Taking Care of Business

by Paul Cheetham-Karcz

Overview

Taking Care of Business takes you on a raw, real-life journey, showing you how to build a successful business whilst coping with the day-to-day trauma that often comes with it.

Paul Cheetham-Karcz is new to this success game, and that is why he feels now is the right time to share this no-holds-barred account of how he built one of the largest accountancy firms in the UK—the battle scars are still healing and the pain is still fresh!

Growing up from working-class roots, Paul knew from an early age that he wanted more from life than many of those around him, and he chose not to fall into the system of getting a job. Once he had trained as an accountant, it wasn't long before his entrepreneurial streak took hold, and he was soon building an enterprise of his own. Taking Care of Business is Paul's account of the ups and downs that he has experienced since.

Building a business is not for the faint-hearted and can be a lonely mission fraught with risks and scary moments. This book offers insight into the mindset and coping mechanisms required to get to the top, whilst delivering a step-by-step blueprint of how to start up and grow as an entrepreneur.

In this social media age, when we are bombarded with the message that it is easy to become a successful business owner almost overnight, Paul's honest and authentic account of the real struggle that's involved tells it as it is and lifts the lid on the get-rich-quick myth.

Paul’s main business, Sedulo, is one of the UK's leading finance companies, employing over 100 consultants nationwide and looking after an array of well-known corporate businesses as well as famous individuals from the world of television and sport. Paul is also a non-executive director of several businesses that have a combined turnover of circa £50m, and he produces his own podcast, "Taking Care of Business", where he interviews people from the world of Sedulo, showcasing their inspirational stories—some of which he has shared in this book.

If you are in the middle of "the struggle", Taking Care of Business is for you!

About the Author

Paul Cheetham-Karcz has just turned 40 years old and hails from Reddish, a working-class suburb in Stockport, Greater Manchester. He was educated at a local state school, where he was advised to become a mechanic and sent to a local garage for work experience. On his first day at the garage, even before lunch time, Paul had already decided that he was going to live his life differently. In his own words, you won't know who he is or the business he runs, which is why he believes now is the time to share his story-before the battle scars of building a business have healed. Paul is the managing partner of a business consultancy which employs over 100 people in Manchester, Leeds, and London, and his client base includes celebrities from the worlds of sport and entertainment. It's not been an easy ride, and as a result, he has had to learn how to deal with high levels of anxiety, amongst other mental issues, on an almost daily basis. When he is not closing deals, exploring new business opportunities or ensuring his firm and his clients are on track for future growth and success, Paul enjoys boxing, travel, and meditating-something he recommends for everyone. Paul is married to his soulmate, actress and business owner Zeriozha, and between them they have three sons.
