Act now

Simon Woodroffe, the Yo! Sushi founder, says: 'You cannot really be successful without putting in an enormous amount of work. And you can’t do that just from the desire to get richer. You need to have an idea that you want to change your world.' As an entrepreneur, Woodroffe is an ardent believer in self-appraisal, and prefers giving individual employees money to develop an idea on a hunch, both to encourage creativity and to speed up the process. He continues: 'As soon as you start a debate, it becomes a committee. Committees have a rather clever way of stopping anything happening'. This is unthinkable in Woodroffe’s world, where the whole idea is to make things happen; to confront fear of failure and move past it. Whatever the issue faced by a business or individual, he is adamant that the best time to act is now. Source: The Times; Power in Partnership.
