I’m sure I can’t be the only person to be completely inspired by Jackie Cobell – she is the 56 year old lady who set off to swim the Channel last week. She succeeded, but only after over 28 hours in the water, making her the slowest cross Channel swimmer ever.

I reckon that also makes her the best cross Channel swimmer ever – apparently she swam over 60 miles, not just the normal 22 miles because of being swept north and south by the tide.

I just think she’s a complete hero. I can’t begin to imagine being in the water for all that time, let alone swimming over 60 MILES! I’ve never met Jackie, although I’d definitely like to now but, she strikes me as the sort of person who will do ‘whatever it takes.’ Infact she’s proven that she is.

That’s always been my motto in business – ‘whatever it takes’. It’s my job description if you like and so it is for all super-successful entrepreneurs.

Metaphorically speaking, would your business have got across the Channel if it had taken that long and been that tough?

At what point would you have given up?

I’m quite proud of my “stick-ability” but I can’t comprehend what Jackie did. It was completely amazing.

She’s my new role model…
