Nathaniel is an entrepreneur with a limitless potential for success. Already a director of 2 businesses he has already shown his business flare and his very creative mindset, he is one that meets challenges head on and he is ready to take on new ones.
Read below an interview conducted by Enterprise UK to find out about his award winning business The Safety Box Ltd.
“There is only one place you will find success before work and that is in the dictionary,” says Nat Peat, founder of The Safety Box.
For many people a dream with an £80,000 price tag would never be anything more than a dream. For Nathaniel Peat, who aspired to train as an airline pilot, the financial barrier was just another challenge he knew he could overcome. Nathaniel began to consider setting up as an entrepreneur in order to raise the money for his pilot training. When he realised that he could use his skills not just to realise his dream but also to address the major issues of youth safety and empowerment, The Safety Box Ltd was born.
Where did the idea for The Safety Box come from?
The idea was born out of the great need to proactively address the growing concerns of anti-social behaviour, bullying, low self esteem and knife violence within society. I was driven to help foster a mindset of achievement, helping youngsters to break down barriers and strive towards success.
Tell us about your pilot training.
One of my aspirations was to become an airline pilot. Upon completion of my masters degree at Brunel University I moved to Florida where I achieved my FAA pilot licences. I needed finance to continue my aviation studies for Europe. The next move for me was to set up a business. I wanted to create a business that would not just be about making money but something that would address social issues and empower young people. I completed all my European JAA Airline Transport Pilot Licence exams and passed all, it has been a great journey and I have achieved my dream which was to become a pilot.
What would your advice be to someone thinking about setting up their own business?
Make sure you have a good action plan of how you will achieve your goal, by having a plan you will be able to plot a clear route towards it. Once you have a plan, just "go for it" - the only limitation is yourself. There is only one place you will find success before work and that is in the dictionary. So make sure you work smart but hard, get your business plan written, open your bank account, get yourself registered and then strive toward your dream, never let it become a regret.
Think of the idea and then just do it! Or even better if you need help, enrol on one of my courses or recruit me as a consultant to get it to market.

Aloe Vera Health Forever Living Products
Good health starts with good nutrition. With today's farming methods depleting the natural mineral content of our lands, we can no longer rely on our foods to completely provide us with all the essential vitamins and minerals that our bodies need. More people are turning to nutritional supplements as a means of getting sufficient quantities of those vital nutrients that can make a difference to their quality of health.
Poor diets, stress, caffeine, over-processed foods etc can all lead to less than tip-tip health. Aloe, with its wealth of essential nutrients can help redress the balance – it contains 75 known active ingredients.
Aloe works with our immune system, replenishing nutrients as required. Drinking our gels on a daily basis assists digestion and absorption of nutrients, adds vitamins, minerals and amino acids to your diet, but above all promotes a healthy lifestyle.
These active ingredients can be taken internally (drinking gels) for the maximum benefits, but also are present in all of our skincare range, offering amazing benefits by fast and effective treatment of the skin.
Forever Living Products (FLP) is the largest grower, processor and distributor of Aloe Vera products. We own 80% of the world’s cultivatable Aloe Vera crops.
Aloe Vera is the first ingredient in all of our products. The key to our success is that we don’t simply add a few drops of Aloe Vera to our products, we start with 100% inner gel and just enough other ingredients as needed. Through our patented cold stabilisation process, all the active ingredients are kept and not lost through filtration, concentration or excessive heat… all the goodness is intact as it left the leaf through to you.
By contrast, many other companies adding Aloe Vera to their product will list it right at the bottom of their ingredient listing, meaning they have a very small percentage of Aloe Vera in their products. Our competitors’ Aloe is often from a whole leaf manufacturing process whereby leaves and rind are pulped and then filtered to remove unwanted products, but at the same time also removing many of the active ingredients.
FLP has made the dream of owning your own business a real option for everyone. People just like you are earning and extra income - or all of their income - sharing Forever Living Products. What's more, they are spending more time with their families and enjoying the freedom of a home based business.
The reasons are simple. Our products are popular and consumable, so customers use and purchase them over and over again. And because our popular health, beauty, and nutritional products are unique and exclusive, customers can only get them from an FLP distributor.
In traditional sales, a product goes from manufacturer through a combination of distributors, wholesalers and retailers before it reaches the final consumer. Each of these people takes a share of the profit. FLP cuts out the unnecessary cost of traditional sales by moving the product directly from manufacturer to consumer through a distributor. Imagine earning even half of what all those traditional sales middlemen make. With FLP you do. In fact our marketing plan offers several different ways to make money.
Forever Living today has grown into one of the largest direct sales companies in the world. We are not one big business, but thousands of successful home based businesses. It is the shared dream of many people that has made Forever Living the success it is.
