Dragons Den: Theo Paphitis's Golden Rules for Success

[MegaJane37]

Golden Rules for Success

[bhattij]

Arguably the best dragon!

[MTCoblivsicas12345]

failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

[Invesigator]

The greedy idiot featured in above video, Theo Paphitis, started with the wrong word in using it with first rule: it is not 'cash', it is 'cash flow'.

[HammersGamingChannel]

@Invesigator He has over £200,000,000 do you really think he gives a toss.

[Invesigator]

@HammersGamingChannel If he can't give tips in an accurate way, he should keep his mouth closed whether he has £200,000,000 or not.

[HammersGamingChannel]

@Invesigator So I just want to get this straight right, his tips are NOT accurate but using those tips it has earned him over 200mil and isn't that the point? making shit tonnes

[tennishb09]

HEY i HaVE A golDen Rule fOR yoU:

WANKER12!

[jzm2sg]

i think will from inbetweeners would be like tthis when he got older!

[hattrickster33]

lol this guy loves his one liners

[akovic]

yes verry nice,answer this mr thio,can you start a bissines or carier with 800 euros a month??? bolox thats what i get 800 euros a month,but one day i be rich ,and ty mr pafitis for not answering my email.

[EffLabels]

Makes sense

[mercylyn19]

how do i get cash when i dun hv cash nd want to start a busines??..i do not agree with "d cash is king" bit

[EyeHawk777]

@mercylyn19

speak properly

[yaxxee]

@mercylyn19 Earn, loans, investments... he didn't make this video to tell you the kind of stuff you can learn anywhere. This is about his own insight.

[hattrickster33]

@mercylyn19 Save up. You can't start a business and just sit there. A lot of people still have a day job while they start up a business.

[TheVeryAngryGoose]

@mercylyn19 You are an idiot. You can't even manage to string a proper sentence together, how will you ever be successful in business? You get loans, investments and you go out and earn. Theo isn't here to explain to you what you should already know when you want to start your own business. Sitting there saying "i dun hv cash" will not get you anywhere!

[Invesigator]

Cash is king? I thought customer was king?

[farhannius]

the most important rule in business is rape. Raping people, men, women, dogs and cats has helped me to not only increase my net profits, but it's also helped me grow as a person.

[ImmortalHardOn]

wow sounds like that Transporter guy

[kitt998]

i get the feeling that he's bollocking me personally - i'm scared

[MTCoblivsicas12345]

Theo makes sense always do your homework by this he means always conduct a business plan in detail about the aims of the business when starting up and how are you going to run the business and even if their is a market for your business. Nearly all enterpreneurs do business plans and if you dont then you most likley will fail. I been currently writing a business plan for my business which i am going to set up.

[Jaahaah]

First rule of buisness, if he doesn't pay you break his hands

[gamingmidget]

why are people hating on him, he bought a company for £1 and sold it for £130m. must know his stuff :D

[dys172]

i need your help Thoe Foetus i set a buisness up selling myself but have made no profits but chlamydia

[walkie1985]

lol some strange people on here, Theo's my favourtie dragon

[tommyds69]

i love the ending is because...iv done my homework

[Crashortsofevil]

My gawd it's like the godfather

[RefugeeInExile]

This is art, get someone who's mega rich to talk for 3 mins without actually saying or meaning anything, oh yeah homework

[Stratocaster21st1994]

theo = cunt.

[PurushaDesa]

I love Theo. He's such a little gangster. 30 seconds in and he's already talking about death.

[garysquirrelreviews]

the people on here who a ,cannot spell and b, dislike theo are obviously imbeciles.

yes he breaks stuff but if your going to invest 100k in a product would you just look at it and say "duh, its broke in my hands but i cant see a problem, here is the cash"

get back to your shitty little life going down to the pub and working in macdonlds at the weekend. LEAVE HIM TO EARN MORE CASH.

[TuRdSandwitch18]

he seems alittle angry for some reason

[Stratocaster21st1994]

theo = complete dick

[karaloca]

This is the guy that won't invest if he can pull it apart with his bare hands.

I went into his stationery shop and broke all the pencils then told them I wouldn't buy them. Knob.

[kmp3000]

Theo Is The Cash Daddy!

[DLH2901]

To all of you haters. To sum up your words, its all just envy. Theo Paphitis is a very successful businessman. In the media, he also appears to be quite a nice chap.

[iTszTeddy]

aLL yOU gUYS CAN HATE ON THEO HOWEVER HIS BANK ACCOUNT PAWNSS ALL OF YOU "

[bobodd5]

yes a suit that thinks hes made it does he give out change now and again say on a tuesday and a friday with the odd sunday

[2006scottw]

[saaab100]

soo he is more successful then uuu ;)

[war6ensemble]

Absolute no brainer idiots who are slagging Theo off, the guy has built an extremely successful career. Why not Listen and learn from these people? you got to be Arrogant and an absolute idiot to not take advice!

[monkeypoo1]

absolutely agree, this man has been there and done it, and we are incredibly fortunate that he is here to impart that knowledge!

[Stratocaster21st1994]

@war6ensemble uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh do one

[1madaboutguitar]

@war6ensemble Exactly, all the people who slag him off are BROKE, period!

[Stratocaster21st1994]

@war6ensemble because you said "no brainer" i can tell you are just like theo aka Dickhead, therfore cannot take advive from you.

[bluensunshine]

@war6ensemble twat?

[tottfan1993]

Theo Paphitis really influenced me about business studies

[timewatch12]

totally agree!

[eggymark]

dreadful public speaker - or is it the auto-que reader running slowly. As sure as Eggs is Eggs Theo is as dull as dishwater.

[paperandtea]

i like theo..hes really grown on me over theyears he is cool

[buffett1000]

Theo is a greasy spiv. Fuck off back to Greece.

[RoadRunnerDrummerJD]

What the fuck was that for you fucking tosser?

How is he a greasy fucking spiv?

You need to fuck off back under your rock.

[SvedeboXque]

And I bet you're a pathetic fucking burberry loving gold mouthed pikey. Fuck off and kill yourself you disgrace!

[geourgiou]

fuck you, he is from cyprus, not greece

[sajibuk]

very realistic and passionate advice.

[HONCH123]

Mr Paphitis...you are a good guy, man..when Beneton and Ghingis khan was laughing at the magic Pizza...you and that store owner John Lewis gave the guy a chance..I think you guys are great..Let me give you a tip..If you want anything from John Lewis he can get 10 percent off.

[stampingtonzoo]

seems this annoying bubble and squeak really is a doughnut....what does mrs"p" have to say about his cliche ridden language..

[ryanroolz2]

y are people slagging him off on here did u expect him to tell u how to run your buisness or did u expect him give u a step by step guid or sumit

[TuRdSandwitch18]

he seems really angry in this video

[g57yle]

Get yourself some lessons in English please. You're a moron.

[g57yle]

[MINIMALIST9PLUS]

Very Basic business advice i´m not impressed by you Theo with these so called Golden Rules of yours, you having given anything away of value. I thought you were more.

[briddocheez]

Monsieur Profiterole chatting breeze again

[emilian4494]

reasonbly important

[danieljonathanmartin]

not theo's best piece of work - usually much better.....

[danbkiwi]

OMG - what a rubbish tip! Common Sense! People are watching this looking for business advice and you tell them to have common sense!!!!! What a waste of my time!

[texaspete66]

This guy is no better than the rest of us he just thinks because he's got a a few ££ and he's on TV he's all that. There are many theo paphitis out there. James Caan is the only genuine role model dragon.

[eggymark]

Wishy Washy and Mind-numbing. Its easy to drivel on when you are sit at the top of the tree. Narcissistic cock, im so great I am the best look at me. No, you look stupid Theo and what a crap video. Advice for the depression we are entering - buy a tin hat and sit on your hands and get pleasure in watching Theo go bust. Enjoy the ride

[simoncuming41]

I think he was one of the lucky few who happened to be in the right place at the right time! Not everyone is that lucky. Seems strange really that a dyslexic teaboy ends up in finance at the executive level! Typical of the UK for recruiting at the base level! But hey he done bloody good!!!

[flagship21]

You should have told the people who went out to buy real estate at these overvalued prices worldwide.

[secondchapter]

I LOVE this guy! Smart and incredibly sexy.

[abbyo7baby]

alot of noobs, on here,

i just listen to theo!

[kittenic44]

not replying am i? don't worry, i know what it must be like to have somebody shatter your made up world. you need to get out the house more. That's house. not palace, not harem or area 47.

[drewsky684]

I love this guy

[JimTDragonsDen]

Honch, your comments are quite the waste of time. One must do their homework to realize the potential success for their business. Once you've achieved what Theo has, then you can attack his verbal skills.

[HONCH123]

Do you really know what my name is....Its Abudulah the 3rd..I am a prince of the saudi area 47, ive got more in my wallet then Theo will ever have

[HONCH123]

Even his grandma is bad..he used the phrase as sure as eggs is eggs....eggs being plurel..it should be eggs are eggs..or as sure as an egg is an egg..Phaphitis..dont show yourself up...for this reason..im out

[redwizard2k6]

well the thing is he probably wasnt given a script. It is strenuous in front of a camera and studio lights, I should know because I study multimedia and know all about it. He's successful, so he can afford to say "eggs is eggs". Oh another thing, HE's DYSLEXIC

[HONCH123]

Good reply red,,I like your style

[kittenic44]

noooooooo....

[HONCH123]

speak child speak..are you phaphitis mother..shes always writing in protecting him.speak slowly..what do you want to say

[kittenic44]

no, I'm not his mother.

[HONCH123]

Maybe hes looking after you some other way.mmmmmmmmmmwonder how?....do you get discount from rymans?

[kittenic44]

what you're trying to suggest is totally unnesseccary. I'm actually 14, and I don't have a make belief world of being an Arab prince the 3rd or whatever

[HONCH123]

If your 14...keep off the net without your mothers permission..stop talking to me you silly brat..kids like you should not post stuff on the internet without your parents permission.....now stop posting to my replies...good bye

[George19881988]

@HONCH123 Your comment is one year old but it still warrants a reply. The idiom "Sure as eggs is eggs" is and always will be, grammatically wrong. That is how the phrase is intended to be written and pronounced, Theo is not wrong in using it here in this context. Don't show yourself up by expressing such ignorance to a common adage.

[HONCH123]

@George19881988 Hey George do you understand "you are a wanker" I hope that warrents that

[George19881988]

@HONCH123 Truthfully. One can't always anticipate the general tone of a response but yours was clearly not unexpected. Someone with such ignorance as yours of course, would never shock me. It came as no surprise that someone who doesn't even understand an age old, extremely common adage, who expresses hate and bitterness and has a channel filled with 'flames', would commit to such a response in blind ignorance. May your death win you the Darwin awards!

[HONCH123]

@George19881988 Let me let you into a secret you WANKER, some people put things in to cause drama,and to get a response..that was to get a response a year ago...you trawling through comments a year ago to correct people is boring..are you related to Theo?...I think you are....you sad Cypriot cunt Now fuck off and leave me alone STAVROS

[George19881988]

@HONCH123 The last page is readily available from the first. There is no need to trawl, 1 click is enough. This is also a public forum, meaning if I want to reply to your comment, I am free to do so. If you wanted the system to work otherwise, why did you post? It is also highly unlikely you put that mistake in on purpose. Theo is known for previous Dyslexia and it is likely you were trying to play on this. You got called on it and had a hissy fit. You intellectual troll. You maggot. You slug.

[HONCH123]

@George19881988 I might be a maggot...but you sir are a poof,a right old fruit..batty boy sir,If i was next to you I would have to slap you with a wet bag of shit across your face..,Anyway ,as I said..you must be a bubble,a cypriot, you sir are nothing but a olive eating trouble maker..People like you who have learned english come and try to excersice it in from of people to show them you are smart...Sir I say again....you are a piece of shit

[heatflash888]

@HONCH123 With all those Greek videos you must be a fat old bubble yourself, and aren't you all batty boys. You must be from somewhere around there, I’m not surprised you carry a wet bag of shit, it’s probably what passes for sanitation where you come from.

[HONCH123]

@heatflash888 look at what you wrote you arse slug...you make no sence..you sir are a cunt a right old slag..now fuck off you useless insulter..dont even bother answering you wont get a reply..COS YOUR AN ARSE SLUG

[HONCH123]

wtf is this chip shop owner going on about..all I got out of this was something about his mother and eggs and homework..I bet his dad gave him money to start off...He cracks jokes which are only funny in his world..He cant make his mind up,,if you look at his decisions..he will make one of the other dragons go first then he will dive in..Hes got no bottle to go it alone..So remember whatr paphitis said..make your mother cook you eggs while your doing your school work

[JimTDragonsDen]

Also Honch... Theo went in on his own on the Foldio pitch, check it out before you make these comments.

[bjenn68]

As if the Dragons 'know'. Sure, cash is important, profit is important, and common sense is useful, but it's like saying, be healthy, be happy, be kind. The market has risen steadily for ten years, and there are a lot of swaggering tycoons out there.

My rules: get a reputation for success, be on a reality TV programme, write books telling people how to do it. I've be in business for 10 years. My advice, be reckless, impractical, contemptuous of profit and bugger homework. You'll learn fast.

[ozmanbro]

Thankyou for the upload. Those words are worth Gold.

[poizon5]

hoo i dont half luv theo iii if u no im can u ask im 2 say jack the pack attack mac wak i wont 2 luv u
