	Eight years ago, when I set up KLH sustainability a number of colleagues in a similar financial, family and career situation said to me “I wish I could”. When I asked them “why don’t you?”, none of them could give a convincing reason. More recently, over breakfast at a conference, I mentioned to a well-respected company director that I split my time between the hectic London streets and the peaceful French Alps, he told me he’d always fancied smoking ham in Spain. I asked him why he didn’t make that dream happen, he told me it “wasn’t the right time”. At over 60 years of age, one has to wonder if the right time will be too late.
