Mike Ellis’ passion for business growth is rather infectious, yet our discussion was very light-hearted in the spirit of what Tea with Lily is all about. I have personally learned a lot from him over the years and was absolutely delighted that he agreed to have tea with me because he can be 'shy', when he wants to be. Some highlights below:

Entrepreneurs should have a certain level of doggedness/killer instinct in order to succeed.
