He moved to Värnamo from Turkey in 1970. When he was 19 years old and had the bottom ratings school. Today, he runs a multi-million company within the waste management industry and over the years bought and sold close to 40 companies.

– Swedes are really good, but a little slow. Do not plan too much. Your power will be at the customer, not the desktop. As a Turk is to 95 percent and thinking five percent of the time, says Kadim Akca and looks shrewd out.

Also, he does not to pull out of the business by sending quotes to customer meetings.

– When you come to your company, you sell directly. Find a solution and to ensure that you get the shots. If you release the company begins to store cool. When you send the quote, the train is already up in Kiruna!

Personally, Kadim always taken their entrepreneurship deadly serious and never had any alternative career plans.

– To start companies is on life and death, it’s my attitude. Do not think that “can not I, I go back to the factory”. Then it becomes dangerous. Once you have decided you should bet everything, there should be no Plan B.

The key to his success is the attitude, he is absolutely sure of. When you get everyone to be happy and to feel seen, successful man of business, he says.

– When I have meetings I turn off your phone, it is not professional to let others wait. Treat everyone you meet with respect and never leave anything to chance when you hit your customers. As an entrepreneur, it is important to evaluate their “mental capital” in a similar way to value a stock, think Kadim Akca.

– An accountant once told me: “Your company lacks substance”. But the matter is I! Make an inventory of everything you can, you’ll find it’s worth a lot. You must have the courage to believe in yourself.
