Summary

I have ran my own Business for 25 years, when I started out I was a overly confident Money Broker that believed that employing staff, looking after customers in the hospitality Industry was going to be easy.

Of course I found out that I could not have been more wrong and I virtually had to reprogrammed myself. To run your own business and employ around 20 staff you have to learn to wear many hats. It has been an education and have learnt valuable life lessons. It has been an honour to have been given the chance to have my own business, but I got an offer I could not refuse and have decided to work for someone else.
