Angus Oliphant: “Decide where you want to be in five years and then you can work out how to get there.” Simple. It’s one of those rather glib suggestions doled out by every man and his dog looking to sound a bit clever! Another is the ‘what percentage of your week is spent on sales, would you say?’ – the meaning is implicit. Not enough, clearly. But then in a company of only one department – the one entitled ‘Ministry of Headless Chickens’ its hardly surprising is it, Einstein.’

Angus Oliphant: When we started Miniscoff, waayyy back when, someone remarked how tough it would be setting up a new business with small children (ours were 6, 4 and -2 at the time). I'm not sure they got the age range right. Now with a teen, a virtual teen and a wannabe 5yo 'teen', the average day seems to have shrunk by half yet again - how in heaven's name are you supposed to manage both effectively?
