How They Do Business

My whole business philosophy is “a little off a lot” and this week on How They Do Business, I talk about how I learnt to run a business successfully. I discuss my journey working in hospitality before I becoming a dietitian and then through my dietetics career prior to owning Sunshine Coast Dietetics. The good, the bad and the biggest learnings of my working life which shaped me and how I operate my businesses and how I treat people today.

“I have the ability right now to just go, nope I'm done. Yes, there is a lot of things that would fall if I did that but I could. That's my ability as the business owner. But I made my bed and I will not let the people in my organisation down.” This one is all about resilience as a business owner. With the recent news surrounding COVID-19, businesses across the world are being forced into isolation (or worse) and my businesses are not exempt from that.
