What's your biggest business success to date?
Opening a business in the middle of Covid and creating a strong community of clients who loved the service we provided, despite all the restrictions and limitations in place.
I have no doubt that starting up during Covid made me a tougher person all round.
What's your biggest business fail?
Not asking for help. For a long time, I did absolutely everything in my business - teaching classes, payroll, cleaning, accounts - you name it, I was doing it.
Once I learnt that it's ok to delegate and outsource some of these jobs, I started to scale my business. I finally understood the phrase "work on your business, not in it".
Tell us something about yourself.
When I was seven years old, I went missing - only for my frantically worried mum to find me by the roadside selling my toys shaking a biscuit tin full of coins shouting "toys for sale, everything must go today!"
Why do you deserve Lord Sugar’s investment?
Anyone in business must work hard, but I work harder!
