The time to go into a new business is when it’s badly run by others.

Although my spelling is still sometimes poor, I have managed to overcome the worst of my difficulties through training myself to concentrate.

I am always working on the go. I have never had an office that I work out of and work has become intertwined with my personal life. Fortunately I am able to work from my home and can answer my e-mails in the morning, play tennis or kitesurf in the afternoon to keep fit and have meetings or phone calls in between.

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

If people are jumping down people's throats all the time, in the end, they'll just shrivel up like a flower shrivels up that's not watered.

I make up my mind about whether I can trust someone within 60 seconds of meeting them

Having colleagues nearby, whether at the beach or in a crypt, means the ideas are always flowing
