Lisa is a smart, well-respected and much-loved entrepreneur whose businesses have gone from standing start to over £12 Million in revenue in just 5 years. But, as she shares in this episode, from starting out as a teen who was bullied for being poor (which resulted in having a knife put to her throat!) success was not guaranteed for her! As Lisa openly admits in this show, due to bullying, she coasted through the last few years of school and left as fast as possible, meaning she had to start at the very bottom of the working world, eventually clawing her way to achieving what would be considered as a career-ladder success. Only to find that the job left her overworked and unable to care for her infant twins. This situation led to a massive shift in her work environment, resulting in a lot of debt, which eventually spurred on the launch of her first business, a wedding planning company - which was not without its challenges… especially as Lisa realised that she didn’t have the first idea about how to run an organization! This all changed when she found her first coach who made her focus on the ONE CORE THING that all entrepreneurial start-ups need to focus on… ideal customer! She shares the impact of the ‘one customer revelation’ in this show as well as a huge amount of other insights and wisdom that she has picked up along the way to becoming a multi-millionaire, with her feet very much still on the ground!
