Gilly Woodhouse| Osteopath global sensation from humble beginnings, Unexpected business from daily life
From Farmer's Daughter to Global Success. In this episode of Sweat Grit & Hustle, Tracy is joined by guest Gilly Woodhouse, who has grown her Osteo business to a global level bringing in five figures a month. Join the discussion on how to balance business and family life, and how you can overcome adversity to start again and make something better. Do you think you can sweat, grit, and hustle your way into finding the right gaps in the market?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Gilly’s first solo business was making ready meals for parents at her children’s international school in Athens. She saw that a lot of the parents weren’t home cooks and knew there was a demand that she could fill.
- After finding out her son had to have a heart transplant, Gilly had to drop her business abroad and return to the UK. Through her son's treatment she started taking him to an osteopath who’s work really helped him.
- You don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Your business could end because of some completely unforeseen circumstance. When that happens you have to put your head down and do what you need to do. There will be more business opportunities in the future.
- Gilly then saw another gap in the market as she found out that the osteopaths she was working with had no idea about marketing and were finding it hard to get new clients in the door.
- In the health and wellness industry the point is to make your client better, and when they’re better they won’t need your services anymore. So the marketing side is incredibly important to the sustainability of that business.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I thought I could just jump back on the tube and go to work’
‘People would be buying jewellery off my body basically’
‘You could see it as being stuck on the bus, or you could see it as a private chauffeur’
ABOUT THE GUEST
After leaving a career in recruitment in 1994 Gilly started her first business in the network marketing field and began what has become a 27-year journey from humble beginnings to a business serving clients throughout the globe.
That journey has not been plain sailing and life as a business owner has brought many ups and downs; a move to Athens, the beginning of a new business, serving a demand in the ex-pat community, the dropping of that business for an emergency repatriation to save her son and a chance encounter that led to her current business, which in 8 years has gone from earning less than £100 a month to a 5-figure monthly income serving Osteopath's around the globe.
