Many people have asked me how did I know what business to go into and I honestly can’t say – it was just gut instinct. It starts with an idea or an opportunity presenting itself and it just snowballs from there.

There are many things to think about when starting a small business from financing it (small business is like at baby – at the start it needs lots of time, new things and cash to fund it), to marketing and advertising it (to get the cash coming in), to getting advise from trusted consultants and advisers such as lawyers and accountants, not to mention finding out the rules and regulations that govern the state that you will be operating in.
