We're a self-awareness agency. I work with teenagers, entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial couples, and global corporate leadership teams.

Tell us about yourself

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Starting the first organic supermarket chain in the UK, Planet Organic, which is now a beloved brand with 13 stores turning over around £50m.

Taking care of self first.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Trust yourself: your heart, not your head.
2. Write a business plan.
3. You can do anything you set your mind to: determination is more important than talent.
