At 13 when I left home and school, living rough for several months was tough and scary particularly in the second largest city in the U.K.

Obviously at that age I couldn't work legally, I worked 60-70 hrs a week making pizzas in the local pizza shop renting a bedsit above, not very nice! 

It's here I started to understand the basics of business, I was itching to get onto the tills to manage the customer transaction finally reaching a legal working age this became a reality - loved it.

At 16 I was now working part-time as a telesales agent as well as part-time also in the pizza shop, life was become very interesting in the business world - now at 16 with 2 jobs one with a fixed wage whilst my other was 70% performance based.
