What is your excuse for not reaching your potential?

I’m sure your Primary school teacher found something good about you to put in your report.

Where did it all go wrong? Tell us your story?

I feel I had the fundamental talent to do something in music or art, I just wasn't arsed working at them. So laziness with a healthy dash of drink is probably the reason

Exam anxiety, cost me better GCSE, A Level and University qualifications

Seeing how unmotivated I am about career success, I've probably overachieved in that sense but at the same time that's probably why I've gone pretty well in my career as I'm a lot more laid back than others in similar positions

Obviously I've had some luck along the way but in an industry where I didn't go to a red brick uni, know people, or go to private school, I've done alright

If I knew then what I know now, I have no doubt that I would have been far more successful and an even more unpleasant and unhappy individual ...
