want range broads
I decided at the outset to invest in a fairly broad range of businesses, as I didn't want to get pigeonholed into one sector.
real believe opportunity
Since there are a wide range of entrepreneurs fundraising at any given time, I looked at each opportunity as it has arisen and on its own merits. Then I've sat down with my financial advisers, we've looked at the numbers and gone for the businesses I believe have real potential.
loss way succeed
I fully understand that not all of the companies will succeed and that there will be losses along the way, but this is very much the norm with early stage investment.
dog doors my-family
As soon as I walk through the door and see my family and the dogs, I feel relaxed.
team simple meals
Every week I'll be spending money on flights, accommodation, stringing and even things as simple as taxis, meals out and, of course, paying the other members of my team. I'm still very careful, though, with what I'm spending.
odds shining cost
I'll never pay above the odds for something if there's a more cost-effective alternative, so I guess that's where the saver in me shines through.
my-family family-life centre
Owning a property is great as that's my base and the centre of my family life.
I'm on the road so much that I don't get to spend as much time there as I would like.
dog sweet brother
I guess the closest I came was doing chores around the house to earn pocket money. My brother and I would have to do the washing up, cleaning around the house, walking my grandparents' dog, lots of things. We didn't get a huge amount but it was always enough to be able to walk down to the local shops and get some sweets.
tennis emotion
There is a fear of emotion in tennis.
winning years next
This year its just about winning the big matches because if youre going to get into the top 20 then youve got to do well at the Masters Series and the grand slams. I dont have any ranking points to defend for the first few months of the year so if I do well over the next few weeks then Ive got a chance of doing it.
men use world
The world asks, "What does a man own?"; Christ asks, "How does he use it?"
prayer humility trying
The only humility that is really ours is not that which we try to show before God in prayer, but that which we carry with us in our daily conduct..
christian prayer heart
I am sure that there are many Christians who will confess that their experience has been very much like my own-that we had long known the Lord without realizing that meekness and lowliness of heart should be the distinguishing feature of the disciple, as they were of the Master. Such humility is not a thing that will come on its own. It must be made the object of special desire, prayer, faith and practice.
