    Hey its Ana here and I'm excited to share the next episode of the Entrepreneur in Flow Podcast where I interview accomplished entrepreneur, Jack Persey, founder of Autoaccessory Uk and Law undergraduate at the University of Portsmouth

    Jack Started a business in steering wheel wraps during his law degree with £300.00 in year 2 of his studies at the University of Portsmouth. During his industry sandwich year, he managed to establish and develop his business.

    Autoaccessorise UK produces made-to-measure steering wheel wraps for the hot hatch market and fits them directly to the client's vehicle at their own premises.

    Jack Persey identified a gap in the market for vehicles in the medium price market which could not purchase the steering wheel wraps at a lower cost point than that offered for more luxury cars.

    In his first year of Autoassesssory Uk he achieved £70k in sales and began turning a profit in his first year.

    Jack is an outstanding young entrepreneur, he Jack believes in the power of exceptional client servicing and ensuring his customers have an all-round superb experience.

    Hey its Ana here and I'm excited to share the next episode of the Entrepreneur in Flow Podcast where I interview accomplished entrepreneur, Andrew David

    founder of Methodworks Production Ltd. Film & Video Production.

    Initially studying all of the Sciences at college,  Andrew made a radical decision to drop out to reconsider his life's journey. He returned a year later and took Media Studies to embark on a path towards film production, believing that visual communication is a powerful tool that will continue to grow and expand. 

    The name and phrase of Methodworks was coined at the turn of the century as a guise for a project he was working on as part of his coursework. There was yet an indication of something bigger on the horizon yet the process of creating the name (which was more than just a name) was fundamental in seeding what would later become a deep philosophy. Following five years at college, Andrew began visualizing the company whilst studying a Bachelor of Arts in Film and Video Production at University.He understood the importance of organization and communication in both the creative and business processes and through freelance work, often noticed how companies were missing these important yet fundamental elements by simply not having the aligned methods and systems in place both internally and externally to the business. 

    He also noticed that a lot of established companies had lost sight of their own original purpose, what once made them unique, they'd lost their own vision. This sparked the birth of the Method.

     Continuing his studies with a Masters in Real Time Media Broadcasting, following his graduation, Andrew found a job in media research and so began building the foundations of the business whilst maintaining a full-time job.

     He borrowed money from a friend to purchase a professional broadcast camera, and from his bedroom with nothing more than a laptop and the Internet, he began freelancing and building the companies systems, drafting documents and creating a portfolio of work in the evenings and at weekends. As the philosophy began forming, branding became essential to identify the independent films Andrew was producing at University. The first logo, incorporating the name of the company, was to look like handwritten chalk on a chalkboard, with the joining of the M and W to represent the flow of

    Have an awesome week and I urge you to accept my invitation to listen to the next episode of the Entrepreneur in Flow Podcast.

    How are you feeling today?

    Take that one moment to answer that question for yourself.

    Give yourself 20 minutes every day for your personal development.

    Today I am so excited to share a chapter from my book Embrace and Value Your Difference.

    It’s a powerful chapter on filters

    Our brains receive millions of pieces of information from the day we are born. How does the brain process all these different influences?

    We can receive two billion pieces of information through our five5 senses every second. ( reference needed) These senses include your sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste, and form our Representational Systems Some of the information received gets filtered out and you don’t process all of it. However, it is important to recognize that some people experience more than others and that we are all different and unique. Taste and smell are not multi-dimensional and don’t affect the language we use but sight (the visual) and hearing (the auditory) do impact our language. Have you ever noticed how some people use visual words when they communicate? This could be through written texts, emails, or spoken in conversations. Our eyes see what is going on around us and we convey the information from our eyes into images that we can process, experience, and retain in our memories. In a similar way, we process what we smell, hear, touch, and taste and we use those senses to help us store information. In this chapter, I am going to tell you all about how our filters function to affect our thinking and behaviour. 

    I will do this by introducing you to some of the most recognisable filters and how they appear in our communication with others. 

    I really hope you value the knowledge and is assists you to think about crucial parts of communication in business such as negotiation, building teams, training, brand consistency, selling new products and services and marketing.
