Obviously I wasn’t born knowing how to do any of these things, I don’t have a swanky degree (I did have a HND in business and finance) and I wasn’t born into a family with lots of city connections. I was, however, raised in a strict religious environment where you learnt to stand on your own two feet, that a woman knows her place, and if you make your bed you have to lie in it.

Meaning, you roll up your sleeves and get stuff done. No matter what life is throwing at you, you learn to deal with it, no one is going to do it for you and you turn any set back into a strength.

I did however experience my father building his businesses with the wildest entrepreneurial mind and success. From a young age I worked in his frozen foods factory packing fish in my summer holidays (Oh the glamour!) then working alongside him and I was running his telesales team by the age of 20 and oversaw the production within his factory. I loved the hustle of all aspects of business!
