Tough times are inevitable in life and in business. But how you compose yourself during those times defines your spirit and will define your future.

If you get your face and your name out there enough, people will start to recognize you.

I was trouble - and always in trouble. Aged eight I still couldn't read. In fact, I was dyslexic and short-sighted. Despite sitting at the front of the class, I couldn't read the blackboard. Only after a couple of terms did anyone think to have my eyes tested. Even when I could see, the letters and numbers made no sense at all.

No failure means no risk, which means nothing new

My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long University education that I never had - everyday I'm learning something new.

Being dyslexic can actually help in the outside world. I see some things clearer than other people do because I have to simplify things to help me and that has helped others.

We spend most of our lives working. So why do so few people have a good time doing it?
