Summary

I don't take no for an answer. If I did, I wouldn't walk, drive or turn up every day. Although outwardly I have a disability, I have used this to develop a never-say-die attitude that I bring to my business and personal life. I regularly encounter amazed looks and people joking about my appearance - this spurs me on to be better than them, and the best person I can be.
