Memorable Quotes

· “Surround yourself in the world you want to come into.”
· “Having a really clear idea of why you’re doing it, but also how you want your life to look, will be really important.”
· “The one thing about being an entrepreneur, the one thing about being involved in education and teaching, is the fact that it can be difficult – there’s lots to do. The entrepreneurial journey is something which is a marathon and definitely not a sprint.”
