I like that idea as well

Agreed!

Thanks for the feedback :)

A top bullshiter too 🤣

Reminds me of Lord Farquaad

Hi , he is actually quite the opposite, a bit like Andy Murray he comes over very different in real life. Thanks for watching MT 😎

Comes across a bit like a prick

He didn’t give me the time of day when I enquired about a car. It was only £170k. Perhaps I’m not rich enough to have his time.

100% - seems full of himself and you got a nodd from the creator

Considerably

Thank you for a lovely comment Gabriel. I’m so pleased that you’re enjoying the content! MT 😎

Hi, I wanted the video to inspire any one that it’s possible to do better. You can put many things in life down to luck but in my opinion you have to put yourself in the position to take advantage of that luck when it comes along. My hope in making all my videos is that they inspire and then everyone can level up, maybe not to the level Tom has but if you could double your income then life is a nicer place. Tom is very proud of his achievements but I had to pull the stories out of him so it’s not about flexing. I want to do more rags to riches stories because that’s what inspired me when I was younger to make something of my life. Thanks for watching MT 🤔

@@marktilbury hi, sorry I made a typo in my original comment. I meant to say that Tom really only said anything at the end of the video, not you, you gave value all throughout the video :)

Agreed , the blokes strikes me as a shallow sociopath who never really grew up.

Thanks Charlie!

Thanks for the support Gregg! I really appreciate it!

That's very true.. I've always said 'Your Network Is Your Net Worth'

@@marktilbury that is my favorite quote of yours

This comment has never been truer for Farmers

Glad you enjoyed it! MT

Hi Krish, thank you 🙏 your comment is much appreciated, it’s so nice to bring real life stories to life, to inspire people that getting ahead is possible as long as you have a vision and take action. Thanks again MT 😎

Thanks 👍

Hi, great comment thank you. Determination is the name of the game, when you get pushed down you get straight back up. I wish you great success. MT 😎

Hi Tommy, thanks mate, that means a lot to Curtis and myself. MT 😎

Hi, good luck on your journey my friend, everything you want is out there for you so go get it. MT 😎

Hi, it was an amazing day, so many cool cars. Thanks for watching MT 😎

I bet you're poor.

😂😂😂 definitely

I've never met the bloke so I couldnt say

He says £2 a brick like it’s a good thing. That’s called a ripoff

@@WarrenF Handmade to his specific requirements, it costs.

Hi Karl, unfortunately not everyone can have a great experience, selling a car to a dealer is never really a great experience as you know they have to buy low enough to make a profit. What they do say is they will offer you cash today and for some in a hurry this is a good way to sell or part exchange. I prefer to take my time and sell for as much as possible so for me selling to a dealer is not a good option . Buying however is a completely different thing and I would not hesitate to buy a car from these guys. Thanks for your thought provoking comment. MT 😎

Glad you enjoyed it! MT

You are so welcome!

Well spotted sir!

Hi Mr. Martin. Actually he was only responding to my questions and not like that in normal conversation. Thanks for watching MT 😎

@@marktilbury there have been Many video interviews/ articles over the years in which TH is constantly boasting about how successful he is - so it’s Not just responding to your questions that he comes across as a braggart If you have done any research on the man you will have noticed this yourself As I said fair play to the man ,but it’s hard to listen to

What cars did you buy

@@Vaniter I’m in two videos on carls channel I’m the bodybuilder . I bought g63 then I bought a Lambo aventador then I got a custom made g700 Brabus g wagon .

@@FrancisDietPodcast have you got any advice for me to get to a level like you? I'm in yr11

Hi David, it’s a fantastic quote, I will for sure be using it myself in the future. Thanks for watching MT 😎

Sort of. I think we have a rather healthy habit of making sure people stay grounded. No-one really dislikes wealth, they just dislike overt, trashy displays of it.

@@SeaJayBelfast Thanks for your reply. Opinions differ. What happened to the people who still say that "money is the root of all evil", or "money doesn't buy happiness"? I remember being told that as a child, and what we learn as children tends to become a strong belief that gets taught to the next generation. Thankfully, I am more mentally prepared these days not to fall for such tosh. Oh dear. There' aren't many things more 'overt' than buying a brightly-coloured supercar. Erm, well, perhaps a yacht or a nice jet plane, a big home, and expensive clothes. Every day, there are comments on various media from people complaining about how the rich keep on getting richer, and that the rich should pay more to the government's coffers. They already do pay more, and more people need to find out how they too can pay less. But, as I mentioned, they prefer to complain and do nothing, and then waste a few more hours watching TikTok rubbish. Yep, the poor keep watching their favourite 'richer' creators get richer.

In all fairness, thats very accurate. I was brought up with the same traditions, old fashioned values. Now 18 years in what I love doing and constantly educating myself has paid off. I believe the wise get richer and poorer just keep spending and living above their means and complaining. We’re all faced with choices and i guess it all comes down to how much you put in to achieve something better!.

@@SkilfulLeader1 Indeed. Many people moan about budgets and how they favour the rich. The thing is, who employs the overspending poor? Not the poor, that's for sure.

Hi, who wouldn’t love to wake up every morning and walk into that show room! Thanks MT 😎

@@marktilbury 👍🏼

Hi Tom was 11 when he started some lot of advice in this video. Thanks MT 😎

Hi, it’s not always all about coming up with a brand new idea, it’s more about doing something in a better way. For example people were buying cars before Tom started and people were ordering Taxis before Uber started there business. You don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Hope this helps. MT 😎

@@marktilbury Thank you for the tips.

Hi, everyone is different and Tom is very proud of his achievements. You don’t have to like everyone but you can learn from their experiences. For me it’s about listing and taking any advice that is applicable to me and applying that to my life. Thanks for watching MT 😎

Hi, just make an effort to find them, hang out where the people you want to meet go. Everything takes some effort on your side to get the best results. Hope that helps. MT 😎

Hi, I think what happened was Tom wanted to keep his reputation intact so rather than not supplying the cars he had to buy them all at the higher price but honour his contracts with his customers. This is very rare these days but Toms honest reputation is what has made the company what it is today. Big short term pain for great long term trust. I personally know quite a few people that have bought from him and he has never let any one down. Thanks for taking the time to ask. MT 😎

Hi, these are all the reasons not to make it in 2022 how about making a list of all the advantages you have now such as, mobile phones, the internet, Digital products, eBay, websites and a better education. We can all make a list of why it’s unfair and why I can’t make it. Those that make it ,toss the excuse list in the bin 🗑 . Thanks for watching, time to write that list and take action. MT 😎

@@marktilbury The above isn't an excuse, it's a much needed dose of reality. Hartley asserts he is a self made man. Starting at 12 years old with the equivalent of 32 thousand pounds, and offering no acknowledgement of the rare and highly supported circumstances he must have been in is disingenuous. Its conceivable I am wrong and Hartley started at 5 years old and generated a few pence, then through reinvestment and hard work turned this into 1950 pounds in 7 years. If that is the case; I doff my cap unreservedly. But he'd have said, with some considerable volume. It's not self made if your benefitting from the finances of elders or inter generational windfall. End of. This in no way degenerates the work and wherewithal to carry sucess therafter. But, you appear to be suggesting that if someone wishes to emulate Hartley then positive thinking is the primary resource. Granted it's most valuable, however any financier on any commercial arrangement is going to want to see a realistic way of repayment, or some security. This is all fine with some track record but it always comes with a price, something you and Hartley appear to be wilfully overlooking. Times have changed, Hartley achieved business sucess by numerous transgressions of the law- he states this himself - by admitting to driving under age. Import loop holes might show up stridently in the era of the omni computer too. The elder generation have enacted laws that prevent this route being utilised so readily. Some crime does pay, even if its just avoiding motor vehicle insurance costs until old enough to actually hold a licence. This is in no way being negative; loads of business's need to sail close to the wind until, the term is being 'established' isnt it? This reflects reality. Buy the most needed, and keep your head down until.... Without finances the first deal cant happen unless your very lucky. Anyone of any age who repeated this projection of a sucess story is going to fail and you must know it... because you can't pay for Range Rover's with a list of positive mental attitude, not now, not in '71 and not tomorrow or could you point me in the direction of sources of unsecured loans devoid of repayment costs please. I get it also, you recieve income as well as networking value from positive content so maybe it's not in your interest to throw rocks at stories. Your respectful critic, Andy.

Maybe his family won the football coupon (the pools)? Rumour has it.. but coming from a travelling background..id take every word with a heavy pinch of salt. His advice? Well, break the law, dodge the tax, f##k all authorities, seems to be his early MO.. reads like a budding gangster story. But, he's done real well for himself, and most successful business men are dodgy bastards. Lol

Hi, I live in the United Kingdom

@@marktilbury rip sterling

US $ is global currency.

Hi, I have never been but plan to soon, the thing with Tom that’s unusual in the high end car game is he buys everything, most dealers don’t, they sell on commission so the cars are not there’s. When I go to Dubai I will check it out. Thanks for watching MT 😎

Hi, Tom will love that comment, he is very smart but not in the way schools would measure it. Thanks for your support MT 😎

Indeed!

Bricks are about 75 cents. A nicer brick is $1.50. He was paying $2.34 per brick at today’s exchange rates. I’m sure it added up.

@@rjthomasindyusa In Sweden regular bricks cost around 1.5-2 pounds

He built the showroom around 4 years ago and at the time that was a big cost for a Brick 🧱. Thanks for watching MT 😎

Well done man!! 💪 what is you do?

@@robingeurts3848 he pimps his bum out 😂

What did you do?

Hi Mr. Jones, well done 👍 just keep rolling it along and before you know it a small amount of money can become very large, then you want to make it even bigger , it becomes a habit you don’t want to break . Good luck my friend MT 😎

keep on grinding bro!

yes and how did he buy the range rover at 12? he had no money well odd

@@TheSpyUk I can only assume wealthy parents. He wouldn't of been able to buy any vehicle at that age. Likely the same reasons his son took his test in a Ferrari.

Hi, Tom worked in his parents Carpet shop to save his start up money and did a deal with the Range Rover. He did not need to own it he just made the money as the middle man, the Deal Maker. Hope you enjoyed and shared the video. Thanks MT 😎

Hi, he may be a bull dog but he’s managed to bring his Son Carl into the business who is now a 50% partner. The Hartley Brand goes from strength to strength. They want to grow because if you are not growing you are going backwards. Thanks for watching take a look at the podcast Strike it big to see the full story. Thanks MT 😎

Hi Dick, he is spot on when it comes to the numbers, also his son Carl is pushing the business to new heights and is now a 50:50 partner. Hope you enjoyed and shared the video MT 😎

Hey M.I , I'm not a reporter mate, I'm a multi-millionaire businessman sharing stories, tips & tricks on KZfaq. I wanted to have a chat with Tom, to find out whether becoming rich is lucky, or if it's a repeatable scalable formula. As Tom came from nothing to millionaire, only to then lose it all and then bounce back, I thought he was the perfect case study. I hope his video showcases anything is possible! Feel free to check out the rest of my channel 😎 MT

@@marktilburymy sincere humble apologies.

Did you watch the same video 😂
