BEST MOMENTS
"I do believe that we're all born pure, et cetera, and we're all born with so much love, abundance, potential, et cetera. But over the years, I think it's buried."
"I was being coached on a personal level. By the way, I'm not born into personal development or business. I am absolutely completely different to my whole family."
"I think I was trying to prove to myself. I think that's the thing I'm always trying to prove to myself."
"I always say, asset is in wisdom. Asset is not what you've got, it's who you've become."
"It's amazing what you can achieve, though. I haven't got any money, I can't do it. We're struggling, you know, beans on toast style, but I'll go and sell some stuff from the garage to get the three grand."
