About Tony Dada

Anthony Abiola DADA (aka Tony Dada - pictured on the right) has been working within his community and across the UK since 1991 after finding himself homeless (for the second time) and stripped of all his worldly possessions, including his children, due to his relationship breakdown. It was this experience that led him to what he now refers to as “My great experiment”. Having lost everything in 1 day, he realised how redundant a life fueled solely by the need for continual acquisitions and the pursuit of money becomes. More importantly, he learned that “your possessions do not define who YOU are”.

“Having lost everything, I also lost fear…. I literally had nothing to lose.” Slowly I began to see that my predicament actually offered me a unique opportunity. The opportunity to focus on my personal vision of success so that I could live a happier and fulfilled life.”


Despite a lack of resources (no money) and equipped only with Universal Ancient Laws introduced and taught to him by his Spiritual Mentor, Bro Ishmael Tetteh who, although based in Ghana, he had met in London. Bro Ishmael taught him how to live a consciously fulfilled and empowered life. Tony decided that he was going to put these lessons learned to the test.

Armed only with this knowledge and a vision, he decided he would redefine what success meant to him and make his life stand for something. He was going to make a difference in his community, starting with his own children. Tony with 2 of his greatest teachers. Tony DADA with his son and daughter Jaie & Joshua.


Tony has since regained all that was lost including his 2 children whom he went on to raise as a single parent, often referring to them as his two most important life Teachers. He has been inspired to serve as a Personal Empowerment Coach as a result of his own adolescent and adult life challenges, a desire to see people succeed and his mentor of over 30 years encouraging him to support people in this way.
As a creative social entrepreneur, singer, songwriter, author and former senior executive within the education system. Tony’s creativity over more than 3 decades has led him to meetings with the heads of Apple UK, L'Oréal and Sodexo as well as the staging of projects which have been supported by The Home Office, the Mayor’s Office, The British Army, Island Records, Yamaha, Channel 4, and many others.
He was also the mastermind behind projects that have provided the springboard for music acts such as Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, JLS and many others from 1992 – 2008.
More recently, NatWest Bank has been a partner and sponsor for more than 10 years in the delivery of DADA Success events and workshops to entrepreneurs from underrepresented communities, in particular women, creatives, social entrepreneurs and people from all ethnic minority groups. More recently, in the last 12 months Tony has been acting as “Creative consultant” for HSBC Bank as they develop their vision to support Black Entrepreneurs across the country.

A profound term in Business is "Cash is King". Being able to access money as and when you need it is a skill. Learning about money “As a tool” and the different forms that money comes in (general loans, overdrafts, personal capital, grants, debt finance, equity finance and sponsorship are a few examples) is also critical if you want to survive navigating the various storms that being in business brings.

Cash flow is a challenge most businesses face at some point in their journey. We will discuss the real truth about cash flow and how to leverage it to grow and scale your business long-term! Our Money theme will address the following:

3)How to develop “Money consciousness” and attract various forms of money

4) Are YOU attractive or unattractive to Investors?

You

Do you know your unique gifts, talents and abilities? Have you developed them sufficiently into a skill that you can access at will? Do you use this skill in a way that adds so much value to others that people are willing to pay YOU?

When the answer is yes to all of these questions, you will be on the path to Growing Personal Success and business success.
Our YOU theme will address the following:

1) Help you understand your mindset and how to undergo the MINDreSET process to make success and abundance achievable and tangible for you and your business
