I started The Body Shop in 1976 simply to create a livelihood for myself and my two daughters, while my husband, Gordon, was trekking across the Americas. I had no training or experience and my only business acumen was Gordon's advice to take sales of £300 a week. Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Anita RoddickMy passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.
Anita RoddickI didn't go to business school, didn't care about financial stuff and the stock market.
