From sleeping in a phone box to founding a six-figure business, it's been an eventful two years for Gavin Eastham.

After spending a few days there, the local librarian became suspicious. He told her he had plans to set up his own business.Strategy by day, shelter by night

He was also using the library for something more pressing: "I was actually researching how to survive being homeless. I'm a bit of a city boy so I did a bit of research reading blogs and forums about how to survive on the streets.""This sounds crazy but the only thing I've ever been good or half decent at was martial arts.

He started researching and came up with a company name and logo, wrote a syllabus and bought a domain name for £1.58."This dream I thought that I might one day fulfil was giving me the energy I needed to survive." After three weeks on the streets, he managed to secure temporary housing and then, in May last year, launched his martial arts school Cobra Life in Flintshire, Wales.
