I always knew I wanted to run my own business - when I was young I took any opportunity to make money, including mowing the neighbours’ lawns.
When I was at school I ran a radio station and offered technical training courses for fellow pupils, and was freelancing in theatre and lighting outside school. After graduating from the Broadcasting Institute I started my first company.
"Don’t just talk about it - do it! But don’t rush it - business takes a lot of planning and time. Surround yourself with the best advisors and experts - and don’t fear failure!"
