In this episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan continues his conversation with Cara, who transformed her business from owning a single beauty salon with a turnover of £180,000 to managing a group of nine salons generating over £2 million in revenue within 18 months of joining the Mastermind program.

They discuss the importance of personal development in becoming a leader, and the strategies deployed to manage growth, such as implementing systems, assembling a skilled team, and maintaining tight financial controls.

Cara also shares personal anecdotes about dealing with family and peer reactions to her success and emphasises the significance of continuous learning and self-investment as key factors in her business journey.

The episode concludes with insights into Cara's approach to business acquisitions and the recognition she received as the 'New Deal Maker of the Year.'
