Question: What sacrifices did you have to make to be a successful entrepreneur?
问题：为了成为一名成功的企业家你做出过哪些牺牲？
Fraser: Getting the business off the ground took a huge amount of hard work. In the early days, I was spending 12 hours or more a day in the kitchen. I have to spend a lot of time on the road, visiting customers and sharing my story at events around the world. It has been worth all the work and I've enjoyed it all along.
弗雷泽：让公司起步需要付出很多。起初我每天都要在厨房里待上至少12个小时，另外还花费了大量时间在路上奔波、拜访顾客、或者参加世界各地的活动、分享我的故事。不过付出的所有这些努力都是值得的，我一直都很享受这个过程。
Question: What are your hobbies? What do you do in your non-work time?
问题：你有什么兴趣爱好呢？业余时间你会做些什么呢？
Fraser: I enjoy cooking, travelling, and music. I don't work at weekends and have plenty of time to spend with my friends.
弗雷泽：我喜欢烹饪、旅行和音乐。周末休息的时候我会花很多时间和朋友们在一起。
Question: What qualities have you developed as result of running your business?
问题：在经营企业的过程中你培养了哪些品质？
Fraser: I am invited to speak every week at schools, colleges, universities, and conferences, sharing the story of how built my grandmother's jam recipe into a successful company. Having that experience has helped me to become good at talking to the audience, and I'm getting invited to bigger and bigger events, sometimes in the U.S.A. and around Europe.
弗雷泽：我受邀每周都要在中学、学院、大学和会议上发表演讲，分享我如何将祖母的果酱配方发展成一家成功企业的故事。因为有了这样的经历，所以我变得擅长和观众交谈。现在有越来越大的活动邀请我参加，有在美国的也有在欧洲的。
Question: How has being an entrepreneur affected your family life?
问题：成为企业家对你的家庭生活有什么影响呢？
Fraser: My family have enjoyed the experience of the past few years, and without their great support my business wouldn't have been possible.
弗雷泽：我的家人也很享受过去几年的经历，如果没有他们的大力支持，我的创业就不可能有今天的成就。
Question: What is your advice to upcoming entrepreneurs?
问题：你对未来的创业者有什么建议？
Fraser: Be willing to give things a shot and don't be afraid that they might not work out. I'd also say it's a great idea to find mentor-someone who has already "been there and done it". The best advice I have had was from my mentor, who taught me about how supermarkets worked and gave me a lot of confidence in my product.
弗雷泽：要去尝试，不要害怕失败。我还想说，找一位“过来人”当导师是不错的选择。我收到的最好的建议便来自我的导师，他教我超市是如何运作的，让我对自己的产品充满信心。
