I set up this magazine called Student when I was 16, and I didn't do it to make money - I did it because I wanted to edit a magazine. There wasn't a national magazine run by students, for students. I didn't like the way I was being taught at school. I didn't like what was going on in the world, and I wanted to put it right.

I have no secret. There are no rules to follow in business. I just work hard and, as I always have done, believe I can do it. Most of all, though, I try to have fun.

If you are a new startup company, try not to arouse the interest or suspicion of your competition especially if they are a bigger company. They can crush you while you are still in your startup phase. Lie low while still strengthening your bottom line.
