The nine business fundamentals that have never let me down:

1. Look after your people – Happy teams build great businesses.
2. Find your purpose – Businesses should be a force for good in the world.
3. Delegate & trust – Build a strong team and give them permission to lead.
4. Listen more than you speak – Feedback is the best way to grow.
5. Fail fast, learn faster – Every failure is a step forward.
6. Disrupt, disrupt, disrupt – Enter industries that are crying out for a refresh.
7. The circles theory – Start by looking after yourself, then your family, and then keep expanding your impact as you grow.
8. Prioritise your health – You can’t build a business on burnout.
9. Screw it, let’s do it! – No risk, no reward.
