I cant describe to you how surreal it was
walking down those steps onto the stage
of Dragon’s Den. I was excited, confident
and ready. I took a deep breath, walked to
the center of the room, looked up and saw
Arlene smiling at me.
“I urge you to close your eyes, think
of what lights you on fire for this life,
do this often, it must start with a
dream, open your eyes and see that
first crumb. Believe you deserve it and
I promise you will live it.”
Fear is the edge of Victory.
As for what happened
on Dragons Den, well
I can’t tell you, as it has
not gone to air yet. It is
set for sometime between
September 2017 and March
of 2018.
I will share a secret with
you though, when I close
my eyes and think of what
really lights me on fire, it is
none of the above, but each
of these ‘crumbs’ is a step
closer to it, one day very
soon, my eyes will open and
we will all see my dream.
