Non-notable businessman with a basically promotional article. My check of Google and Google News didn't bring up anything of note - fails GNG. As for the sources in the article:
1 is a deadlink now, but the fact that the website is "aboutmlm.co.uk" suggests that, when it did exist, it was probably something that promoted multi-level marketing and not so much a reliable source.
2 is an article in a horse magazine about a horse the subject sold. Of the eight sources, it is the only one that might feasibly have use in justifying an article, but it would be an article about the horse.
3 is from the subject's own website.
4 does not mention the subject. It mentions, briefly, a company where the article claims the subject used to work in an unspecified capacity.
5 is an Amazon page.
6 is Goodreads.
7 is a press release on a site called "PR Web".
8 is from that part of CNN's website that's not actually CNN, but where they pretty much just let anyone submit stuff. It is labelled "Not verified by CNN".
