Follow-up Questions

Q. What opportunities were you talking about when you said that you are blessed to be in America as opposed to being in UK?

A. When I talk about opportunities in America I am talking about the general entrepreneurial spirit there is in the states. In the UK there is very much a sense of your place is your place. Whereas in the USA there is a spirit of being a pioneer and making a better life for yourself. That spirit is what has allowed me my great entrepreneurial success.
