Tell us about yourself
I personally built a very successful career for myself in HR in the last ten years. A catalyst for transformation, I achieved great results for the companies I worked for, especially employee engagement. My experience is a testament that everything is possible. You can have a career or business of your dream in time record as well. What got me started on my business was that I was made redundant at the height of the pandemic, which pushed me to start my business.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner was the creation of my signature programme, ‘Attract your Dream Job in 4 Weeks’ on the first round of delivering the programme. One of my clients got a job at the beginning of week 3 of me delivering it!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The hardest thing that comes with being a business owner is boundaries. It is very easy when you work from home to have work on your business 24/7 without having a sense of a break.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- If you have a viable business idea, go for it and get started.
- Create strong boundaries with your time.
- Keep Learning your business is your biggest teacher.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
