I love business. I love the impact a great business can have on its customers, its staff, the wider community, and for the owner.

Business done well is like alchemy; you can create value where there once was nothing, you can create value from an idea, you can turn ‘lead’ into ‘gold’.

Business owners who do it well can get very rich, if that’s what they want. But in my experience those whose sole purpose for getting into business is to get rich tend to struggle.

Money follows value as I shared in last week’s blog.

Give to get.

As Zig Zigglar famously said, 'You can have everything in life that you want if you just give enough other people what they want.'
