of people at  this age I don't want to sort of stereotype but   they do- don't take it sort of seriously at this  age especially in an older generational industry   and but I think you just have to push past  that and there's always going to be rejection   everywhere you go and just because I'm 19  it may be a bit more difficult than than   usual but it shouldn't hold me back whatsoever  and so I thought I'd just fully commit to it.

Chris: 5:02

And yeah also similar with the cars I think  age is a very big thing in there specifically when   it comes to actually selling the car now a lot of  people that come to buy of the car that's a lot of   their money and uh it's pretty hard for some of  them to put all their trust and all their money   into into buying a car with a 19 year old so yeah.

Yegi: 5:24

So how do you guys look past that? How  do you try to not let that get in your way   or to have you come up with strategies to  kind of not not make your age a highlight of   you know the deals that you're making  with the real estate or the cars?

Ben: 5:41

Definitely and I think maturity has to be a  big thing I think you definitely have to approach   every scenario with maturity because if you if you  don't lack - which if you lack maturity then they   will see you straight through it and a lot of  people when we spoke although we do have pretty   baby faces they don't think of us as 19 year olds  especially in conversation and especially over the   phone and a lot of like the business ventures that  I do is via the phone and some of them don't even   meet me to be fair so which is even better for  me because they won't see my age and but yeah.

Chris: 6:11

And also I think confidence and knowledge  is a very big thing because if you hold the facts   and you show someone about the  car they obviously have a bit more   understanding and trust actually in you because -

Yegi: 6:24

And trust in you

Ben: 6:25

Yeah

Yegi: 6:25

they probably trust you more you know  what you're talking about and you know what   you're doing that's definitely a big selling  point and I actually faced the same challenges   when I started out too um not a lot of people  know but I think I was actually 19 years old   when I had kind of my big grown-up job and it  was to be a student advisor and counselor for   graduate and undergraduate students which my  students and some people were like way older   than me that I was advising them on what to do  with their lives and their careers and it was   hard for me to kind of see myself as that but  I think for me what helped too because I was   a lot of face to face with people what I did  is like you said know what I'm talking about   dress the part act the part really just carry  yourself and don't let that kind of be in your   head right just look past that and I feel like it  worked well for me too if I'm if I look past that   the people in front of me also looked past that  and they didn't second guess what I was saying.

Ben: 7:25

Definitely just just to sort of agree  with that it's definitely a solid foundation of   knowledge that you'll need in order to give that  confidence in them and I think it's just major   anything you want to get into or any industry it's  always just it begins with education and building   that knowledge base so you can portray that image  across to anyone you're doing business with.

Yegi: 7:43

Okay so another fun question actually  just to get to know you guys a little bit   better I ask a lot of my guests this question  and it's not related to what you do but just an   outlook on the world - if there was one  thing if you had like a magic wand and you   can change one thing in the world what would  it be? And it doesn't it could be anything.

Ben: 8:02

I'll let you go first so I can take a minute.

Yegi: 8:06

Take a minute to think about this one.

Chris: 8:08

I think it's a bit of a weird one  and I wouldn't really think of myself   saying this but I think especially with  how we've seen social media and other stuff   generally perceptions about us I wish that  there was a lot more positivity in the world   I think there's definitely in this current  age it's very pessimistic world and we've   we've seen that in a vast array  from all our social medias.

Yegi: 8:29

Definitely I agree with that one too  I'm all about trying to spread the positive   possib spread the positivity and change our  mindset and outlook on things and you know try to   really get past all the negative media.

Ben: 8:44

Definitely and I think it's sort of  I think I don't know because it's always   going to be around you to stop and obviously  everyone's in the world but I think it's it   we need to sort of look look upon sort of the  life differently and not keep up with the joneses   because I think that's there's too much in society  where people are trying to impress others that   they may not necessarily even like  which is how the rat race is really uh   created to be honest get stuck with bills  overheads because they're trying to impress others   I think that should be yeah if I supposed to  take it out of the world if that made any sense.

Yegi: 9:17

I love that I love those answers I  love how differently everybody answers but   wow definitely two big issues that would make  the world a much happier place if it was solved   um but thank you for sharing that now going back  to being entrepreneurs so if somebody wanted   to get started in real estate or a um used cars  sales business what advice would you give them as   somebody who's interested in the  industry and has no idea what to expect?

Ben: 9:46

So the first thing I'd say with anything that  you want to get into is set a goal and what you   want to actually achieve because that'll break it  down to what potentially what industry you want to   get into or what strategy because there's so many  different strategies and sort of ventures within a   certain industry like for cars there's you can  you can like become a franchise you can sell   certain types of cars or you could just become a  used car dealer. Within property there's so many   different strategies as well and so it really does  come down to your reason why in setting a goal   and then you can break it down so I think that  is definitely step one for anything to be honest.

Yegi: 10:21

How did you guys get together  into supporting each other with these   businesses because it seems like each of you  really focus on one side of the business or on   one business right and then you guys support  each other through this process and that's what   it seems like and I actually love that because  I I'm big on holding people accountable so if   you do have a peer who's going to kind of budge  in be like hey did you get this done it's more   likely that the person's gonna get it done so how  did this partnership get started for you guys?

Chris: 10:53

Uh well it's a bit  of a bit of a weird one -

Ben: 10:56

It's a long story as well

Chris: 10:57

Yeah it's very long story we covered it  on our podcast, but basically I was focusing on   the cars and Ben was focusing on the properties  and we were very good mates at school and then   we just messaged each other about how we were  doing in general and all that other stuff and   it all just came down to one meeting at  a mcdonald's near us and we just said   let's team up and let's see where this can go.

Yegi: 11:20

I love that well I do wish you guys a  mountain of success and it looks like you guys   have a good partnership so that's very very  impressive and very difficult in business so   um actually going into that has there been  any challenges between you guys if you agree   on a certain thing or disagree on how you run a  certain part of it because I know a lot of people   are kind of get afraid and me myself  too I was always afraid to get into   a business with a partner or even a  friend because that could be kind of   a reason why you know things go south because you  always hear you know you don't mix friends with   business but what are some of the pros  and cons of that in your relationship?

Ben: 12:01

Yeah and in sort of the second that as well  I think my family's big on don't don't get into   business with family but with me and Chris because  we've got such a strong bond since secondary   school it just made sense and it seemed right at  the time and of course I'd still keep the same. We   do dispute on certain things I wouldn't say it's  not really decision making though is it like -

Chris: 12:20

No

Ben: 12:20

It's not in terms of decisions  it's sort of just certain roles and   responsibilities I think that's  the only other disputes we've had   but never decisions I think we always  agree we've got a pretty similar outlook.

Chris: 12:30

Yeah definitely Yegi: That's great And what I think is brilliant about us is  I think Ben's so disciplined and hardworking in   what he does and sometimes I've maybe gone  a bit but he's just he's just always been   there and he always checks up and he always  brings the accountability back so if I ever   am sort of lacking or if I'm not doing what  I'm supposed to be doing Ben's always there to   tell me yeah you should be doing that or this  is how you can improve in that way as well.

Ben: 12:54

And it's and it's a bit easier because if it  was sort of just a joint venture partner that we   met and we didn't know each other for that long  it'd be much more difficult approach to sort of   push in the right direction without taking it the  wrong way and having egos to be like sort of hurt   and but because of the bond it just it's  we we can do it and yeah not follow.

Yegi: 13:12

Yeah so what I take away from that  and from my experience too I've noticed   as long as you have a good relationship and set  some ground rules of who's responsible for what   area it usually works better but I think a  good practice for some people out there too   would be just literally sit down and break down  the different aspects of the business because a   lot of times when people have disagreements about  a certain area that's when it can get challenging   if you guys don't agree so you've been very lucky  that you guys see eye to eye and you agree on on   most of everything but for some people I um just  for our listeners out there what has worked for   other um partners is literally sit down and be  like okay this is your responsibility this is   mine we run things by each other but at the end  of the day if we don't agree on a certain area   if this is my area then I get the last word last  say in it and if this is your area you get the   last word and last say and we're happy about it  because that is like a system we set in place   from the beginning so um I'm definitely impressed  with your friendship and I think that's another   um thing to take into account for our listeners  out there too is you want to take time and   build a relationship and a bond with your  partner before jumping into business together   to make sure that you're gonna get along um uh  and have the same vision for what you're doing.

Ben: 14:35

Definitely and and a lot of people do mention  that within in within ah I can't speak within the   industry because you sort of it's like you're  getting they use the phrase that you're getting   into the bed with that person so you really need  to be careful because they're going to be on your   credit file for that long if anything was to  happen if like bankruptcy anything like that   you really do need to be careful and sort of put  your research in beforehand if you don't have that   bond with them before and because me and Chris  as I say know known each other like for so long   we are we already know we didn't need to do that  but definitely don't rush into into any business   ventures uh with a joint venture partner if you  haven't put the sort of ground working beforehand.

Yegi: 15:13

Now for um for people who usually  have nine to five jobs or regular day-to-day   um uh um responsibilities with their work   it's interesting for them to see like what does  a day in your life look like as entrepreneurs?   Like how does your typical day look like or are  your days totally different from one another?

Ben: 15:33

So it's actually funny you say that so  I'll let Chris go first but his is very sort   of with with the cars it's always fluctuating  and mine's very structured but I'll let you.

Chris: 15:42

Yeah so for example at the moment  we've got uh we've got a few cars on the go   and obviously not every day but uh a lot of say  if I do have someone that wants to view the car   I've got to put some prep in before it comes  make sure it looks good make sure it drives   well and then once they come I do the viewing I'm  as respectful as I am and then if they end up do   buying it that's good if not oh well uh back to  the drawing board uh but also we are very we're   starting to get very big on social medias with  all of our work right on there so we we we're   putting out a lot of content on instagram  youtube tick tok and facebook so a lot of my   time at the moment is is doing that and there's  also some updates but what about yourself Ben.

Ben: 16:26

And yeah I think in in terms of the property  I can be very structured so I always have it and I   think it's the way my mind just it just triggers  if I if I get out of routine I don't like it   so I always wake up at the same  time work out at the same time   and then get into certain activities whether that  be marketing sort of cold calls social media it's   always sort of similar times in the day and just  so I feel like it works for me and you've got   to find what works best for you well I think  that works for me yeah just continue to do so.

Yegi: 16:55

Yeah definitely a routine works for me too  my all every single one of my day looks different   but having some sort of sort of a routine per  day of the week is is very important for me   to make sure I get the most done in my day I  feel like if I personally don't have a routine   either or at least have like my checklist  for that day of the week I'm less productive   and it's hard right as entrepreneurs nobody's  gonna be on top of you nobody's gonna tell you   hey did you do this did you do that no one's gonna  make sure you get everything that you can get done   so it's up to you to keep up with your load and  and and that's kind of the beauty and also kind   of the curse of being an entrepreneur if you guys  agree is that no one's gonna hold you accountable.   So that's a good thing about partnerships so you  guys hold each other accountable but for most   entrepreneurs unless you are a self-starter and  motivated and push yourself um it's gonna be hard   to be successful. Now actually talking about  motivation and getting you know self-started   what are some strategies you guys use because  I know for myself too I have days where I don't   feel like doing anything you know I might be  discouraged because something's not going the   way I want it to go what are some motivating  factors that you guys use to kind of push   yourself up and be like okay no like I'm gonna  pick up the phone and do some more cold calls or   I'm gonna make some more content for social  media at least you know to get the ball rolling?

Ben: 18:20

I'll let you go first.

Chris: 18:21

Yeah well I think I think motivation  is definitely a factor there but I don't think   it's only a very short-term boost so I  think habits in what we do as we said   with routines as well I think that's one  of the main ways to keep ourselves going.

Ben: 18:34

And as well the main motivator is because  yes we've got two of the two businesses at the   moment but we've got so many like sort  of things in the pipeline some - plates   I really can't speak some plates spinning in  the background and a lot more ventures to come   so I think because this is only it is  a very long-term thing with these two   businesses but what the intention is to  systemize and then move on to the next thing   so once we get to where we want with these  goals then move on on forward so there's   so many things we can't we don't really  want to be demotivated and take time off.

Yegi: 19:07

Okay so one when you were speaking  with one of uh what the producer and you   guys were asking kind of quite she was asking  some questions she mentioned that you guys   um learned from past mistakes in the  industry did you guys want to share   more about that story of what happened  there or do you have anything to add?

Chris: 19:25

Yeah so I think with cars it's  obviously a lot different with the property   but a lot of with what I've had to do I've found  out myself it's not really research from other   people people can tell you stuff but you don't  really learn from it until you actually do it   so normally a lot of the time it's  come from actually buying the car   and then I'll have found out actually a few days  later this has happened and I didn't think it   was there before the car and it's so annoying  but what happens yeah but you make sure you you   add that to a checklist and you make sure that  when you're looking at a new car in the future   that you go through all the checklists and make  sure that that car is perfect when you buy it.

Yegi: 20:06

So you constantly are evolving your system  basically like you said you're adding new items to   your checklist to make sure you don't miss it next  time so anytime something happens you're using it   as a learning experience to grow and do it better  the next time right you're not using it to get   discouraged oh you know I messed up I didn't check  and the check engine lights came on a week later.

Chris: 20:29

yeah, yeah 100 percent yeah

Yegi: 20:32

Cause that has happened to me actually when  we bought cars I'm a big fan of buying used cars   I think you get more value from them so that has  happened to us and we've definitely learned from   our mistakes it'd be nice to have you know  expert and get advice before buying it and I   think that's where you guys come in too right  you want to build that trust where people can   trust you that whatever car used car they're gonna  get from you they're gonna it's gonna be reliable.

Chris: 20:58

Yeah definitely and I think as well  with young people that's a very massive thing   I think older people generally know a  lot more about cars and they're a lot   more experienced but with young people  they're a lot more scared of buying it   and we want to kind of install that  knowledge within the younger generation.

Yegi: 21:14

Yeah so speaking of building trust now  are you doing anything specific with your   branding in order for people to um know that  they can trust you with this aspect of it   because I know it's a tricky thing to do with a  business um but I was wondering if you have any   strategies or any advice for for other people who  are trying to kind of set that message that hey   you know I'm reliable I'm trustworthy do you  think there's something you're doing now that   you're sending out that message or is it going  to be time and experience and word of mouth?

Ben: 21:50

I think it's definitely a mix of both because  obviously the more track record you've got the   more time the more trust you gain automatically  and but a major thing especially when you're   starting out is to always document the journey  online so what me and Chris Chris do is always   sort of the concealers on the camera where I was  speaking whenever whenever on social media because   especially in the modern age it's so easy to get  a nice looking professional website but there's no   trust behind it you can't see anyone and people  invest in people and people buy from people so   they need to really trust you your brand  and then sort of read into you as well.

Yegi: 22:22

Exactly so you're putting your face in your  trust and your guarantee behind it as a person   you're building that one-on-one connection.

Ben: 22:30

Definitely like more of a personal  brand as well as a business brand well.

Yegi: 22:35

Um that's great that was most of my  questions and related to your business now is   there any um last kind of word of encouragement  you would give our young entrepreneur listeners   out there actually let's talk a little bit about  the kind of elephant in the room always when it   comes to starting your business. I think it's  a huge one and it's kind of difficult to talk   about and I know I'm gonna spring this on  you guys a little bit but I'm curious to see   what answers you have for me but it's  the financial aspect of it right. So   whenever you're starting a business  you can have great ideas you can have   great motivation you can have um you know the the  work ethic and even sometimes the customers but   it's hard to get the financing in the beginning  for those startup costs or just kind of get you   by um until money keeps you know coming in -  what what was your experience with that and or   currently your experience and what  have you done to secure some funding?

Ben: 23:34

I think majorly and I preach it all the  time and all of the word is delayed gratification   so me and Chris we were both in in full-time  employment as well as doing the businesses on   the side until we could we could eventually  leave so every month rather than spending   sort of enjoying time with friends going out  and just like partying and stuff like that   we were always just saving money and putting  it to the side putting it into the business.

Yegi: 23:56

Wow that's hard to do as a young men

Chris: 24:03

Yeah it is yeah

Yegi: 24:03

Definitely have to do the sacrifice right so  later on you can you can get all the benefits from   taking the savings and putting it into business  compared to going out and spending all the money.

Ben: 24:16

Definitely I think as well with  sort of profits per month as well in the   business we always just reinvest we don't  we don't take anything out we don't pull   pull any any capital out we always  just reinvest every month a month.

Yegi: 24:27

And that's great advice um now as far as   uh your current point have you guys already  been able to um stop doing your regular jobs   and fully invest in your own businesses or  you're still kind of trying to get there?

Ben: 24:43

So yeah we fully we've  fully left employment now um   and Chris is focusing solely on the cars so I'm  on the property and they're merging together.

Yegi: 24:52

That's exciting congratulations that's  a big one that's really difficult to finally   you know take that leap and put your 100 percent  time and energy into your own business it's scary.

Chris: 25:06

Yeah definitely yeah.

Yegi: 25:08

Was there any um any hesitation at first  or you guys were like no we're ready we have   money coming in I'm just gonna put my full  full force behind my own business right now?

Ben: 25:19

So I think on that and I made a post about  it um I think it was yesterday it's solely   and I preach it staying stay in your nine to five  um as long as possible because I've noticed a lot   of the younger generation especially you always  want to find the answer to leave the job quickly   and I don't think that's right because there's so  many cash flow issues especially in a start-up and   you always need that secure income and the only  time I'd say I'd recommend to leave your job is   just when your schedule tells you to do so when  you physically have no more time to put into it   and exactly with Chris he was the exact same  couldn't physically put any more time into it.

Yegi: 25:52

Okay I love that that's great advice  now well thank you so much for sharing I   know that's always a tricky conversation to have  when it comes to finances and starting a business   um but any last word of advice or  encouragement for our listeners?

Chris: 26:09

I think you've just got to get yourself out  there honestly uh a lot of people procrastinate   with it whether it's actually going out there and  meeting people in the industry networking I think   the main one nowadays is is also social media.  Now a lot of people are scared to actually do what   they really want to do on social media because  of like society and we we felt that with our very   first post but as soon as we started uploading  more and more content it's just become normal.

Ben: 26:41

It's just second nature isn't it?

Chris: 26:42

And we don't have any regrets in business  and I wouldn't really say this is a regret either.

Yegi: 26:46

It's almost like building the habit  of posting or being true to yourself.

Ben: 26:51

Yeah it's as Chris was just gonna say  as well I think the only regret regret sort   of thing is not getting on social media soon  enough I think that that would be the main   main thing we would probably agree on.

Chris: 27:02

Yeah definitely even though it  was only it had only been like six months   before whatever but even that time we could  have got even more bigger on social media.

Yegi: 27:11

Well you know it's never too late and  everybody has their time and like you said no   regrets you just wish you did that but moving  forward I feel like everything has a timing it   you probably were trying to find your exact you  know niche or what you want to do so I think   everything happens for a reason so maybe when you  got into it it was the best time to get into it.

Chris: 27:33

of course yeah.

Yegi: 27:34

Um all right so can you tell  everyone where they can find you   give us a clear um spelling of your  social media your website and all   of that good information but we'll  also link all the information below.

Ben: 27:47

Perfect so I'll start because I'll forget  so looking at mine up - so my instagram is   @benpickering03 um and my facebook is Ben  Pickering so I'll let Chris say the socials.

Chris: 27:57

Yeah so so for my instagram it's  @chrishughes2003 and then my facebook is   Chris Hughes and then we've got a TikTok which  is @adayinthelifeofchrisandben and then we've   got a youtube which only "Chris and Ben" so  we'll send you all the links and there's a few.

Yegi: 28:12

And we'll make sure we display all of  it on the screen and underneath so people can   can take a screenshot and  go search for your names.
