There has been a lot of horsing around over the festive season, but let's now get back to business. This is aimed more at the successful, established guys, but everyone is welcome to give their views.

What is your best advice for someone wanting to start a new business today?

Here's my contribution:

Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
Lao Tzu
