'All killer and no filler' - Entrepreneur shares his secrets for success in 90 second podcasts

Steve Witt: "These are the tried and tested methods I have used to build my multi-million pound businesses and now you can get them all for free.”

Entrepreneur Steve Witt has packed a lot into his 45 years.

He started his first business at just 16.

Then built and sold a multi-million pound business during the dotcom boom.

And is now the Co-Founder of UK travel giant – and Dorset-based – Not Just Travel and its sister company, The Travel Franchise.

Oh, and did we mention that he’s also been a firefighter and a champion windsurfer?

But above all, he’s passionate about helping others to become entrepreneurs and create their own businesses – breaking free of the 9 to 5 mindset.

Which is why Steve this week launched the 90 Second Business Secrets podcast.

It does what it says on the tin.

Offering tips you can actually use in 90 seconds or less to grow your business.

With a large back catalogue now live – and a new podcast every day – Steve says budding entrepreneurs will have a free success guide in their pocket.

The podcast can be found on all podcast platforms.

Steve said: “Business doesn’t need to be a complicated mystery.

“In fact, it’s very simple.

“We just have a habit of overcomplicating it.

“Most success can be boiled down to a simple set of actions but –  most importantly – the results of the actions.

“The 90 Second Business Secrets podcast highlights the actions we need to take.

“The ones we need to do less of and the results we need to be looking for.

“In fact, one of the most powerful tools is the concept of ‘plan, do, review.’

“Once you are doing that, simply add the concept of ‘constant and never-ending improvement.’

“That way you have a blueprint for success – in business and in life.

“I’m telling entrepreneurs what they actually need to do.

“These are the gems of information you need to start, grow and develop a multi-million pound business, honed over my 20+ years of success as an entrepreneur.

“This podcast is all killer and no filler.

“It’s for people that just want the answers and don’t want to have to trawl through to find the useful information.

“These are the tried and tested methods I have used to build my multi-million pound businesses and now you can get them all for free.”

From his very first business at just 16, Steve always had an entrepreneurial spirit.

As an early adopter of the internet, he created one of the first web design companies in the UK.

At that time there were only about 250,000 users in the UK.

Steve went on to help change the way we all use the internet today.

With his business partner, he created one of the first subscription-based internet services in the UK with fixed monthly fees and no call charges.

And then a new shopping marketplace called ShoppingUK, long before Amazon launched its Marketplace.

The success continued as Steve went on to create UKDomains, one of the UK’s largest virtual web hosting companies.

It was later sold for a significant but undisclosed sum of money.

Together with his business partner Paul Harrison, pictured, Steve has since created one the UK’s largest and fastest growing home based travel companies – Not Just Travel and sister franchise arm The Travel Franchise

Its consultants sell hundreds of millions of pounds worth of holidays around the world.

Through their joint experience, Steve and Paul have helped train thousands of entrepreneurs to create their own businesses.

Following his brother Robin’s diagnosis with a rare form of early-onset dementia, Steve, who lives in Bournemouth, has been determined to raise awareness about the condition and its devastating impact on young people.

This includes helping to raise tens of thousands for charity and speaking out about the rare and misunderstood condition.

Sadly Robin, pictured right and who was one of Not just Travel’s original founders, died on Christmas Eve 2020.

He was 46.

Steve is determined to make a difference.

He said: “I don’t believe anyone has any limitations, there’s a solution to every problem.

“Say ‘yes’ and work out the details later – it works.”
