Don't listen to occupational therapists

Liz Jackson, managing director of Great Guns Marketing, lost her sight during the company's first year. Since then she has been awarded an MBE for services to business and won a string of entrepreneurial awards.

When Morgan began losing her sight, she was visited by an occupational therapist.

The therapist suggested two alternative careers:
  • Masseuse
  • Piano tuner
She ignored this advice - and thank goodness. She has a brilliant story about taking business risks and how to stay positive.

Morgan has two bits of advice:
  • Whatever you do...don't rely on luck
  • Whatever you do...don't be a nearly man or women (don't bore people with tales of things you nearly did)
