From the Author herself:-
I was an only child, born to older parents who moved around a lot for my Dad’s job. If I didn’t learn to make friends, quickly, I was on my own and I was never too keen on that – I’ve always LOVED people.
Like many of my business idols, I started working very young. My parents made sure I knew how to fend for myself, often saying “one day we won’t be here”; and sadly they were right.’
By 14, I was successfully selling via party plan (home co-ordinates and jewellery), working as a waitress in a carvery, and on Saturdays in a shoe shop (I still love food, shoes, jewellery and home co-ordinates). My Dad wasn't too happy about ferrying me around, but I soon worked out that I liked to keep my mind busy and feel successful, plus I have expensive taste! There was no way I was going to end up with the limited funds that my parents had, I was going to have money to buy things. More importantly, I wasn’t going to get to my mid 60’s and have regrets!
My Dad was a grafter - he was working the day before he died at 74 as a building contracts manager. He loved work, but did so the hard way and not the smart way, my Mum never worked and didn't drive a car - she did however drive me, always saying "you'll never be successful if you work for someone else - start your own business - be your own boss!" how she knew this I’m not really sure; maybe her older brother (she was one of 14) who owned his own electronics company and had a large bungalow in Hertfordshire, ate in Chinese restaurants and drove a Jag – all very lavish in the late 70’s and early 80’s – well it was to us!
The internet brought opportunities to me that simply didn't exist in their days. Sadly, it wasn't until their death in 2002 and 2003 that I decide life was short and I should follow my dreams (or theirs for me). I like to think they are smiling with me as they watch my life unfold, saying 'You go girl, show them what you're made of!'
Over the years, I worked for small and big companies in a variety of sales, finance, marketing and management roles and also started, sold and am still running a variety of small businesses, mainly focused these days around helping people to improve their skills, their earning potential and career through job boards, a recruitment and advertising agency and intuitive life and business coaching using NLP and spiritual direction. I have had many successes and a few failures, but absolutely no regrets. I live by a moto ‘I’m here for a good time, not a long time’.
These days, for me, it’s about being able to grab opportunities, being financially comfortable, enjoying the people I care about and giving back on a mission to empower business women of the world... I’ve driven the Porsches, built a few houses, travelled to incredible parts of the world, built teams and overcome many of my own addictions. I remember where my parents came from and understand what kept them stuck there. I feel lucky that I discovered a toolkit to help me understand myself and I want everyone to have that for themselves if they want it. We should all be able to follow our dreams and have an extraordinary life if we want to, I truly believe that.’
