FAVOURITE QUOTE:
“Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same” 
Its a quote and song lyric – it’s one have remembered since I was a kid.
Morally always steers you in the right direction.
GREATEST LESSON(S) IN BUSINESS:
I have so much ahead to learn, so rather some practical tips that have worked for me:
  1. Build your day around how you like to work. Ie for me. I get up around 5 am every day and I do my best work between 7 am when I log on and midday. 
  2. Relationships are everything. CUB is a perfect example of that. Always have an open mind and a generous spirit. (we can  talk about what I said at your Think Tank)
  3. Remove yourself regularly from the bubble, it works wonders – Virtual Marketing Manager was born out of a hotel room in Sicily.
REASON TO JOIN CUB:
We joined CUB to accelerate our knowledge about growing and scaling a business.
