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

I never went into business just to make money - but I found that if I have fun, the money will come. I often ask myself, is my work fun and does it make me happy? I believe that the answer to that is more important than fame or fortune. If it stops being fun, I ask why? If I can't fix it, I stop doing it.

Avoid litigations. They are expensive and consume loads of time but if you have got a good case and a better chance of winning; then fight it out.

I have always been a huge believer in the inestimable value good mentoring can contribute to any nascent business

I just like to enjoy life and push myself. Of course, there is method to my madness. When you are entering into a new industry, for example, it helps to do something to get your name on the front pages.

If you don’t enjoy it, don’t do it. You must love what you do.

The risk is worth it. Mike would have been the first to say that.
