ENTREPRENEUR LIFE
The Entrepreneur Life is full of twists and turns.
The Entrepreneur Life is a vivid one.
For more than twenty years I have had an entrepreneur’s life. I left corporate life and started my own business when my children were small. The entrepreneur life has been full of ups and downs. And for many people this life is not for them. It is full of risk and unknown. No two days are a like. Every part of my life is different.
However there is one single thread that holds the entrepreneur’s life together. That is the deep commitment to hard work, making a difference and serving customers. I thrive on finding and delighting customers. In this section I shed light on my journey, and my life. This is a series of blog posts which diarise my week and share what it is that I get up to.
I have found that the entrepreneur life is full of twists and turns and many life lesson. But since 2017 and with the launch of the Big Red Group the entrepreneur’s life has got much bigger as we play a global game.

Life as an entrepreneur
The New Hustle Documentary Entrepreneurship is a long, tough road — there’s no denying it. We heard Coldplay loud and clear when they told us ‘nobody said it was easy’. Being in business also comes with a lot of pressure that perhaps can’t be seen from the outside...
If I’d stayed at Apple, I’d never be an entrepreneur
Leaving The Corporate World I “should have” practised more yoga and I “could have” started when I was younger. “Could have”, “would have” and “should have” are all statements of regret, and not ones that I tend to use. So, I rarely look back. But when I do reflect on...
