Remain focused on fulfilling your business mission. Never allow adversity divert your attention and efforts.

I've never sued anybody, though there have been one or two occasions I've wanted to strangle one or two people.

I think great businessmen are more likely made than born. I don't know if it's from your upbringing, your parental background, the struggles you go through. In my own particular situation, I left school at 15 and I was struggling to survive in the jungle and that was a great education. So I think just getting out there, hands on, learning to survive teaches you a lot.

The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure.

However tight things are, you still need to have the big picture at the forefront of your mind.

Building a business is not rocket science, it's about having a great idea and seeing it through with integrity.

Happiness doesn't come from making a fortune and owning lots of possessions. 'Stuff' doesn't bring happiness. Family, friends, good health and the satisfaction that comes from making a positive difference are what really matter.
