About Me - My Biography

Strategies for Success

  • Success is a staircase, not a doorway – There is no such thing as overnight success. Success takes creativity, determination, resilience and persistence.
  • If business and entrepreneurship were easy, everyone would do it – “Life (and business) is not about waiting for the storms to pass … it’s about learning to dance in the rain.” – Vivian Greene
  • Be true to who you are – Be passionate about what you do. Be authentic.
  • Surround yourself with experts – in the areas where you need a boost.
  • If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again – Test, measure, evaluate, repeat.
