The BBC ‘Be Your Own Boss’ series has now ended and past episodes are no longer available to watch on BBCÂ iPlayer. However, you can view clips from the series and read bios of Richard, his team of mentors and the fortunate participants of the programme here:

You can also read an interview with Richard Reed, which includes some excellent tips and advice here:

My favourite quote from the interview is…..
“An entrepreneur accepts that the world is the way that it is and goes about changing it rather than waiting for someone to make it easy for them.”
However that, in my view, is doing it the hard way. But, as is often the case, to make it easier you just need to change one little thing. In this case I would just change one single word to read as follows…..
“An entrepreneur accepts that the world is the way that it is and goes about exploiting it rather than waiting for someone to make it easy for them.” But then, that’s just my way! You find your own 🙂
