Dr Steve Garnett’s ten tips for business success


1. Nothing beats being in the right place at the right time – as long as you have found your oil i.e. the business proposition you are absolutely passionate about


2. Great things don’t happen to you unless you are prepared to come out of your comfort zone – and that’s not always easy


3. Create a compelling vision of the future – it’s not just a job


4. Surround yourself with exceptional and smart people, build an inspiring and talented team and reward them - don’t accept average or poor performers


5. ‘The French are the same as us’. A good business model will work the world over – people really are the same despite the countries they are operating in


6. Revenue growth solves all problems


7. Build everything around your customers and instill this within the culture of the company


8. Never forget to plan


9. Ensure everybody in the company understands and can certify your differentiation


10. Do well and do good – a philanthropic approach integrated into the business


‘I put my extraordinary


success down to luck, and to being in the right place at the right time’
