Tough times don't last but tough people do. The business that can survive the toughest of times is the business that can crush it. Over the last 20 years, my restaurant Red Lantern has experienced some of the most tumultuous times - times so tough we have fallen to our knees. But I know what it takes to get back up time and time again to swing the bat again.

This is why I understand the plight of the Australian farmer. I understand what it takes to build something out of nothing. I understand the calm courage, the resilience and the grit that is required to face adversity and crises. I understand what it takes to overcome our fears, fearless, stress-free and unshakeable. But the truth is that tougher times are coming. The key is survival is to learn how to thrive and prosper. Learn how to remain fearless, stress-free and unshakeable in business and in life.
