No matter where my travels take me, my day starts with a good work out, preferably kitesurfing or tennis. Exercise puts me in the right state of mind for the day. Dedicating time in the morning to exercise your body will make a big difference when you have to focus your mind on the day's work.

If you aim higher than you expect, you could reach higher than you dreamed.

I just think you need to spice up life every now and then with a bit of adventure and excitement.

I myself have invested in Uber and Hailo, I think they offer great alternatives to disrupt markets that have remained unchanged for many years.

A little humour is good for the soul - regardless of how old you may be.

Rather than getting nostalgic...embrace the new opportunities and challenges available to you now.

As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation. I have to be good at helping people run the individual businesses, and I have to be willing to step back. The company must be set up so it can continue without me.
