What was your motivation to start your own business?

Jamie Smalley

To make products that solve problems with a by-product of the freedom to explore and travel the world with my family. I also couldn't just sit in an office!

What's your advice for balance home life with work when running a business?

Change your sleep cycles and patterns so you can squeeze in everything required for family time, have a successful business and be relatively normal by meeting friends as regularly as time allows.

What's your top tip for effective sales and marketing?

Do plenty of due diligence on who you are trying to sell to before making an approach.

Which tools could you not live without in your business?

What movie, song or book offers you the most business inspiration anhy?

Forrest Gump. He's nice to people and nice things happen to him in return. Good ethos for going about one's business.

What's been your biggest business success to date?

Achieving our first target of being stocked in over 100 stores in the U.K.

Runderwear

If you had to live on a desert island with one entrepreneur who would it be and why?

My current business partner. We could plan our next venture before being rescued and he's my best friend so we would make each other laugh for as long as we were there.

What are your ambitions for the next five years?

Runderwear known as the world's best sports underwear brand. Masters of Mayfair known to produce the world's finest sleeping masks. Both selling successfully on a global scale.

&lt;p&gt;Hi, I'm Ceylan (call me&amp;nbsp;"J"). I'm on a mission to empower female entrepreneurs to build and grow fulfilling businesses that help them achieve&amp;nbsp;their financial and life goals while living enjoyable lives. I do this by developing their business acumen, strategic mindsets and entrepreneurial skills.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am a strategist and marketing expert who spent 15 years resolving corporate companies’ issues. Then I decided to put my know-how at the service of SMEs and more specifically female entrepreneurs.&amp;nbsp;I like to call myself an entrepreneurship coach and business strategist.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the co-founder and CEO of Academy for Women Entrepreneurs or 'AWE' (https://academyforwomenentrepreneurs.com/) I'm building a comprehensive network of like-minded female small business owners to help them dare, lead and change - all supported our award-winning&amp;nbsp;business training, coaching and collaboration opportunities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Female entrepreneurs are key drivers for innovation, productivity, growth, employment and social progress. Women business owners can, and want to change the world for the better and I want to help them to bring about that change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So if you want to join a community of AWEsome female founders&amp;nbsp;please connect, PM me and say hi!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
