2012 is the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee year, celebrating 60 years.
2012 is also a personal Jubilee for me, celebrating 12 years as a qualified pilot – the appropriately named Silk (Scarf?) Jubilee.
There are many similarities between being a pilot and running a business, the main one being to follow your passion. Indeed, I am being featured in a new book that is shortly to be published ‘Passion Pays’ by Genevieve de Lacaze.
There is an aviation theme to my own first book, ‘Chocks Away: achieving freedom from the 9 to 5’, and it is also something that I’ve mentioned several times in blogs over the last few years:

In the twelve years that I’ve been a pilot, combined with the six years running taxhelp.uk.com, following my passions I’ve had many great experiences. Below are a selection of my flying ones, which are very much linked to business success.
How have you been following your own passions, and what experiences have you had in doing this?
