In her words

I went self-employed at 28 with a van and a phone number. Six people work here now. I am blunt about money: what to charge, when to walk away from a customer, and how to survive the first slow winter.

What she can help with

  • Starting a Business

    Going from an idea to a registered, trading business without a safety net.

  • Pricing Your Work

    Charging what the work is worth, and holding the number when it is questioned.

  • First Hires & Managing a Team

    Becoming someone's boss for the first time when you built the job yourself.

  • Being Taken Seriously by Clients

    When customers ask to speak to the man who is actually your apprentice.
