2010 Fast 50 videos |

| What is one word that describes what it takes to successfully lead a fast-growing business? | |
| To quote the late great Andy Warhol "making money is art and working is art, and good business is the best art". We reckon this quote is pretty accurate. Here's how some of this year's Fast 50 contenders achieved their masterpiece. | |
| It is important for businesses to learn from each other, we asked the 2010 Fast 50 what pearl of wisdom would you impart on other fast-growing businesses? | |
| This year we noticed that the Fast 50 are a relatively positive bunch. But it can't be all fluffy ducks and sweet smelling roses, so we wanted to know, what really annoyed them, what made their gears grind. You may be surprised... | |
| All business challenges are underpinned by a healthy dose of passion. With this in mind we took inspiration from one of the greatest artists and inventors Leonardo da Vinci, when he said "where the spirit does not work with the head, there is no art". We asked the question what are you passionate about? | |
| What is the toughest thing you have had to do in the past year? | |
| Successful business, like great art, starts with a vision. We asked what was your vision and how has it changed (if at all)? | |
| We decided to test the creative skills of the Fast50 and asked them to draw a picture of something that symbolises their business and tell us why. | |
