Describe your business in a tweet.
I coach skincare entrepreneurs to get clear on their 'why', visualise their 'how' and gain acclaim as the must-have brand in their industry.
What is your favourite business book?
Think & Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, because I believe success comes primarily from mindset and persistence.
Who is your business hero and why?
Richard Branson for his free range inspiration and Alan Sugar for dispensing with the bulls**t.
What has been your biggest challenge?
Accepting my true value and capabilities and their power to help others.
What has been your greatest success?
Starting as a single parent with no money and three kids I managed to build three, six figure businesses all based on personal passions.
These days I get a huge sense of success from seeing my clients reach their goals.
What piece of advice do you wish you had known when starting out?
That you have to crack limiting beliefs around your capability to earn serious money. That passion and persistence are, in my view as important as great product and good management. Good business is where everyone makes money.
Why do you consider long-term strategic advice important to business success?
You need to have a clear direction and then break it down into manageable steps in order to move forwards and work productively. Focus on the vision, and the details will fall into place.
If you had a superpower what would it be?
I would re-vamp the education system so that kids are driven towards working for themselves rather than being streamlined into the job machine.
Your wealth and security are not an employer's responsibility; all the tools are there to enable you to take your future into your own hands.
How has Enterprise Nation adviser membership helped your business?
Enterprise Nation adviser membership has provided me with a network of like minded free and inspirational thinkers who share valuable experience. It has also given me a platform where I can contribute my knowledge and skills to the audience they can best serve.
