How to build a £250 MILLION business & buy a football club 🤯 | Perspectives
By the age of 29 years old, Harry Hugo is more or less living every young boy’s dream. 🤩 After selling his influencer marketing business for millions, he invested in his local football club, Farnham Town, and is now chairman of the club. ⚽️
Harry co-founded The Goat Agency along with two of his best friends in 2015. 🤝 The company went on to become a worldwide leader in influencer marketing, turning over £250 million annually. 💵
Harry was about to spend £197,400 on a Ferrari, 😳 when his friends persuaded him to buy a football club instead. He invested in Farnham Town and since then has led the club to achieve new heights. 👏 One promotion, 170 goals in a season & a 58 game unbeaten league run - Farnham town are on the rise. 📈
Harry tells us his story from the very start, gives his advice for entrepreneurs out there & tells us all about his experience of running a football club. 👏
