TIP: Surround yourself with great people

They tell you to surround yourself with great people. It struck me yesterday that we have.

Sitting at my flimsy little office desk I am as comfortable, inspired and energetic as I’ve felt for years.

There’s no big salary and no high-tech resources at my disposal.

There is, however, an abundance of amazing, talented and keen people. Our CEO is a volunteering Doctor from Australia and is a visionary with boundless energy. His wife is equally talented and generous beyond words.

They’re also great fun, and great friends.

We are all supported by some brilliant experts in their field of medicine, law, accounting and business, back in Australia.
