Entrepreneurs and their diet

Entrepreneurs diet? Rather more accurately what is the diet of an entrepreneur?

My good friend DeeDee Cuddihy has been fascinated by what entrepreneurs eat for some time. I have to confess -given my interest in food and background running a food company-I too have been fascinated by this topic  and, as we are in January, I thought it would be worth exploring for 2010.

If you run your own business do you look after your diet?

Do you think it is important for entrepreneurs to have a healthy diet.Indeed are entrepreneurs slim,fit and in peak condition? I have a weak spot for cake and find a cup of tea and a scone rather relaxing in times of stress.(I suppose that is healthier than booze and fags.)

I am starting to do interviews over 2010 with entrepreneurs on what they eat and why,so if you have any stories they will be gratefully received.

Entrepreneurs and business startups: who inspires you?

I was recently asked to do an article on inspiration for entrepreneurs and business start ups and this got tme thinking…

I think there are two types of people that inspire you. The first are those who make you so angry about their approach to life and what they do that you want to change it. That was the case with me when I started teaching – with my first head teacher.  She was so profoundly anti-people that it really inspired me to take a different approach to education which I suppose I have been carrying on with ever since.
