Those who earn money know best how to spend it.

Unless you completely understand the investment world, do not mess around with it. It is not something I would go anywhere near.

Run a home like you would a small business and treat it with the same seriousness.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don't try and do everything yourself because you can't.

One wise decision I made was buying a plot of land with planning permission in Richmond, and building my own five-bedroom home on it. I sold three years after I completed the building and more than doubled my money. I like Richmond and always have my eyes open for other properties in the area.

I have made six big home moves in my life and I have never lost money on one I have lived in.

Whether it's cushions you only use outside in the summer, or blankets that only come out in the winter, you've always got to think of where to store them.
