Been through the great ups and downs that is part of being in a start up
As I have gone along I have made mistakes and also done some extraordinary things. I was talking to Mark about how I try and keep a rule book to catch some of the things I have learnt in business and in life.
Mark has asked me to share some of these lessons so here we go. I hope that everyone will share their rules with me. Tweet them to me or come over and chat about yours.
