In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with Neil Sweeney - entrepreneur, investor, EOS implementer and founder who went from living in a garage with his young family… to scaling two businesses and exited for multi-million pound sums.

Neil shares the unfiltered story of building his first company, Securo, from scratch with nothing but a credit card, pure grit and why he stripped his family life back to zero to make it happen.

We talk about:

• How Neil went from commercial property apprentice to multimillion-pound founder
• Why he moved his family into a garage for years to reduce overheads and take risks
• The exact moment he realised his business model could scale
• How he built Securo to acquisition, and what made his business buy-ready
• What really happens during due diligence
• Why the moment he sold he felt… nothing
• Life after exit, identity loss and the “now what?” moment every founder hits
• Why EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) is the most powerful framework for scaling a business
• How to run truly great meetings, create aligned leadership teams and stop chaos
• His next chapter: buying and scaling a 500-school photography business

This episode is raw, inspiring and painfully relatable for any founder who’s growing, scaling or dreaming about an exit.
