A successful business must have a sound knowledge of its market and work on how its product or service will be different, stand out and improve people's lives. If you can ensure it responds to a real need in the market place, your business can punch well above its weight.

I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.

My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.

I'm not superstitious. I don't really believe in star signs, sorry, or superstitions.

Screw it, just do it!
