Although as everyone knows, the road to success is never without its pitfalls, bumps in the road and errors in judgment. At age 24 things started to go wrong when a bad debtor and some poor choices forced him to start again from scratch. However, 12 months later and in a blur of entrepreneurial activity, he was back on his feet with a string of new business ideas.

"A lot of people ask me what my secret to success is and I try to encapsulate that in a few short but crucial beliefs that are core to who I am.

The first is easy and that is if I lost everything tomorrow, then I know it would simply be a fantastic excuse to go again! In short, I am not addicted to the outcome, but I AM addicted to playing the game!"

"The 2nd core belief that I have is this: I know that there isn't anything (and I mean not a single thing!) that can ever happen to me in my lifetime that I cannot learn from or be empowered by in SOME way. Period."
