"We entrepreneurs are loners, vagabonds, troublemakers. Success is simply a matter of finding and surrounding ourselves with those open-minded and clever souls who can take our insanity and put it to good use."
Anita Roddick... a successful female entrepreneur who, from a single shop in Brighton in 1976, presided over a franchise of 2,000 stores in 53 countries just 30 years later.
This is how they described her in an article after her death a couple of days ago..
A woman of fierce passions, boundless energy, unconventional idealism and sometimes diva-like temperament, Ms. Roddick was one of Britain’s most visible business executives, and not just because of the ubiquitous and instantly recognizable Body Shop franchises. She worked on behalf of numerous causes such as
The rain forest,
Debt relief for developing countries,
Indigenous farmers in impoverished nations,
Whales,
Voting rights,
Anti-sexism and anti-ageism...
Hmm... Inspiring....
Hope to have the strength to be as crazy as you, dame....
