Question: What sacrifices did you have to make to be a successful entrepreneur?
問題：為了成為一名成功的企業家你做出過哪些犧牲？
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.
弗雷澤：讓公司起步需要付出很多。起初我每天都要在廚房里待上至少12個小時，另外還花費了大量時間在路上奔波、拜訪顧客、或者參加世界各地的活動、分享我的故事。不過付出的所有這些努力都是值得的，我一直都很享受這個過程。
Question: What are your hobbies? What do you do in your non-work time?
問題：你有什么興趣愛好呢？業余時間你會做些什么呢？
Fraser: I enjoy cooking, travelling, and music. I don't work at weekends and have plenty of time to spend with my friends.
弗雷澤：我喜歡烹飪、旅行和音樂。周末休息的時候我會花很多時間和朋友們在一起。
Question: What qualities have you developed as result of running your business?
問題：在經營企業的過程中你培養了哪些品質？
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.
弗雷澤：我受邀每周都要在中學、學院、大學和會議上發表演講，分享我如何將祖母的果醬配方發展成一家成功企業的故事。因為有了這樣的經歷，所以我變得擅長和觀眾交談。現在有越來越大的活動邀請我參加，有在美國的也有在歐洲的。
Question: How has being an entrepreneur affected your family life?
問題：成為企業家對你的家庭生活有什么影響呢？
Fraser: My family have enjoyed the experience of the past few years, and without their great support my business wouldn't have been possible.
弗雷澤：我的家人也很享受過去幾年的經歷，如果沒有他們的大力支持，我的創業就不可能有今天的成就。
Question: What is your advice to upcoming entrepreneurs?
問題：你對未來的創業者有什么建議？
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.
弗雷澤：要去嘗試，不要害怕失敗。我還想說，找一位“過來人”當導師是不錯的選擇。我收到的最好的建議便來自我的導師，他教我超市是如何運作的，讓我對自己的產品充滿信心。
