Michael Bell (entrepreneur/author)
Sheffield-born Michael Bell is a celebrated businessman who rose from humble beginnings to become a world-renowned speaker and bestselling author. Born and raised on the city's tough Parson Cross council estate, his first job was a Kenning's motor mechanic. His sales talent was spotted early and he swapped his overhauls for two piece suit and became a top car salesman. He rose to become one of the top salesmen across the whole Kennings Motor Group within months of crossing the floor. But it wasn't before he tried a disastrous attempt at running a nightclub following the runaway success of fellow Sheffielder, Peter Stringfellow. It was the launch of his own business, Results Financial, that truly displayed his visionary business acumen. He built the £3million turnover company from scratch and sold it ten years later - exactly as he'd planned. Its success made Michael Bell legendary in the financial world and he went on to pen international best seller, the 'Entrepreneur's Guide to a Good Night's Sleep', and speak at business conventions all around the world. Michael Bell's success story has become a blueprint for successful growth by entrepreneurs worldwide and he now runs his own mentoring school, the Results Hub, in the Woodseats area of Sheffield. Michael Bell is also a columnist for The Star and provides regular advice through his 'Late Late Breakfast' meetings.
