“At the age of 30 I discovered that I could surround myself with the best business mentors in the world – Jim Rohn, Tony Robbins, Richard Branson, Andrew Carnegie, Dale Carnegie, Alan Sugar and even Charles Dickens, and many more. I didn’t have the benefit of a college or university education but at age 15 worked as an entrepreneur and mobile DJ (earning more in one night than my day job paid in a week). I realised while others studied, I learned that you don’t need an MBA to be a successful business owner. I took the creative thinking in how these and other leaders work to push my own limits”.
