The Scottish government set a goal of increasing exports by 50% by 2017. That is ambitious. Is it achievable?

In 2003 Scotland had 36 new business registrations per 10,000 adults. It's still the same.

In 1998 I invested in the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship at Strathclyde Uni and subsequently put more capital into enterprise education to try and help change the culture.

When you have an opportunity to do something again, the money goes up and people get more conservative.

One thing I have clear is that I don't want to work for money anymore.

Crime, money, power, drugs - are all linked.

Even though I'm a hype man myself, I like the practicality of it all. People who understand how to turn a profit. At the end of the day, this is still business so I'm looking for real practical knowledge of how to actually make money, not necessarily raise it.
