a (former) young business person
a Prince’s Trust supported business
You have to love doing what you do.
- Walter Chrysler “I feel sorry for the person who
can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.”
Your own business gives YOU control of your life ...
... make sure you are doing something you love, that
makes you happy.
- Steve Jobs “The only way to do great work
is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.”
There are opportunities in a downturn
They might not be glamourous
Know your figures...
...but take professional advice
Say YES a lot.
Lucky breaks?
“Can you write a couple of chapters of a book?”
How hard you work is one thing YOU can control
Work hard (and smart)
Look after YOU
“Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise
will sooner or later have to find time for illness” - Edward Stanley
Enjoy the ride
"We were young, but we had good advice and good
ideas and lots of enthusiasm." - Bill Gates
