You're offering a great service. People are tuning in. So continue to find great people, continue to do what you're doing. And do it better than your rivals. I know that's easier said than done.

Remember it's OK to be yourself.

Branding is everything. A young girl once came up to me and told me I could be famous because I looked just like Richard Branson!

People do not mind people who try things and fail. If you're a good entrepreneur, you're not going to succeed in every single thing you try. You've got to try to succeed at more things than fail.

When employees tell you about their good ideas for the business, don't limit your response to asking questions, taking notes and following up. If you can, ask those people to lead their projects and take responsibility for them. From those experiences, they will then have built the confidence to take on more and you can take a further step back.

To be successful, you have to be out there, you have to hit the ground running

Don't bother doing something unless you're radically different from the competition.
