This weeks guest is the irrepressible Deborah Carr, Business Owner at Total Spa Solutions and new business, Anada.
She shares her story of how the first UK lockdown in March decimated her core business, Total Spa Solutions - a B2B service that supported a fast-growing Spa client list with key staff to maximise revenues through maximising Spa Treatment availability.
Like many, her business suddenly stopped - overnight. And this is after a record-breaking start to 2020.
So what could Deborah do?
Well, she could have shut up shop, she could have taken a summer off, or she could have been another economic victim to the COVID19 pandemic.
But that is not in Deborah's nature as you will see or hear, so after a little reflection and a moment of inspiration on a dog walk, she decided to use her skills and the skills of her team and launch Anada.
Anada is a luxury "at home" Spa Experience which uses all of Deborah's B2B experience and converts that to a new, exceptional B2C brand.
The journey is great example of resilience, hard work and focus, lessons which despite the much over-used pivot word, will hopefully inspire you to make some positive decisions going forward.
This was a great session - fun, human and passionate. Enjoy
