In this week's special episode, John Lee talks to legendary fashion designer, Jimmy Choo, the man behind one of the most recognisable brand names in the world.

Jimmy discusses the value in taking the first leap towards following your dreams and passions, and what it takes to turn that passion into success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you have a dream, then do everything you can build your self-confidence and self-belief. You are the master of your own destiny. Never let anyone hold you back.
• Too many people have ideas, but not the drive to follow them through. We must never give up, and we must not be afraid to take the first, vital step.
• Have the humility to admit that you don't know everything. Admitting that you have things to learn is the first step to taking on the best guidance from those who have walked the path before you.

 

BEST MOMENTS

'You've got to believe in yourself,. You've got to be confident'

'I wanted to be something, so that I could show my talent'

'You have to be able to say to yourself, I'm not the most clever, but I'm willing to learn'
