"Key tip - only do business with people you would be happy to have dinner with"

"Key tip for me - motivation, motivation, motivation!!!"

"It reinforced my belief that you should always have humility and never take from anyone. Listen to your instincts, in these challenging times the voice inside your head can sometimes be drowned out"

"Key tip for me was by his quote 'If it's to be, it's up to me'"

"I got so many key tips - have a positive winning attitude, use common sense, with knowledge & experience - then use judgement, believe you can win, give help, praise and encourage, always have financial flexibility, you must have a vision and stick to it, manage risk v reward, remember you are a guest when visiting another country - respect relationships and responsibility, humility v ego, stay in the game for the long term, hire people better than you and pay them more, have correct financial control, processes very important but should not prevent you from getting where you want to go, learn the culture of other countries and learn to deal with beauraucracy"

"It's all about attitude and giving your people the chance to use their initiative and take responsibility"

"Key tip - take the brave pills"

"Key tip - to take a "Brave Pill" and go for it: rely on your own judgement and take the consequences. Also-interesting how he rates humility as hugely important: rare in someone at his level of achievementin sport and business. Also-get into the hearts and minds of your customers. Be adaptable"

"Key tip for me - keep raising the bar"

"Alastair was a very warm and engaging Chairman"

"Sir Bill is amazing. A true superstar and incredibly inspirational. The Entrepreneurial Exchange at its best"

"What can you say about a living legend? To top it all off a rugby man capped for Scotland!! Does it get any better? His talk was truly inspirational and has put a zip into my step today for sure. I found it particularly reassuring and heartwarming that despite his achievements in life he is still such an easy going, warm and normal guy like me. Hope he makes a killing in Greenland"
