If someone suggested you start your own business, but you’d have to negotiate a global recession, 4 trade shows where you were snowed in, a book fair when hardly anyone turned up because of a volcanic ash cloud and that your MD (and partner) would be diagnosed with, and have to go through treatment for, cancer at the same time...
