Summary
Entrepreneur and star of Dragon’s Den, Sara Davies MBE tells Gabby how she started her hugely successful crafting business from her university bedroom, simply by identifying an envelope related problem and finding a solution. After putting her all into her work for many years, she talks about how her business ambitions have changed now she’s in her forties, and why she’s zoning in on what’s really important to her. Sara also talks about being a home girl and deciding to stay in the North East; getting into healthy habits before the menopause; and having accountability angels which help her to stay on track with her health goals.
For more on what Sara has learned about business, check out her new book The Six-Minute Entrepreneur.
