I believe in businesses where you engage in creative thinking, and where you form some of your deepest relationships. If it isn't about the production of the human spirit, we are in big trouble.

I think it is completely immoral for a shop to trade in the middle of a community, to take money and make profits from that community and then ignore the existence of that community, its needs and problems.

Three components make an entrepreneur: the person, the idea and the resources to make it happen.

If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.

My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.

Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.

If I can't do something for the public good, what the hell am I doing?
