I'm a great believer that saying yes is a lot more fun than saying no.

If you get into entrepreneurshi p driven by profit, you are a lot more likely to fail. The entrepreneurs who succeed usually want to make a difference to people’s lives, not just their own bank balances. The desire to change things for the better is the motivation for taking risks and pursuing seemingly impossible business ideas.

Anyone who makes an effort at whatever they hope to accomplish can, and will, seriously improve their chances of succeeding.

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

If you spot an opportunity and are really excited by it, throw yourself into it with everything you've got.

I've taken many knocks over the years but it has only made me stronger and more determined to succeed.

All in all, the internet is a force for good, providing young entrepreneurs with access to an incredible wealth of information, has changed the way we see the world and is also a great source of innovation and entrepreneurial opportunities.
