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.

Entrepreneurship is about turning what excites you in life into capital, so that you can do more of it and move forward with it.

Never to be frightened of taking risks and always follow your instincts!

I was the kind of entrepreneur that never really felt I made it. When Mike Olefield's "Tubular Bells" [Virgin Records' first release] sold 8 or 10 million copies, I suppose, at age 19, I could've possibly retired on the money. Instead, I immediately pushed the boat and took that risk again.

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

As much as you need a strong personality to build a business from scratch, you also must understand the art of delegation.

My people are at the core of everything I do, and I recognize the importance of giving them the flexibility to balance work around their personal lives.
