- “it’s about confidence and self-belief. And both are essential as an entrepreneur”
- “being an entrepreneur is not an easy life, it’s not an easy gig necessarily, it can be but I think impostor syndrome and all sorts of other things get in the way”
- “numbers tell a story. And if you can find a way to get in to working out what the story is you can do some amazing things in your business”
