All of my businesses are profitable.

I don't want to be on anyone's board. I just want to have good investments.

Shareholders need to have a real interest in the companies they own. Too many are simply too busy - they are asleep at the wheel.

I want money; I just don't want that money lying around.

I like to see a tidy shop, and I want to see my investments well managed.

Small businesses are clearly more profitable consumers than you or me going in there and buying something off the shelf.
