Jamaine Carey is now building Europe’s largest and only floating beach club Mii Amor and estimates that his company’s combined will be worth £3.5 billion in the next four years.
We sat down with Jamaine to discuss his motivations, his life’s luxuries and the advice he would give to a young entrepreneur.
You are known for your drive and determination to achieve impossible dreams. Is impossible easier than we think?
I think, as children, we grow up thinking we can achieve anything. With disappointments, failures, and tragedies, we let our scars determine how we think and how we approach inevitable obstacles. Even the most successful people in the world, from Jeff Bezos to Bill Gates, had setbacks, tragedies, failed, made mistakes and were wrong.
I’ve had terribly dark times in my life, but I don’t let these circumstances stop me from reaching goals because I don’t think my dreams are impossible. My mindset is to take opportunities as they come with hard work and building the right team behind me. Some business successes have been luck, sometimes my business success has actually been a personal failure.
If you understand in life that there will be obstacles and disappointments but that doesn’t define you or your dream, then you can oftentimes overcome roadblocks with hard work, determination, and courage.
