Nearly went to prison...
Surprised this got past the moderator....
May I suggest restraint - I believe that an anonymous forum doesn't provide much protection. His lawyers beat BA remember!
Nearly went to prison a few times 'to see Geoffrey Archer/ Ronnie Biggs/ Johny Aitken' was probably what you meant to say - anything for some free publicity!
I started a modest business 9 years ago - it took 5 years to make a profit. Whilst not in the Branson league - and never will be 0.0001 of it - I do face the occasional remark that suggests I have it easy - can fly when like, work when I like etc. etc.
Invariably, the remarks come from people in secure jobs who couldn't ever magine taking the plunge - chucking it all in and doing something they really believed in.
The risks ensure that only a small percentage of people actually have the balls to do it.
Life is no rehearsal - better to try and fail than never having tried. You will only ever go to your grave saying ' I wish I had .....'
You will never know until you try.
