So, what’s my best advice to anyone starting out? Ask yourself why you think it’s a good idea and write it down. If you read it back and believe it – do it.

The highs and lows of running a company all relate to working with people. The best moments are always those where you experience a shared triumph.

You also need discipline so you don’t become too busy, and to possess a self-belief that stops you from taking rejection to heart.
