KEY TAKEAWAYS
I googled the cheapest business to start, got some supplies and went out and got started
I grew it into a successful 6 figure business
Every entrepreneur needs a really good reason ‘why’ you have to want to do it.
Everyone has something within them that they can use to drive them forwards.
There are some many different things you can do.
You have to make things happen and other companies doing the same thing is not a reason to not do it.
If they can do it you can do it.
It’s about having the right mindset and making use of opportunities.
You have to accept that things will go wrong and being resilient is key for any entrepreneur.
The apprentice was the best thing I’ve ever done
When I went on the show my business was at its busiest but I came away from the show and looked at the business in the way Lord Sugar would with ‘fresh eyes’ and took the bold decision to close it to pursue my passions
I find confidence in the fact I really want to help. I’m passionate about helping others to succeed.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I just gave my mum a car’
‘As an entrepreneur you have little light bulb moments all the time’
‘I’ve been knocked down so many times’
‘I learnt so much about myself on the show and would love to do it all over again’
