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.
believe giving balls
I believe you should give 100% on the court, so I chase every ball.
believe arguing dont-believe
I tend not to argue about things that I don't believe in.
believe winning wimbledon
Winning Wimbledon, I can't get my head around that. I still can't believe it's happened.
believe player beats
You have to go into each match believing you can beat all of the players.
age australian believe best few problems starts win
I actually can't believe it. I didn't have the best of starts this season; I had a few problems at the Australian Open. But to win at such a young age is pretty special.
giving important fortunate
I'm incredibly fortunate and it's important to me to make sure that I give back where I can.
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.
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.
